Does anybody know if it's possible to slide open the keyboard, but keep the screen locked?

I couldn't find any settings connected to this, but even when the keyboard would slide (just a little), the phone would automatically turn on and unlock. I want to prevent that from happening.

Thanks in advance.
 
I believe if you go into settings/location&Security/set unlock pattern then you'd have to do the unlock pattern before the screen will allow you to maneuver around once the keyboard is opened.

Yeah, I was afraid that might be the only option. I was actually hoping not to have to do that. Thanks for responding though.
