I have a Zebra TC8300 scanner that has an enterprise keyboard. On initial show of the keyboard it shows Alpha keys. User has to slide the keyboard to get to the numeric keypad. I have an Autocomplete text box on a dialog. It has a threshold of 2. The cycle is, Once the threshold is reached, I dismiss the keyboard, call a backend API, display the results in the dropdown, set the threshold to the current length of the text box and then display the keyboard. Dismissing the keyboard is done so the user does not continue entering until the results of the API are returned. The 'issue' is the user is complaining that, if he is entering numbers, once the cycle completes, they see Alpha keys. They want the keypad to stay on the numeric so they can continue entering digits until they desire to enter alpha. Crazy, but that's what they want. I can't set the inputtype because that removes the option of going back to alpha keys once you set numeric. Any Ideas?
