Single Line ios Edit box common problem

[StingRay]

Hi!

I've created a sheet, where the user have to fill out his name, street, city, phone number, ...
for an order. Please take a look at the attached screenshot:

First, I used Single Line iOS Objects. If the user tabs into a Edit box on the bottom area, the
total screen scrolls down to keep the overall look of the sheet. It works well, till the user tabs
after writing in one edit box, into another. (because i cant get the information, if the edit box
is in 'focus'/editing mode)

i can do:

set flag off if --> leaves the ios edit box
set flag on if --> enters the ios edit box

if flag off = scroll up
if flag on = scroll down

BUT, if the user directly jumps into another ios edit box in the bottom area, it is forced to scroll up. (Leave --> Flag OFF)

I can do this easily with the normal edit box (I've done this), BUT: The normal edit box always scrolls automatically up to center of screen if in editing mode on iOS device.

i hope my problem is well described and you could help me here.

btw: i could get around this, by disable every other ios edit box. but then the sheet will always scroll up after editing, and i wanna most comfort for the user.

thanks for your help!

Sorry to bump, but i havent found a Solution for this

Not sure if it helps, but the iOS Single Line Editbox has an option to turn off the Automatic Scrolling - perhaps you could then code your own scrolling solution?

[StingRay]

yes, i've done that

but, how to make this scrolling work, if the user tabs into another ios single line edit box OR if he just confirm with the virtal keyboard.

if he confirm --> the screen should scroll up
if he tabs into an other single line ios edit box --> screen should stay.

the problem: in both cases "quits edit mode" is TRUE.

You have two conditions you could use for single line edit boxes : Enter edit mode / Quit edit mode.
Why Don't you test both, and set a flag for each edit box. This will be equivalent to having a "Box has focus" condition.

Edit box "A" enters edit mode
Set alterable value A of "A" to 1
Edit box "A" quits edit mode
Set alterable value A of "A" to 0
