LiveCode Forums.

Hi all -

I have a couple of quick questions about text fields in iOS. I'm using LiveCode 7.0.

I have numerous text entry fields in my app, and everything is working well - except for when the user attempts to enter an Emoji character in one of the fields. And when they do, the app just completely freezes. Anything I can do to allow Emoji in the fields? Or I'd even be fine with not allowing Emoji - how would I block the user from even trying to enter them?

And on a somewhat related note - is there a way to enable the editing Loupe in text fields? That would be just grand.

I'd definitely appreciate any advice you could offer.

Happy holidays all.

Joel..

Instead of using LC fields, you need to use a UITextField... then you can enter any language you wish, no problem with emoji characters... as to your second question, I don't understand what you mean by 'editing loupe'..

be well

Thanks, Dixie. I appreciate your help. And I suspect that using the native text fields will also address my second question about the "editing loupe" (that magnifying lens you get when you go to select text in iOS). I'll have to go back and restructure my stack now, but at least I have the answer. Thanks so much.
