Wish [XUI Views] Add more feature

[rraswisak]

Hi all,

Floating text field is very interesting, so is it possible to add more feature to XUI Views Library, ie:

1. Multi line option for B4XFloatTextField
2. Set text alignment for B4XFloatTextField
2. B4XComboBox with Floating text field style

Thank you

1. Not sure that multiline support will add much. It will look strange to have a multiline field with a floating hint.

2.
This one is already possible:

B4XFloatTextField.TextField.SetTextAlignment(...)

Thanks for your reply,

if the point 1 is possible then i need to set the alignment to LEFT_TOP of the FloatingText (seting in designer not affect)

i was create this input data form with B4J:

It is efficient of using Floating text rather than add more label for field information

The Description field will required detail information which is need for multi-line data.

The combo box is quite okay, but if it can be same view with FloatingText was fantastic

    B4XFloatTextField1.TextField.SetTextAlignment("TOP","LEFT")

using above code generate this error:

My mistake. B4J TextField doesn't have a text alignment property.

You should do it like this:

CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty(B4XFloatTextField1.TextField, "-fx-alignment", "CENTER")

Note that it won't change the hint position.
