Try setting the traversalOn to false rather than using lockText, I seem to
remember that worked for the last iOS app that I made (quite a while ago now),
I’m sure it has been discussed here, probably several years ago, so I’m amazes
that I remembered it. :-)
I tested the script below in the simulator on a card with 5 fields and it
worked as expected.
CODE:
local sFields
on preOpenCard
put the number of fields on this card into sFields
repeat with x = 1 to sFields
set the traversalOn of fld x to false
end repeat
end preOpenCard
on openCard
## openCard stuff here
send "unlockAllFields" to this card in 2 ticks ## Last line of the
openCard handler
end openCard
on unlockAllFields
repeat with x = 1 to sFields
set the traversalOn of fld x to true
end repeat
end unlockAllFields
END CODE
Best of luck.
