Keyboard Question

Hi everyone

so my question is…

msgField = native.newTextField( 25, -130 , 270, 180, onEmailTouch )  
msgField.font = native.newFont( native.systemFontBold, inputFontSize )  
msgField.text = ""  
msgField:setTextColor( 51, 51, 122, 255 )  
keyboardGroup:insert( msgField )

Why this textField only write 1 line? I wish that when the words reached the edge of the field, start typing in another line below the first

It can be done?

You should use

msgField = native.newTextBox
msgField.isEditable=true

Try this.

[code]local function onEmailTouch( getObj )
return function( event )
if ( “began” == event.phase ) then
– This is the “keyboard has appeared” event

native.setKeyboardFocus(msgField)
elseif ( “ended” == event.phase ) then

elseif ( “submitted” == event.phase ) then

end

end
end

msgField = native.newTextBox( 25, -130 , 270, 180,onEmailTouch( function() return msgField end ))
