    HI there,

    How do you modify the UITextBox editor on TKDataForms to contain ie 5 lines of text, or even more (with scrolling).

    I would like to be able to ie. enter a long description ...

    Thanks.

    Hi, Tony,

    Thank you for writing.

    I apologize for the late reply. Currently TKDataForm does not support multiline text entry. This feature is already logged in our feedback portal and is scheduled for our Q1 release in January. I hope this time frame is OK for you.

    If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

    Regards,

    Hi, James,

    To use the editor you should set the EditorClass property of TKEntityProperty like in the code snippet below:
    this.dataSource ["Notes"].EditorClass = new Class (typeof(TKDataFormMultilineTextEditor));
    I hope this helps.

    From the common PCL of a Xamarin.Forms project, is there a way to set a BindingContext property with an editor type of Telerik.XamarinForms.Input.EditorType.TextEditor to be multiline? For example, if the code is set up like this:

    Model

    public class ExampleModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
    {
        [DisplayOptions(Header = "Comment")]
        public string Comment { get; set; }
    }

    Xaml code-behind

    public partial class GroupPage : ContentPage
    {
        public GroupPage(GroupBase group)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
     
            BindingContext = new ExampleModel();
        }
    }

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    A multiline editor is not supported out of the box in Xamarin Forms, but you can use a custom data form renderer for each platform to set up a multiline editor. I have attached a sample that demonstrates how. Here you can find more information about editors.

    Please, let us know if you have further questions.
