TextInput Class Auto Height - How?

How-to Discussions

Hi guys,

I have a question.

Is there a way for the TextInput Class to expand in height automatically based on user input. It should be similar in functionality like writing a comment in either Whatsapp or Facebook. As soon as I reach the end of the textinput field I want to add some extra height for a new line. I want people to see the complete comment they are typing.

Hope someone can help me out. :slight_smile:

Cheers

Hi Melvin,

and yeah. Use TextView instead.

Thanks for the quick reply!
In order to have some placeholder text I can just work with WhileString and a regular Text element right?

Correct. And you could use WhileContainsText trigger to change the visibility of the placeholder visual.
