Hi,
Please note that the development is focused on running in iPhone with a 5.5" screen.
I have a query regarding the property DropDownMode. I am using this property depending on the location of the drop down control on the screen. If this control is placed in the top of the screen then I use the property “BelowOrAbove” since the dropdown will be visible above the keyboard and if the control is placed in the lower half of the screen then it makes sense to use the property “AboveOrBelow”. This works fine but I would like to know if it can detect that the keyboard pops up when the control gets focused and if the dropdown displays behind the keyboard, then the display will shift from BelowOrAbove to Above automatically.
Currently I am testing the layout of the application on the iPhone with a 5.5" display and if the visibility of the dropdown is blocked then I set the property to “ForceAbove”. Please let me know if there is any way to make this mechanism easy based on the position of the control on the screen with respect to the popping up of the keyboard when it gets focus.
I have also noticed that when using a plain text box at the end of the screen, the scrolling shifts the screen in such a way so that the text box can be seen and text entered. But when using the autocomplete control, it does not behave that way and is blocked by the keyboard. Please let me know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks,
Rajesh
