    Hi!



    If you want to minimize the keyboard without triggering its return action you can:

    1) Touch some other non-textual control (which closely simulates a real user action to dismiss the keyboard)

    2) Call resignFirstResponder method of the text field (which effectively does the same thing as the first approach)



    Also, just for your information, if you will ever want to also trigger the return action - just

    add either "\r" or "\n" at the end of your input:



    myField.Keys("my input\r");

Hi Gindi,



Sorry about me not being clear enough. The "\r" and "\n" syntax of carriage return and line feed characters is specific for JScript. Your project is probably using some other language thus the syntax is different (for either script unit or KDT item). For example, in DelphiScript it will be like textField.Keys('qwerty'#10) and in VBScript - textField.Keys("qwerty"&Chr(10)).
