  Testing Spread on IOS 8. Noticing that even though we have locked the sheet, when we click on a cell it goes into edit mode (virtual keyboard appears). It does not let us edit, but we would love a way to prevent the keyboard from appearing. Are we screwing up the lock or is there another editable mode we should be exploring?

  Hello,

  I am not able to replicate this issue on iphone with iOS8.1 using the sample attached with latest build. Please test the same at your end and let me know in case the issue still persists.

  Thanks,

  We figured out the issue. We were using 2014 release 2. Upgrading to R3 solved the issue.

  OK, I think our issue has flopped from IOS to Android. With the latest release, we notice that IOS 8.1 behaves as expected, but now on Android devices, the first click in a cell is bringing up the keyboard. This makes browsing a sheet on a tablet or phone very difficult. We also notice the same behavior on the demo apps on your site. Currently testing on Android 4.4 Nexus 7.

  Hello Manpreet,

  because software keyboard popups is very annoying on any mobile device (Android, IOS, windows8), a begin of solution have been given at this topic but this concerns only Wijmo.

  http://wijmo.com/topic/how-to-deactivate-the-keyboard/

  Is it possible to implement a readonly feature on input cells with any event ?

  Its a shame that lock cell instruction dont implement this feature.

  Cordialement, Marc

  Hello,

  Currently, the only way to make the cells is read only is to make the cells locked. However, I could observe that the keyboard pops up even for the locked cells.

  I have forwarded your concerns to the development team. I have requested them to take the issue on a high priority and provide us a workaround if possible.

  I would let you know as soon as we get any information in this regard. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused.

  Thanks,
  
  Manpreet Kaur

  Interested in hearing when this gets solved. Until then I added this(the keyboard pops up for a second then goes away, not great but better than nothing):

  
  sheet.bind(GC.Spread.Sheets.Events.CellClick, function (data, info) {
      if (sheet.editorStatus() === 0 && $('textarea[gcuielement="gcSheetFocusInput"]:focus')) {
          setTimeout(() => {
              $('textarea[gcuielement="gcSheetFocusInput"]:focus').blur();
          }, 250);
      }
  });
