Locking an ios text input with mobilecontrolset

[peramangk]

I've tried locking both an input and a multiline with -
mobileControlSet scrollidStudents, "enabled", false
mobileControlSet scrollidStudents, "editable", false
but they are still editable.
They need to be locked most of the time to avoid accidental changes, but still need to be viewable.
Apart from this, they are behaving as expected.

What am I missing?

I use this in a current project:

Code: Select all

 mobileControlSet hMultilineControlD, "editable", "false"

Works fine.

Are you sure that the script your example code is from has access to the scrollidStudents variable?

I have a button on the same card as the mobile control.
It acts as a toggle for lock/unlock, containing a script to make the scroller editable/not editable (and a few other things).
I would have thought that the button has access to the properties of the scroller.

Hi permangk,

how and wehre did you define the ID of the new native control "hMultilineControlD"?
All scripts that will modify that native control need to have access to that variable "hMultilineControlD".

I guess that you create the scroll on "preopencard", so the handler of your button does probably not have access to that variable!

The id is declared as a global on the card script and the button script.
The scroller is created on openCard.

Aha, well, then it SHOULD work

Maybe you can post your button script?

[peramangk]

You are perfectly right Klaus - it should work and now it does work.
There was a fault in the line preceding the mobilecontrolset, so the mobilecontrolset was never called.
My apologies and thank you very much for your help.
