As per documentation, We are using below code to avoid emoji’s input. But it is not working.
textBox = native.newTextBox(0,15, 502, 70 );
textBox.hasBackground = false
textBox.font= native.newFont( “HelveticaLT”, 18);
textBox.inputType =“no-emoji”
textBox.isEditable= true;
Can you please help us on how to avoid emoji’s chars for textbox?
Thank you.
I dont think you can but I came across some info the other day regarding have to handle them/remove them in code.
I think it had to do with codepage, but alas I do not remember where I saw it.
Sometimes it may be worth extracting the characters you allow from a string instead of removing the ones you dont.
A quick search dug up this one from Rob, maybe it will point you in the right direction.

I would recommend looking the sample app Interface/NativeKeyboard since it supports the no-emoji mode.

As far as I know the inputType =“no-emoji” only works for text fields and not text boxes.
I forgot to document the feature but with this plugin: https://marketplace.coronalabs.com/plugin/keyboard-events
You can remove the emoji option from the keyboard by calling:
keyboardEvents.setKeyboardTypeASCIICapable(true)
Do the call after creating the text box.
Excellent! It works perfectly. Thank you for your support
