iPad Keyboard and List Controls

Post by jyoung »

We are targeting mobile devices, specifically iPads and iPhones for our web app.
One of the odd behaviors we are experiencing is that whenever a list item is clicked the device keyboard opens.
There is no text to enter or anything that would require a keyboard, we just intercept the ItemClick event and show another panel.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas on how to stop it?

Hi Joe

A keyboard should only pop up if a column takes input, so make sure ColumnReadonly is True.

That said, I recall a bug along these lines some time ago, but I thought it fixed.

Do you have the latest and greatest?

We have 14.1.0 (build 4138).
Did not know about the ColumnReadonly setting. Will try that and get back to you.

There are two ReadOnly settings for a List Column.
ColumnReadOnly and ReadOnly.

ColumnReadOnly was already checked, ReadOnly was not.

Checking ReadOnly solved the issue.

Experiencing the same behavior in a DropDownList.
The DropDownStyle is DropDownList so no edits should be allowed.

Setting it to ReadOnly does not work.

This issue is corrected in EPC141011

0157058 Read Only web List is input capable on iOS devices

This defect has now been rectified

Regardless of the number of readonly settings the issue was that ipad behavior was different from the browser.
