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...

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! -Dan On 6/23/20, 3:40 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Ralph DiMola via use-livecode" <use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com on behalf of use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: 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?
