    Hi there

    I'm trying to display a custom keyboard on my iphone/android app.

    Since I can't use the iphone built-in keyboard, I thought the best way was to display a label like this:
    GUILayout.Label("my textfield content", "textfield");

    So it does look like a textfield but it's actually a label.

    The problem now is... how do I display my own keyboard when this label is clicked? Any other better way to achieve this?

    Regards,
    Joaquin

    Hey, thats really very fine. As I just want to say that I am using inbuilt key-board of my iPhone. The other ting is that I never think about this custom keyboard, but after reading your this of the post I really would like to say that I also want to know more about that. I really like your this of the idea.

    The problem with android is that the keyboard takes the whole screen space so it doesn't let you see anything happening in-game = not possible to create a chat system

    I'm able to do stuff now when someone clicks the label but I need a good custom keyboard, mine looks horrible. Any site or anyone that got one good looking?
