native.newTextField Zoom

Hi all,

Just want to ask if there is any functionality in corona to zoom in on the textbox in question when it is focused or if I need to code this functionality myself.

Hi Jessica,
The Native text box is not a typical Corona display object… it resides above the OpenGL “canvas” and thus more on the OS level, not so much the Corona level. You can manage certain aspects of it… alpha, position, etc… but zooming in might be impossible.

Try it out, maybe you can zoom in on the individual text box, but not zoom the display group it’s in.
