Ask/Cancel in iOS
Greetings! I am having a problem with the ask command in iOS. If I do this: ask password Enter Something titled Anything and tap the Cancel button, the result is cancel. However, if I use the same line of code and enter nothing in the prompt field, then tap the OK button, the result still equals cancel. Seems like as long as the user response is empty, the result is cancel. How do you determine a empty response from a request to cancel?

Re: Ask/Cancel in iOS
Klaus, That doesn't tell me if they canceled or entered nothing. Perhaps they want to set their password to empty? How do I know if they entered nothing, or they hit Cancel?

Re: Ask/Cancel in iOS
IT contains the encrypted contents of what they entered. If they cancel, IT will be empty and The Result will contain Cancel. It's kind of convoluted. It's all in the dictionary. I do this: ask password Please enter your password: if the result is Cancel then exit handler put it into thePassword Bob On Feb 3, 2012, at 1:54 PM, Dan Friedman wrote: Klaus, That doesn't tell me if they canceled or entered nothing.

Re: Ask/Cancel in iOS
There's still a problem though if the user leaves the field empty but still taps OK. In that case, as Dan is saying, the result returns cancel, which is not correct. I could be wrong, but it seems like this was brought up not too long ago and submitted as a bug. I believe the result should return empty if the user clicks on OK. I'll see if I can find it in the QCC.

Re: Ask/Cancel in iOS
Yes. Issue #9970. It has been confirmed. All we can do is wait for a fix. Not sure if there's any kind of workaround or not.

Re: Ask/Cancel in iOS
This is not true. I just tested this scenario and the result is empty.

Re: Ask/Cancel in iOS
Non issue. It doesn't work that way. Perhaps they fixed it already? I am running 5.02. Bob On Feb 3, 2012, at 2:17 PM, Chris Sheffield wrote: Yes. Issue #9970. It has been confirmed.

OIC my bad. Only tested it on a desktop. How odd that the iOS works differently! That is unsettling. Bob On Feb 3, 2012, at 2:40 PM, Chris Sheffield wrote: Desktop or iOS?
