Customizing size of input field.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to customize the size of the input field so that it can resemble a text area. Can this be done by adjusting height and width of the input field properties. I tried random numbers 30/70, etc but the properties are always blank.

Any help is appreciated.

Kind Regards.

hi,

you want to costumise input field, that means you want to let user fill some value in that,

so go for TextEdit Ui element, here you can set its row and cols property to match your criteria , adjusting them can even make it look like input field,

The reason I am going for input field is that I need to request focus on a user action (bring cursor on the textedit UI element which is not possible with textedit).

Also I tried the TextView UI element, but still I cannot increase the height and width.

Can you guys tell me how to go about increasing the size of either input field or textview.

I am using the layoutdata as "MatrixHeadData"

Thanks all for your replies. Points rewarded

hi buddy,

as you are using matrix layout, you can set its width property in terms of %, .eg,

50%, 100% etc,

same way you can also set the property of input field in terms of %, try using it , it will work

Hi Abhijeet,

Thanks for your reply. I tried increasing the height to 100%. Even then its the same default. Although, I was able to increase the width successfully.

Can you tell me how to increase the height of the input field.

Thanks and Regards. Points rewarded.

Hi Srinivas,

You can change the size of the inputfield by setting the <b>size</b> Property.
