Focus on field when clicked.

Post by Googie85 » Sun Mar 02, 2025 2:04 am

Hi Guys!!

I am trying to display a keyboard when the field "Test" is clicked. I have tried "on FocusIn" and "on OpenField", with no results. When the selected message is generated, I will use "focus on field "Test".

I hope I have explained myself clearly!

Thanks for any and all assistance!

Googie.

It should just work automatically. Is the field editable?

Presumably this refers to iOS and Android development?

Is there a way to bring up an on-screen keyboard with a desktop operating screen, or would that involve 'faking it' with a palette stack?

Android presumably since we're in the Android Deployment forum. I'm not aware of any on-screen keyboard for desktop that isn't custom-made.
