Just started with MobileTogether and I cannot get multiline edit fields to work. I worked through the first online tutorial and got that working. Then I wanted to make the one-and-only edit field present multiline. I found the Multiline property and set that to true, but that doesn't work - still only one line. In the manual I found "If this property is set to true, and if the Text Size Auto-Fit property is not enabled, then the text will not wrap ...".
Where can I find the "Text Size Auto-Fit" property? I have found "Text Size". Is "Auto-Fit" a property of "Text Size"? If not then is there something fundamental that I am missing?

There is some misunderstanding - you don't need the Test Size Auto-Fit property. All is needed is to set Multiline to true as you did. What do you mean it doesnt' work?

What happens is that when I set MultiLine to true, and then run my program, the edit field looks exactly the same. When I type something in and it reaches the rhs of the control it does not wrap the text, or scroll up, and pressing return does not start a new line.

This makes no sense - multiline text fields are a very common feature and work everywhere. Can you send a sample please? Also, which Designer version are you using?

OK. I have attached a sample. You can see in the XML that MultiLine is set to 1 (meaning true I suppose). I am using designer version 5.4.

Hi,
please set multiline to true for the label as well. Otherwise you'll have multiline text editable but you display it in a single line in the label.
The multi line edit field itself works fine for me in your sample. Also with wrapping.
If you want to manually add a newline please remember to use ctrl+return.
best regards
