Hi All,
In my toy program, the root view contains a text field control which was added in the UI editor. The background color of the text field is always white regardless of the color setting in UI editor. I also tried to set the color by code and it had no effect on the UI. Any idea?
Thanks.
@peter put you TextField over an ui.View and play with its opacity, like here
from objc_util import *
import ui
v = ui.View()
v.frame = (0,0,200,50)
tf_back = ui.View()
tf_back.frame = (10,10,180,30)
tf_back.background_color = 'blue'
tf_back.corner_radius = 5
v.add_subview(tf_back)
tf = ui.TextField()
tf.frame = (0,0,tf_back.width,tf_back.height)
tf.alpha = 0.9
tf_back.add_subview(tf)
v.present('sheet')
@cvp thank you for the quick response.
Your method works but not ideal because the text also becomes transparent. Is this bug or intended behavior?
@peter You are right, and I think it is the normal behavior.
There should be an objectiveC solution...
Edit: I have tried some ones but without success, up to now
@peter Eureka (I had used this textField() one year ago and had already forgotten 😢)
from objc_util import *
import ui
v = ui.View()
v.frame = (0,0,200,50)
tf = ui.TextField()
tf.frame = (10,10,180,30)
tf.tint_color = 'black'
v.add_subview(tf)
tfo = ObjCInstance(tf).textField()
tfo.backgroundColor = ObjCClass('UIColor').colorWithRed_green_blue_alpha_(1, 0, 0, 1)
v.present('sheet')
Your objectiveC code worked wonderfully. Thank you again.
