TOPIC: Placeholder text instead of label

Placeholder text instead of label 1 year, 7 months ago #1

Hello again, I would like to request an option that would set the placeholder property of a text field instead of the cell label and make the text field the full width of the cell. Thank you!	kamanova OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 20 Karma: 3

Hi Karl, If you don't set a label for an SCTextField cell, Sensible TableView will automatically have the text field take the whole cell width. Is that what you need?	tarekskr OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2402 Karma: 72

Okay I see how to do it now:

[myclassdef propertyDefinitionWithName:@"firstName"].attributes = 
[SCTextFieldAttributes attributesWithPlaceholder:@"enter your first name"];

If that wasn't possible I was hoping for something like this:

SCClassDefinition *myclassdef = 
[[SCClassDefinition alloc] initWithClass:[myclass class]
withPropertyNames:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"firstName", /*etc.,*/ nil]
withPropertyTitles:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"enter your first name", /*...,*/ nil]
usePropertyTitleForPlaceholderTextInsteadOfLabel:YES];

Thanks!!

Oh I get what you mean, and I think it's a really nice idea! We should probably implement this as a BOOL property of SCTextFieldAttributes and call it "displayTitleAsPlaceholder". What do you think?	tarekskr OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 2402 Karma: 72

If anyone else would find that a useful feature, then sure! However, I'm okay with using attributes. Thanks again!	kamanova OFFLINE Junior Boarder Posts: 20 Karma: 3
