How can I make it so that when a user navigates to EditScreen1 it automatically is set up so that TextInput2 is being edited? To clarify, I am going to have an RFID reader enter a string of numbers when a badge is scanned and I need TextInput2 to be ready to receive this string OnVisible.
You could use a context variable that you pass as you navigate the screen:
Navigate(EditScreen1,fade,{loc_displaymode:DisplayMode.Edit})
When you have finished your data input, you can update this variable again with the UpdateContext() function.
UpdateContext({loc_displaymode:DisplayMode.Disabled})
I am still confused, could you please explain further? So when I click a button on a separate screen which has value Navigate(EditForm1), I should change that to Navigate(EditScreen1, {loc_displaymode:DisplayMode.Edit})? How would this make TextInput2 edited? Then, where would I put the function UpdateContext({loc_displaymode:DisplayMode.Disabled})? I want the text field to stop being edited after a certain number of characters. Where would I put an if statement to that effect?
update, I had to use setfocus()
