For barcode scanners it is unwanted that the on-screen keyboards popups once the barcode field gets the focus. This is possible by making the barcode field a combo lookup field so that the DisableKeyboardForAutoCompleteCombo setting will disable the on-screen keyboard. This has the negative side effect that the Universal GUI will load/show all possible barcodes in the combo field once the field gets focus. The Universal GUI needs quite some time for this when there are thousands of possible values in the combobox which creates a serious performance issue. It doesn't seem possible to limit the amount of values that are shown (it doesn’t respond to the ‘max no of records’ setting in the source table).

 

Therefor we would like a different option to disable the on-screen keyboard for certain fields without needing it to be a combo field. For example when the field is using a domain with the ‘Barcode scanner’ control.

@PeterKeeris You earlier raised a TCP ticket for this topic already, see:

Contrary to the comment of @Erik Brink in that topic, I don’t believe it is resolved yet. We intent to work on the ticket during the next Universal sprint.

Is there a particular reason you are now raising an Idea?

 

You're right Arie. I thought that we only spoke about this in our conversation a few weeks ago and that it wasn't posted yet because I couldn't find it in my community topics. 

This came up again because we added more data which created the performance issue with the combo box. So great that this is planned for the next sprint.
