B4J Question XUI: Enabled/Visible on B4XFloatTextField

[Fr Simon Rundell]

I am loving the XUI Library, but some of the opportunities the new controls offer also come with (perhaps unforseen) limitations.

Having a Password feature in a B4XFloatTextField is awesome, but I am surprised that I can no longer set this control as txtfield.Enabled=True so that I can lock it (it's on a config screen and I am using the 'click on a lock trope to enable config changes).

Has anyone got a way around this? (visible also isn't an option, I had thought of that) or might it be a feature request for the next library update?

Fr. S

B4A

Dim editfield As EditText = B4XFloatTextField1.TextField
    ' work with editfield; set it enabled, visible, whatever

B4J

Dim edit As TextField = B4XFloatTextField1.TextField

Thank you. Is that the definition in Process_Globals?
The IDE doesn't seem to approve...

NEVER do settings in Processglobal. ONLY declarations.

Get the edittext when you need it

You can do it directly with TextField:

B4XFloatTextField.TextField.Enabled = False
'to hide it:
B4XFloatTextField.mBase.Visible = False

XUI Views is not XUI library. They are two mostly unrelated libraries.

The custom views from XUI Views expose their internal views so you can customize them in many ways.
