how to disable keyboard input

[thejkfarr]

I hope this is an easy question.

I have written a filemaker go app for the iPhone and my clients don't want the keyboard on the iPhone to pop up when an end user clicks a field.

something like "only allow drop down list" but no keyboard.

this possible?

HI.

I've been fighting with the same problem, but I think I found a solution.

Put a trigger (on object modify) on the pop field with a script that:

- commit the record

- halt the script

The "halt" script seems to work on avoiding the keyboard to come back.

Alternatively, instead of the 'halt' script step, I just include a Goto Object step, and point it to a named button or other named object on the current layout. This stops the keyboard from popping up as well.

the easiest way is to use the layout inspector and uncheck field entry / browse mode for all the fields that are not dropdown menu
