Hi Mike, In my limited use of the native field on mobile, I have come across some key features. First, when you create the field, I would recommend creating each one in a separate control, like a desktop field to be used as a place holder. Here's the reason: inputBeginEditing inputTextChanged

How do I figure out which native mobilc field has the focus (or if no native field does)? A field doesn't lose the focus when you do other things like hit buttons, or throw up pick lists, which can make it tricky to deal with fields that have updated values. focusedObject() doesn't seem to work a

I think it's worth pointing pout that the faster operation of repeat for only applies if you're referencing Livecode chunks in the loop. For example, if you have a numerically keyed array, there's nothing wrong with: put the extents of tArray into tExtents repeat with x= item 1 of tExtents to ite
