object.isEditable

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

The object.isEditable seems only to be available for the newTextBox. Have I misunderstood something or is it not available for newTextField?

Is there another way to make newTextField read only?

I’m building for Android.

Hi @runewinse,

This is a cross-platform limitation for us. On iOS, text boxes are wrapped “UITextView” objects which do offer an “editable” property, but text fields wrap the “UITextField” object which does not offer an equivalent functionality. For Android, this property exists for both types, but since both platforms don’t offer the same capabilties in this regard, we can’t offer it via a built-in API.

Ok, I understand. I’ll find a way around this then.

Thanks!
