Native Textfield - auto-select Text

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Is it possible to auto-select the current text in a native.newTextField (iOS) when the user taps on the textfield?

alternatively, is it possible to show that little X that clears the text field on tap?

can’t find anything in the docs :frowning:

I believe this isn’t currently possible, no - though it seems like a good idea. Perhaps one to post on the roadmap comments or in feature request/roadmap sub forum? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 30084 reply_id: 120614[/import]
