iOS Question Setting the background color of B4XFloatTextField

[gmoriwaki]

I'm having trouble setting the color of the b4xfloattextfield. I created a sample program to show this. For some reason for a brief second, I can see the color, but is being overlayed by something. In the designer, I defaulted the background color to some other color than white and also tried setting the background color using code.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Use B4XFloatTextField1.TextField.Color = Colors.Red

Thanks Semen....I guess I was reading too much into it...too easy...Thanks a million...

Just for my knowledge, can you explain why the .textfield option worked versus the mbase.setcolorandborder option?

Thanks again.

The TextField background hides the base panel background.
