Hi,
I use a text field which displays a pop-up menu on the mouse-down trigger to fill the field : this is OK.
Now, I need the user to not being able to delete nor to enter any character in the field, how can I prevent that ?
I guess that I need a custom keystroke script, so I tried it… but all my trials also prevent any input from the popup menu…
Can someone show me the right way?
Please.

Make the text field read-only, place a transparent button on top, and place the popupmenu code in the Mouse Up or Down event of the button.

Thanks for your help,
in fact it's a little bit more complex task, sometimes I need the field to be pop-up only, and sometimes I need the field to be fillable.
Because some fields are reliant from other:
- field1 : user select ITEM1 => field2 value : ITEM-a => field3 value : free user input
- field1 : user select ITEM2 => field2 value : ITEM-b => field3 value : item-y
- field1 : user select ITEM3 => field2 value : free user input => field3 value : free user input
- and so on.
I didn't really care to prevent deleting, but I really need to prevent keyboard input.
Any ideas ?

Hmmm...I'm not sure I understand how you have it set up, but you'll have to find a way to test via JavaScript whether the field should be fillable or not. The custom Keystroke script could then set event.rc to false if the field should not be fillable.
