Yet another iOS keyboard question

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks Chris, traversalOn was the answer. Doesn't show up on the Property Inspector under its own name (I think it's called 'Focusable' which is perhaps slightly more meaningful, but different) and I forgot about it. The dictionary entry explains it well enough, but of course first one has to remember that traversalOn exists - 'focusable' isn't there.

Sorry to be dumb.

I noticed that lockText is true and traversalOn is true. Maybe start there? Otherwise, maybe compare the properties of your field to those of the default to make sure they're the same.

I am just trying to use the lines of the list as links, so I don't need to keyboard anything. I can check if a keyboard  is activated (there is a message for this), but there is no available action to deactivate it AFAICS, apart from changing the focus on my field, which I obviously don't want to do.
