ios auto shift key lock

I've noted that the iOS keyboard will automatically set the keyboard to capitalize when entiring text for the first time. How do I turn this auto shift lock off?

Hi Scott,
This is currently impossible with standard LiveCode fields. However, you have two options.
You can use the toLower function after the user has entered the text:
or you can use a UITextField, which has am autoCapitalization property. If you set this property to false, the first character won't be capitalised automatically.
Kind regards,
Mark

I read the lesson on UITextField...my brain hurts. This isn't actually a field, or is it? I saw another post from Dixie saying that it "floats above" LC? Can anyone take a stab at helping me understand this?

teacherguy..
I have attached a stack that has a UITextField in it. I have commented the script, which is in the card script. The UITextfield is described on page 57 of the iOS release notes.
hope this helps,
Dixie

Ah! OK, so let me see if these assertions are correct:
The UITextField is something that exists in iOS, not Livecode
The rectangle graphic is really just for the user, there is no interaction between it and the UITextField
