Adjusting frame of textLabel

[Sal]

     I'm trying to implement a DataForm into a current project but one of the requirements is to get the editor to have a similar visual appearance as the other areas of the app and so I need to either update the frames of the labels and other fields or is there a way to use a custom tableviewcell for the editor? I tried updating the frame using the code below, but the frame doesn't get updated (I put the blue background just so I can verify if it's changed the way I want and it still shows the same default frame. I know there's a way to change the offset, but that doesn't change the height of the labels, which is something I would need as well. 

 

override func dataForm(dataForm: TKDataForm, updateEditor editor: TKDataFormEditor, forProperty property: TKEntityProperty) {
        //for the title editor move the label above the editor
        if property.name == "title" {
            editor.textLabel.frame = CGRectMake(15, 4, self.dataForm.frame.width, 16)
            editor.textLabel.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica-Light", size: 13)
            editor.textLabel.textColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()
            editor.textLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()
        }
    }

So after opening up the example project and looking at some of the code I found an example with top aligned labels, so looks like using that as a sample I got mine formatted some what close to what I needed. The only other thing I can't seem to find is a way to update the titleLabel text to something else or even manipulate the existing title (like making it all uppercase).

Hi, Sal,

Thank you for writing.

The textLabel property of TKDataFormEditor shows its property's display name. So to change the text of the textLabel you should set the displayName property of the TKEntityProperty that is edited by this editor. Please consider the code snippet below:

_dataSource[@"password"].displayName = @"Enter password";

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
