Hi,

As far as I can tell it is not possible to remove the border around the native.textField.

If someone does know how to do this please can you let me know.

may be you can do something like

[lua]local textfield = native.newTextField(0,0,200,100)
local myText = display.newText(“here”,0,200,nil,36)
myText:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)

local function callMe()
myText.text = textfield.text
myText:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)
end
Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”,callMe)[/lua]

just take textbox to outside of the screen and put dummy textbox to show text on it if that can feet with your need

I´m trying to have understand your code, but I don´t fully understand it. What I´m trying to do is have a textfield that is fully invisible(also the frame border) and so far I have:

local textBox = native.newTextField( 210, 200, 100, 30, txtList)  
textBox:setTextColor(0, 0, 0, 255 )  
textBox.hasBackground = false

Could you give an example on how to remove the border on this textfield?

basically in above code textbox is outside of the screen and we are continuously taking the value in it to our text so no issue of border ( i have not tested above code still!!!)
