Disable keyboard on specific data fields

[Clark Brown]

Is there a way on a dataform to disable pop up keyboard on certain fields ? We have fields where we are using a keybaord wedge to scan barcode and populate the field and we don't want the keyboard available on that field

#Regarding Disable keyboard on specific data fields 

We have checked the reported query from our end. Your requirement can be achieved with help of custom DataFormTextEditor. Inside the CustomDataFormTextEditor, you can disable the keyboard by setting ShowSoftInputOnFocus property as False. Please refer to the following code snippet for your reference. 

 

Code snippet 

  dataForm.RegisterEditor("Text", new DataFormTextEditorExt(dataForm));
..
..
public class DataFormTextEditorExt : DataFormTextEditor 

{ 

    public DataFormTextEditorExt(SfDataForm dataForm) : base(dataForm) 

    { 

 

    } 

 

    protected override void OnInitializeView(DataFormItem dataFormItem, EditText view) 

    { 

        view.ShowSoftInputOnFocus = false; 

        base.OnInitializeView(dataFormItem, view); 

    } 

} 

 

Please refer to the tested sample in the following locations,
