How to deactivate a keyboard???

Post by Jellobus » Fri Jul 04, 2014 7:46 am

Hi, :)

I like to deactivate keyboard while multiLine (mobileControlCreate "multiline", "content") stays on the screen.

I deactivated a keyboard by using "backKey" message in Android platform but I can't find a way to deactivate a keyboard in ios platform.. any suggestions??

Thanks for your time!

Louis

Hi Louis,

The multiline UI control is for entering, not for displaying data. Why don't you simply display data in a LiveCode list field?

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

I like to use Native multiline for both displaying and entering data. On Android, the keyboard deactivates itself if I touch other objects such as images or buttons located outer area of multiline. I haven't tried with iphone since I don't have Mac yet...Will keyboard behaviors same in ios? if yes, problem will be solved.


Cheers,


Louis
