Hi Lars,
happy that you found iphoneUseDeviceResolution :-)

So,
about iOS scrolling, see this discussion on the forum : 
http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=13141 ...

about the keyboard ... nothing in iOS is automatic... you have to do 
manually, eg. grouping the controls and moving up/down the group 
following the keyboard status ...

I have a scrolling list field which when the desired line is reached, mouseUp on it performs the desired operation. I found the iosScroller keyword and the BeginDecelerate and EndDecelerate, but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to implement them!

But in every app I have ever seen if the active field is at the bottom of the app, the entire app slides up, so the keyboard does not prevent you from seeing what you are typing. But it's not automatic. Does anyone know how to do this?
