choose between regular mobile keyboard and numeric pad?

[harrisonpink]

Hi all,

I would love to be able to choose when the user clicks a text field between having the normal mobile keyboard pop up and the numeric keyboard. I know Unity has TouchScreenKeyboardType.NumberPad, but I know NGUI is using its own UIInput script.

Any help to get this working would be very appreciated!

Thanks.

UIInput.keyboardType lets you specify what kind of keyboard it will be.

Thank you for the info! I'm not sure where to actually execute this code though. Right now, when you tap a text box that accepts input, it automatically pops open the keyboard. Where should I add the code that specifies what type of keyboard it should be?

(Teaching myself programming is hard! Thank you for your assistance!)

It's set in inspector on the UIInput when you are targeting a mobile platform.

Is this something I can change on the fly? I'm making a quiz app and some questions are words and some are numbers.

Yes. GetComponent<UIInput>().keyboardType = ...
