Colored Text Fields/ Text Area

Any way to get a colored text field or text area? Looking for an editable field that will be the same color as the back color of the view. Thanks for any help.

Due to the fact that Xojo decided not to expose certain fundamental properties of iOS controls. the use of Declares is the only way to overcome this shortcoming. Perhaps somebody will publish them for you.

Checkout iOSDesignExtensions by @Jeremie Leroy it has the functionality you need.

//This code in the open event of an iOSTextField will set the background color to red me.SetBackgroundColorXC(&cFF0000)
