Add color background to textinput

General
1

As the subject states, is there anyway to add a color to the background of a text input element? I know you can change the color of the text itself, but if possible…for what I’m working on, it would help if there was a way to add color to that type of element?

Thank you for any assistance!

A quick way, for a simple background, is to set the Background property on the TextInput, such as <TextInput Background="0.5,0.5,0.5,1"/>

Quite often that isn’t flexible enough, so you can simply wrap the TextInput in another panel and add whatever kind of background you want:

<Panel Padding="5">
    <TextInput .../>
    <Rectangle CornerRadius="5" Layer="Background" Color="0.5,0.5,0.5,1"/>
</Panel>

You might look to using the TextEdit control if you need to fully style the text inputs in your app. It’s basically just the TextInput wihtout any standard visual decoration.
