iOS input field

[Ralph DiMola]

On Android it is on top. On iOS it is on the bottom(another x-platform
got-yah Tom, add to your list). I set the appropriate field control colors
when I'm not in development mode to hide the LC field control(thanks to
Jacque for the dev function) except for the border in my case. Don't need to
do it for Android but I wanted one code base so I do it for both Android and
iOS. I also put the native input control's data into the LC field object and
use the field control for examining/processing the inputted data. This makes
testing in development easy. Like you I make the native control name the
same as the LC field control. This makes handlers in either a library or a
behavior generic.

Subject: iOS input field

Hey guys. I'm using the iOS input field and the following code...


*if* gIsMobile *then*

      *--> SET UP NATIVE CONTROLS*

      *--> USERNAME FLD*

      *answer* the rect of fld "fldUsername"

      mobileControlCreate "input","mUsername"

      mobileControlSet "mUsername","rect",the rect of fld "fldUsername"

      mobileControlSet "mUsername","visible","true"

      mobileControlSet "mUsername","fontSize","22"

end if


But the native input field is NOT on top of the fld "fldUsername" (which is
disabled) but is many pixels below. Anyone know why this is?

This happens on my device, but displays properly in the simulator. Both
devices are Retina devices. Thanks for any help.

I'm using LC 5.5.4

Would it be better to use 6.0?
