questions about textbox datatype/keyboard

Post by MegumiSawada »

Hi,

I'm sorry to ask very basic questions about textbox datatype/keyboard.

1.
On iPad, for the textbox whose datatype is Number,the numeric keyboard is shown.
On that keyboard, some keys which cannot be entered to the textbox are shown(e.g. ()@).
Is there any way to stop showing these keys? (we know the values won't be entered to the textbox evenif we tap these keys though.)

2.
On iPhone, if datatype of textbox is Number/Integer, "-"and "+" keys are not displayed on the keyboard. Is there any way to show these keys or switch to other keyboard by operation?

Also, on iPhone, if datatype of textbox is Phone, "("and ")" keys are not displayed on the keyboard. Is there any way to show these keys or switch to other keyboard by operation?

On the guide, it's written:
Number
Accepts only digits, decimal separator, and plus minus signs. Initial keyboard shows numbers.

Integer
Accepts only digits and plus minus signs. Initial keyboard shows numbers.

Phone
Accepts digits, plus sign, dash, open & close bracket. Initial keyboard shows numbers.

It seems no way to switch to other keyboad from initial keyboard nor show plus/minus signs.

I appreciate your kind advice.

Hi Megumi,

1) There is no way to stop the keyboard from showing the non-numeric keys on iPad (iPads don't provide numeric only keyboard) - there is no plan in foreseeable future to do any enhancement in this area.

2 & 3) Can you log these with LANSA support so they can be actioned?
