UITextInput Multiline not opaque

Post by quailcreek » Thu May 07, 2015 4:12 am

Has anyone else run into this. The miltiline UITextInput control is not and will not go opaque. Is there a mobileControlSet for this? I tried "opaque",'"false" but noj-oy.

Ooppss,
Sorry. I printed out the part of the mobileComtrolSet in the DICTIONARY that talks about Text Input Specific Properties and I was looking at that. I see what you're talking about, Klaus. My bad!

Just to follow up. I'm not totally sure what "alpha" does. It seems to set an intensity. Anyway, I had to set the backgroundColor of the control to match the object behind to get things to look right. Thanks again, Klaus
