How can I use keyboard without that white square?? [import]uid: 23063 topic_id: 18181 reply_id: 318181[/import]

That “white square” is a field for text input - so at this time, no. Sorry!

Hey there,

As far as I can tell they do have this field, they’ve just made the alpha 0.1.

So make a field like this; http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/nativenewtextfield

Then set the alpha at 0.1. It will still show a shape but it will be much, much dimmer - still not invisible, though.

There’s a possibility they’re using Text Candy, or have written their own alternative. (Link: http://www.x-pressive.com/TextCandy_Corona/reference.html )

You could always ask them how they achieved it or use premium support for custom code.

I havent actually looked at this santa app your on about, but theres a chance they are using a native.newTextBox.

If you make that editable using…

object.isEditable = true

and then make its background invisible…

object.hasBackground = false

then that may give you the desired effect. [import]uid: 69826 topic_id: 18181 reply_id: 69688[/import]

another question about keyboards…

keyboardHandler = function(event)  
 if event.phase == "began" then  
 LloginField.text = ""  
  
 elseif event.phase == "submitted" then  
 native.setkeyboardFocus( nil )  
 end  
 end  
  
  
  
 LloginField = native.newTextField( \_W/2 + 55, 180, 235, 40, keyboardHandler )  
 LloginField.font = native.newFont( nil, 25 )  
 LloginField.text = "UserName Here"  
 LloginField.inputType = "email"  
 LloginField:setTextColor( 0, 84, 166 )  
 g:insert( LloginField )

why when I open keyboard the LlogindField.text don’t change to “”?
