Hi all,

I have a fld “search” in cd “homepage” and whenever I start the app, the focus is always on fld “search”. I tried putting focus on nothing at the start and end of the preopencard handler but it still doesn’t work. Any idea why?

Thanks!

Hi Eddie,

Did you tried to move it in the opencard handler?

If you put 'focus on nothing' in the preOpenCard handler it probably doesn't understand it,
or at least that command has "come and gone" before the card opens, at which point the default focus is put in place.

Hi!

I tried putting the focus on nothing codes at the start and end of my opencard handler but whenever the app starts, the keyboard still shows up like its focused on some fld.

Thanks !

This is a long-standing issue. There are workarounds:

Mainly you need to turn off traversalOn in preopencard and send a message to turn it back on after the card loads. There's a link to a discussion at the bottom of the bug report.
