gpCI:insert(imgTest)
function onFirstName( event )
if (“began” == event.phase ) then
elseif (“submitted” == event.phase ) then
native.setKeyboardFocus( lastNameField )
end
end

function onLastName( event )
if (“began” == event.phase ) then

native.setKeyboardFocus( firstNameField )
end
end

also can not get native.newTextBox to receive focus

here is the updated code to include native.newTextBox

[blockcode]
local scrollView = require(“scrollView”)
local scrollView = scrollView.new{ top = 0, bottom = 0 }

local gpCI = display.newGroup()
scrollView:insert(gpCI)
local imgTest = display.newRect(0,0,240,960)
imgTest.rotation = 10
imgTest:setFillColor( 235, 10, 157 )
gpCI:insert(imgTest)
function onFirstName( event )
if (“began” == event.phase ) then
elseif (“submitted” == event.phase ) then
native.setKeyboardFocus( lastNameField )
end
end

function onLastName( event )
if (“began” == event.phase ) then
elseif (“submitted” == event.phase ) then
native.setKeyboardFocus( noteField )
end
end

function onNote(event)
if (“began” == event.phase ) then
elseif (“submitted” == event.phase ) then
native.setKeyboardFocus( nil )
end
end
firstNameField = native.newTextField( 56, 79, 208, 32, onFirstName )
firstNameField.font = native.newFont( native.systemFontBold, 24 )
firstNameField.text = “”
firstNameField.inputType = “default”
firstNameField:setTextColor( 0, 0, 0 )
gpCI:insert(1, firstNameField)

lastNameField = native.newTextField( 56, 127, 208, 32, onLastName )
lastNameField.font = native.newFont( native.systemFontBold, 24 )
lastNameField.text = “”
lastNameField.inputType = “default”
lastNameField:setTextColor( 0, 0, 0 )
gpCI:insert(2, lastNameField)

noteField = native.newTextBox( 56, 175, 208, 96, onNote)
noteField.text = “”
noteField:setTextColor(0, 0, 0 )
noteField.inputType = “default”
noteField.font = native.newFont( native.systemFontBold, 24 )

#3

native.newTextBox is a display-only text box and cannot receive text. Our API page was wrong and has since been fixed. Only native.newTextField can receive text input.

I’m still looking at the group problem and will let you know what I find.

Thanks,

Thanks Tom I kinda figured the textbox might have been display only but the API said different so that’s why I asked and it wasn’t a problem I could just make my textfield bigger but I do need to insert the textfields into a group so I can scroll through all of the textfields I could just build with 109 if the server is still allowing it when I’m done except for the fact that I also need the mapkit

Thanks for the response and I’ll be waiting [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 4595 reply_id: 14622[/import]

#5

I just confirmed that there is a problem with native.textField and native.textBox objects when added to a group. This was working in build #148 but broken in #243. I created bug #2527 for tracking.

I don’t know a work-around for the scrolling you’re trying to do.

It’s not fixed yet. It’s still on the list for a fix. You can monitor our daily builds (if you are a subscriber) for bug fixes and new features. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 4595 reply_id: 25987[/import]

#11

Thanks for the update Tom. I am a subscriber so I will continue to watch for it in the daily builds. Hope it is soon. This is a show stopper for the project I am on.
