UIInput without separate IOS input field

[cyx]

Hi, I'm pretty new to Unity and NGUI and I am wondering if its possible to disable the second native text field above the overlay ios keyboard when writing into a UILabel. I talking about typing with a real device, not in the game preview. I hope, you know what I mean...?

Try placing this somewhere "early" in your code.

1. TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput = true;

Sounded good, but unfortunately it's not working for the normal text UILabel/UIInput. Textarea is still coming up but hidden when UILabel is in password mode. Without the code, there is a smaller Textarea coming up for password as well. So it is working half / half. Any idea?

Just to be clear, you mean to disable that textfield thingy directly above the iOS keyboard like in the attachment, right?

exactly, the textfield which comes from the os when opening the keyboard with "cancel" and "done". its just confusing, if you have a textfield in your game and another one above your keyboard with the same content when writing, so I wanna switch that off.

That line of code i pasted previously should cause your keyboard to look like the one i attached. Haven't tried password mode though.

I added your code in a the panel script of UI Root in the Awake() methode, but nothing happens for the normal textinput field - so it's not looking like yours.

It needs to go into UIInput, not UIRoot. UIInput is what shows the keyboard.

The keyboard is opened on line 399 of UIInput.cs.

I tried that and added the line into UIInput before Line 399 and outside the if block as well, nothing happens. I can not remove this extra textfield... aargh. Don't know whats wrong.

Found a solution:

Setting max. lines for the textfield to 1 and not 0 helps. Switch works only for SINGLE LINE text fields.

Thanks anyway.
