ZK Method setInputmode not found for class org.zkoss.zul.Textbox

Question

I am trying to set the HTML5 tag inputmode for the textboxes in order to have the right keyboard to showup on mobile devices but I get this error

Method setInputmode not found for class org.zkoss.zul.Textbox

when I add :

<component>
    <component-name>textbox</component-name>
    <extends>textbox</extends>
    <property>
        <property-name>inputmode</property-name>
        <property-value>search</property-value>
    </property>
</component>

in the lang-addon.xml

I am using Zk version 9

UPDATE : I seem to have missread the JavaDocs for TextBox and it does not support this method.

I there anyway to have a TextBox configured to open the right keyboard on mobile device in order to be able to trigger the OnOk() event ? Like maybe using native xmlns marker ? I tried and did not succeed...

thanks for your help !

Answer 1

The only component that has inputMode is org.zkoss.zhtml.Input. Textbox doesn't support that attribute, that's why you get the error. Where do you see that textbox supports the attribute?
