I want to make a custom messagebox form, but there's an issue if the message is to long the text will go off screen, is there a way to word wrap it to wrap the text, and the more height the text creates the form will then size to show all the text, if you know what I mean. Not sure if this is even possible, but it has to be automatic so no manual presets, it just adapts to the text...
If anyone can help with this please let me know, thanks!

I’m creating an app and need to make a signup/login page. I added a background using a picture and a zstack and on top I have the text and text fields. The text fields are showing up but not allowing me to add padding as well as there is no title text showing. Please help.my code
Did some more testing to find out that this happens whenever I use a textfield over an image. Not sure if this is a bug or not but it seems to be because as soon as the zstack is removed everything works.
At last ive discovered the issue, the text fields are extending way out of the canvas. Ive fixed the width of the textfield as a temporary solution but still looking for a way to fix this relative to the screen rather than the background as the field extends to the size of the image. Let me know if you can help as im just starting to use xcode!
I think its because the image cause canvas to be much more bigger and you use edgesIgnoringSafearea(.all)
Try to use on the image clipped() method and i think it will fix your issue with the padding.
And also try to add foregroundColor to the test fields
Is the following possible and if so, what do I do.
I have multi-line text on a hidden label. When a user clicks a button, the label is displayed under a Textbox (It is re-hidden by a second button click). This works fine. However, if the label text is very long, the label is truncated by the form border(s). Is there a way to "ignore" the form borders as a context menu does? I cannot seem to find a property, or method, to accomplish this. I tried BringToFront but that did not help at all.
I used a label as one project form has 3 labels of this type. Also, I am open to suggestions as to a better way of displaying help then a custom label.
I have a program that dynamically draws rectangles and then draws the string (name and description) inside the rectangles. My intended behavior is when a user clicks on any of the rectangle, it should show the typing cursor and allow the text to be edited.
What I have tried so far is create a textbox overlay the rectangle the user clicked on. This seems to work ok but I feel as if this isn't the best way to handle it. Does anyone have an alternate solution/idea?
its a bit complicated and maybe not worth it but,
you can listen to user keyboard and when is clicking the rectangle start inputting the text from keyboard to a label (on top of the rectangle)...
Wondering if someone could help me....
I have a small .NET application where I have an Edit button on a main form. When the user clicks the Edit button, I want to popup a small form right next to it (on top of the main form) with a speech balloon tail attached on the side of the form pointing to the Edit button. So it gives the effect of a floating form pushed out from the Edit button.
I don't want the appearance of a normal speech bubble, I want it to look like an actual borderless form (with square corners). It could be a custom control or anything (however, I am not yet familiar with creating my own custom controls), but I need to add Text Controls, Pictures, Label Controls, etc. to this floating form.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE
I am trying to create something to this affect:
So imagine the ? being the Edit button and the other being a form with custom controls.
Like this?
To get this behavior:
Select an image which will represent your speech bubble. Put a PictureBox on the form, make it use this image. Place two labels, as above, adjust the font.
Pick your transparency key (color). Your image background and form background need to be set to that. I used black for demo purposes, which is a bad choice if you plan to have any black or text in your speech bubble. Set form's TransparencyKey property to this color in designer. More about TransparencyKey on MSDN.
(final step, not shown on the screenshot). Set FormBorderStyle = None.
Also make sure you have other ways to close your bubble, because X will be unavailable.
The final result may look something like the following:
Note: You may notice some drawing artifacts, most images on the internet have smooth borders, and transparency key does not support shades, has to be exact color. If you are fine with these minor artifacts, feel free to leave it at that. Or, edit it to get rough borders. Or find another one that better suits your needs.
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.
