I want to add the clear button on the TextField like so:
<TextField clearButtonMode-"Titanium.UI.INPUT_BUTTONMODE_ALWAYS" backgroundColor="black"/>
The clear button usually looks like this:
However the issue is that the background of the TextInput is black. This means the clear button cannot be seen.
How can I change the appearance or colour of the clear button so this is not an issue?
I know that it should work but if its an ti sdk issue then you should try to test it with other ti sdks.
If you find same issue then you can file a JIRA issue with test app and then you can use rightButton property to achieve what you want.

To be completely honest man. you could just add a view inside the textField. I think its bit more efficient anyways and if you code by percentages as long as your border radius is more then half the height it will be circle.

I'm trying to make an UITabBarController like this:
No matter the device width (whether it is rotated or not) the buttons should not be stretched and the leftover space should be on the right side.
My questions:
Is this possible with the UITabBarController?
For the whitelines inbetween the buttons I am planning to use an unclickable UITabBarItem with an image. Is this the best way to do this?
With this tutorial that I followed I am getting this result:
2 problems here ^, whilst my background.png is 320x49, the selected image (68x49) has padding. This should not happen, both pictures have the same height?
The second problem is that the button/image has trailing space, and I want it sticked to the left side, as in my first screenshot. How would I accomplish this?
I don't expect anyone to post code, just merely a push in the right direction as I'm totally lost on this.
Check this library, you can customize the UI in interface builder with consstraints and get what you want.
I am trying to put a background image into a text-field (it's just a search icon). And it is tiling the image in the text field. Is it possible to turn off the repeating of the image? i don't see anything like that, i'm seeing padding and position for background images but nothing to turn off the tiling of the image. is this not possible in pixate yet?
thanks!
You should be able to set background-size to the size of your text-field so it won't have anything to repeat.
I battled this same problem, and in the end, I found I got what I wanted by using multiple objects. Even if you get the search icon to work right, you're probably going to notice the UITextField doesn't pad the text away from the icon.
Anyway, here's how I ended up doing it so that I had full control over the style.
So you can put your search icon in the UIImageView and then define your text field's style (border, background color, etc.) with the UIView. The UITextField ends up being plain white/transparent, and positioned so that its text doesn't overrun the search icon.
I hope that helps.
I have some NSButtons of style Round Textured inserted into an NSToolbar.
I have created some custom images for the buttons and would like to make them vertically bigger, however the height field for the button is greyed out.
Anyone got any ideas why, and if there is a way around it?
Thanks

From NSButtonCell Class Reference
NSTexturedRoundedBezelStyle The height of this button is fixed.
You can use NSTexturedSquareBezelStyle Bezel Styles
You have to uncheck Bordered in the latest version of XCode
I am trying to implement a control to edit text that will display the text in multiple colors. None of the solutions I have attempted yet have been good enough.
UITextView cannot accomplish this. All of the text must be the same color.
Using CoreGraphics to draw the text does not allow the text to be selected.
Using a UIWebView, DIV and PRE tags cannot be set to contentEditable on Mobile Safari.
Currently playing with using an off-screen TEXTAREA and an on-screen DIV to show the rendered text. This works pretty well, except supporting all of these at the same time seems impossible: click-to-type, click-to-move-cursor, click-and-hold-select/copy/paste.
Anyone have any tips on this predicament?
I've been trying to find any preexisting library out there that will accomplish this in a good way, to no luck. I'm open to any ideas!
Well, just pulling an idea out of my... let's say hat.
Could you put a transparent UITextfield over a view that draws the text? If the background was clear and the text color was clear the user could not perceive it but it should still respond to all commands. As the user enters and edits text you could draw the results on the view underneath.
I think the selection would work without any modification at all. When the user selected the clear text, it should create the illusion of selecting the drawn text automatically.
Like this one? StyledText http://three20.info/gfx/overview/styledtext.png It's in Three20 .
Here is an idea. I have no idea if it would work.
If you are only using colors, and not styles, the a UIWebView with colored text might layout text in exactly the same way as a UITextView. You could put a UITextView with invisible ink (text and background fully transparent) over a UIWebView and mirror the contents with colors in the html. I assume you can do scrolling with javascript along with the colored layout.
We are using a UITextView with a dark background. As such we have made the text white color in order to be easier to read. The problem is the magnify window that pops up when you hold down your finger to move the insertion point uses white for the text color as well. This makes it impossible to see exactly where the insertion point is.
Is it possible to independently control the text color used in the magnify window?
Here is a screen shot illustrating the problem.
I just did a quick test in here and it's working fine.
I tested with firmware 2.2.1, in the simulator and using a device.
This is what I did to test it:
1- Created a new View-Based project
2- edited the nib in the Interface Builder, added a UITextView, setting the text to white and the background to gray, leaving everything else default
Do you have something different?
Hmm, it works correctly in the Notes app. Not only is the background yellow, you also see the lines.
Maybe it depends on whether you set the background color directly on the UITextView or make it transparent and set the background color of its containing view?
I don't think you have any control over that. And I think you should file a bug report with Apple over that. It should be smarter than that.
