When text fields that I have on the bottom of my ipad app are clicked on the keyboard pops up right over the fields. Is there a way to push everything up such as a displace (the vertical distance of the keyboard) upward of the bottom of the ipad area?

Thanks,

Bert

Hi Bert,

I am not sure what you mean?!
We cannot change/move the virtual iOS keyboard in any way!

General hint, if possible:
I would (and do) change my layout to take this into account! Make a screenshot (from the simulator)
with visible keyboard and use this screenshot for you layout. That is what do!

If that is not possible, can't you just set the loc of your field(s) to a correct place "on openfield"?
And "move" it back on "close/exitfield"?

what happens is my text field at the bottom of the screen is completely covered by the keyboard when you select it for text input. I was hoping I could displace the bottom section of the ipad screen upwards so that the text field is visible while typing info in it.

I'm afraid we can't do that!

See my last posting, you need either cahnge your layout to take the virtual keyboard
position into account or move your entry field(s) as long as the user enters text.

Thanks Klaus... I think I'm going to move my 'stuff' up above where the keyboard comes in for now. But I will work on a movement script.
