Another iOS keyboard question - properties of the keyboard

I'm getting an iOS keyboard to come up by setting the lockText of a field to false when the user touches it - this is fine, up comes the keyboard. But the odd thing is that it appears set in 'caps lock' mode, with the shift key illuminated. This is one of several modes mentioned in the LC docs under 'iPhoneControlSet' (or mobileControlSet if you prefer). 

I would like to change this to one of the other modes (autoCapitalizationType "words"). However this applies to native controls which one has instantiated by script, whereas in this case the appearance of the keyboard was automatic so I have no access to its ID - do I? As I don't have an ID with which to reference the keyboard, so I can't alter its properties. Is there a solution to this?

TIA

Graham
