Hide Keyboard in vl-web

[kno_dk]

HI.

I am creating an VL-web (V15) app. It is a barcode app running on an androide scanner device.

It works okay but when i set focus to the field where they have to scan - the keyboard appears on the screen.

Is it possible to remove the keyboard pop-up?

Hi Klaus,

This is how these devices behaves but it could be that you have an instruction to tell the device to close the keyboard.

We over here created several apps and in this situation, we use a VL dialog. This is a limited size screen, where, if the keyboard appears, it will not be presented over your input. It show the dialog together with the mobile keyboard.

Will that be a solution for you probably?

Kind regards,
René

My users on iPad and a bluetooth scanner have the room to view the prompt and the keyboard but they have to close the keyboard before they can scan.

I would like to hide the keyboard as well.

Hi Rene.

Could you post an example of the code.

My application should show a list of items to be picked. The list is ordered by the stock location. Above the list I would like an input field where the user can scan the barcode of an item. If the barcode/item are in the list I would like the dialog where the user can type in the quantity.
But if i have this input field in the top and i set focus then the keyboard popups. I would like to control on the field level if the kyeboard should be disabled.
