Move a native mobile text input control so it is not covered by keyboard
If you have a native mobile input control on your application that gets covered by the soft keyboard of your device/simulator, then you can use the following method to move the control into view when the keyboard is active and then return it to its original position when the keyboard is deactivated.

Create a new stack and implement a native input control
Create a native input control with the following card script:
local sinputId
on opencard
if environment() = "mobile" then
mobileControlCreate "input"
put the result into sinputID
mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "38,726,748,916"
mobileControlSet sinputID, "visible", "true"
mobileControlSet sinputID, "opaque", "true"
end if
end opencard
The initial rect of this control is set to the rect of the rectangle graphic that had been created.
Add code to move input control
The below handlers are mobile specific and are sent whenever a mobile keyboard is activated or deactivated. We can use these handlers to move the mobile input control to a desired location above the keyboard and then return it to its original position when the keyboard is deactivated.
on keyboardActivated
mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "36,320,746,510"
set the rect of graphic "rectangle" to "36,320,746,510"
end keyboardActivated
on keyboardDeactivated
mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "38,726,748,916"
set the rect of graphic "rectangle" to "38,726,748,916"
end keyboardDeactivated
Placing the above script after the openCard script, you will have:
local sinputId
on openCard
if environment() = "mobile" then
mobileControlCreate "input"
put the result into sinputID
mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "38,726,748,916"
mobileControlSet sinputID, "visible", "true"
mobileControlSet sinputID, "opaque", "true"
end if
end openCard
on keyboardActivated
mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "36,320,746,510"
set the rect of graphic "rectangle" to "36,320,746,510"
end keyboardActivated
on keyboardDeactivated
mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "38,726,748,916"
set the rect of graphic "rectangle" to "38,726,748,916"
end keyboardDeactivated
Launch on Device/Simulator

You should now see that when the keyboard is activated on a device/simulator, the input field moves appropriately.
Would this apply to a datagrid entry control as well?
