TextArea and TextInput text properties

Gordon said: If you can set them on a TextArea's TextView but not on a TextInput's TextView, that's a bug.

This was my fault! Actually it works, the problem is that the properties are not applied until the text is changed (which is a bug I think). In my tests I was updating the text for TextArea but not TextInput that's why I thought it only works for TextArea!

Anyway I followed the advice of Matt and I'm continuing this discussion on felxcoders. Here is the link: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/120797

Gumbo text components aren't yet supporting styles properly; that will<br />come later. Text attributes like fontSize are currently implemented as<br />properties on TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView. If you can set them on<br />a TextArea's TextView but not on a TextInput's TextView, that's a bug.<br /><br />Gordon Smith<br />Adobe Flex SDK Team<br /><br /><br /><br />-----Original Message-----<br />From: Matt Chotin [mailto:member@adobeforums.com] <br />Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 9:31 AM<br />To: flexsdk-dev@adobeforums.com<br />Subject: Re: TextArea and TextInput text properties<br /><br />A new message was posted by Matt Chotin in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> TextArea and TextInput text properties<br /><br />This question should probably be asked on flexcoders instead of here<br />since you're not developing the SDK itself.<br /><br />But I think you want to check out the styles available on those classes.<br /><br />matt<br /><br /><br />On 7/30/08 1:19 AM, "Haykel Ben Jemia" <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br /><br />A new discussion was started by Haykel Ben Jemia in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> TextArea and TextInput text properties<br /><br />Hi,<br /><br />how can I set text properties like direction, textAlign, fontSize etc.<br />for TextArea and TextInput?

This question should probably be asked on flexcoders instead of here since you're not developing the SDK itself.<br /><br />But I think you want to check out the styles available on those classes.<br /><br />matt<br /><br /><br />On 7/30/08 1:19 AM, "Haykel Ben Jemia" <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br /><br />A new discussion was started by Haykel Ben Jemia in<br /><br />Developers --<br /> TextArea and TextInput text properties<br /><br />Hi,<br /><br />how can I set text properties like direction, textAlign, fontSize etc. for TextArea and TextInput?
