Hi,

In case of replacing TextField with TextArea within FieldGroup, you just need to define the rows attribute, for instance:

<fieldGroup id="fieldGroup"
        datasource="userDs">
    <column width="250px">
        <field property="login"
               rows="5"/>
        ...
    </column>
</fieldGroup>

So, no need to use a custom component.

Hi @gorelov

I’ve been messing with layouts and TextAreas today and just saw this post. I have the following layout for my field group and have set Rows 4 and Cols 2 for the TextArea property but my TextArea is not spanning multiple columns.

What am I doing wrong?

    <fieldGroup id="fieldGroup"
                datasource="testFieldsDs">
        <column width="250px">
            <field property="fieldOne"/>
            <field cols="2"
                   property="fieldThree"
                   rows="4"/>
        </column>
        <column>
            <field property="fieldTwo"/>
        </column>
    </fieldGroup>

Hi,

FieldGroup does not support colspan / rowspan properties. If you need them - use GridLayout component.
TextArea uses cols and rows properties only for text box width / height. If you set width / height for TextArea these attributes are ignored.

Box layout is your friend.

Hi @artamonov

Thanks. I got the wrong idea about what cols did then.

@Earl02

I’ll have a look at Box Layout. Thanks
