Dan,
Thanks! I was fiddling with the lockText property earlier and it did not seem to work. The field does predictive typing. I discovered that keyDown and rawKeyDown messages are still sent even if lockText is true. I had to put this code at the top of both rawKeyDown and keyDown handlers to prevent data entry into the field..
if the lockText of me then
pass keyDown/rawKeyDown
end if
Still learning...

Ralph,
I had this same issue on a project. The problem is when the card/stack opens, LiveCode want to activate the first typable field it finds. If my old memory is correct, what I did was this:
on preOpenCard
set the lockText of fld "thisDarnField" to true
end preOpenCard
on openCard
send "doUnlockTheField" to this card in 1 tick //don't send this until everything is done loading (you could probably send this in the preOpenCard too) end openCard
on doUnlockTheField
set the lockText of fld "thisDarnField" to false end doUnlockTheField
Hope that helps and I hope it works! I hope my cobweb-ridden brain remembers this correctly!

I have a card with one focusable input field.
How can I keep the keyboard from opening until the user taps into the field?
I tried putting "focus on nothing"s in various places such as preopencard
and opencard with no success?
I think this has been discussed before. Was there ever a solution for both
iOS and Android?
Thanks
