Usage
TextField
.autoSize
Description
Property; controls automatic sizing and alignment of text fields. When you set the autoSize
property, true
is a synonym for "left"
and false
is a synonym for "none"
. Resizing takes place as follows:
 |
If the value of autosize is "none" , the text field behaves normally and does not automatically resize or align to match the text. |
 |
If the value of autosize is "left" and the text field line type is set to Multiline in the text Property inspector, then the text field expands or contracts its right and bottom sides to fit all contained text. |
 |
If the value of autosize is "left" and the text field line type is set to Multiline No Wrap in the text Property inspector, then the text field expands or contracts only its right side to fit all contained text. |
 |
If the value of autosize is "center" , the text field auto-sizes, but the horizontal center of the text field stays anchored at the text field's original horizontal center position. The bottom side still expands to fit all contained text. |
 |
If the value of autosize is "right" , the text field auto-sizes; but the left and bottom sides expand or contract. The top and right side remain in the same positions. |
Example
The following sets the autosize
property of the text field textField2 to "center"
.
textField2.autosize = "center";
