B4J Question B4XPreferencesDialog, multiline text

[stevetheframe]

I'm trying to build the JSON file with FormBuilder (1.66)
One of the sections I want is "Multilinetext", but even though I put the height (say 100dip) in the options field nothing seems appear.
I've looked at the documentation and cannot find an example of "Multilinetext" used.
Any help would be appreciated.

FormBuilder? The tool which creates the old - deprecated - Layouts?

The suggested way is to use the internal Designer.

Thanks. Didn't know that. Don't what I'd do without this forum!

I think he's talking about this FormBuilder

What do you get when you press the computer button to test de layout?

Ohh, this one. I saw the annuncement but never tested it ;-)
I thought he was asking about the old fx Scene Builder (or what name the tool had)..

Yep. that's the one.
As you can see from the screenshot, the 2 text fields are ok, but the bottom multiline is not there (the height is set to 100dip).

Hum. I've made your layout, and it's working fine. Attached the json, open it.
What I don't understand is where you set the height to 100dip...

That's just what I wanted.
However my Formsbuilder produces the same json file as yours, but doesn't show the multiline text.
The height is set in the options box (hidden under the dialog) , though I didn't set it for the attached file.

I see your form rigth too.

I can't find it.

Don't know what can be happening. Do you get the same with the compiled FormBuilder's .jar, and compiling it from the B4J project?

Thanks for looking.
I've attached a screenshot from the project.
As can be seen the multi-line text doesn't appear. I'm using the same json file as your "Text.zip"

The height is set in the options field:

Are you using the B4XPreferenceDialog v1.71?

That must be it _ I just looked at the library, it's 1.4.
Thanks everyone.
