Hey,
Can we have Trigger Field with MultiLine Mode? I want to use it like textarea. We can align the triggers from BottomRight or TopRight. Possible?

Thanks,

Hi,

TextArea cannot use triggers because it is not inherited from TriggerField
What about to use vertical toolbar, like in the following sample
#/Toolbar/Menu/Layout_Toolbar/   (Vertical Toolbar In Panel)

 I thought triggerfield is inherited from TextField and so is TextArea.

Vertical toolbar looks quiet heavy for such a small function...

I think to make the TriggerField render with a TextArea we would have to extend TriggerField and create a new component with a new TextMode="MultiLine". Similar to the <asp:TextBox>. 

It's possible, and we can add to our TODO list, although I can't say 100% for sure when this would get implemented.

The benefit of triggerfield is that the button is inside the TextField. Though the typing width is same if the button is outside or inside, but atleast the border and width of Textfield is in align with other textboxes in the form.

Are you sure this cannot be done?

Another thing you can play with is the .AutoCreate property and pass in a custom DomHelper config object. I haven't tested to see what would happen, but theoretically something like that should work. 

You might have to play with the css of the triggers as well. I'm not sure how they will look if the background is stretched in height.

Yes, thats what i thought, to add TextMode="Single" or "Multiline" to Triggerfield. 

Triggerfield renders textfield... Can you not just add the condition to render textarea or textfield based on above.... 

I have'nt seen the code for triggerfield, so cant comment much.

Wheneva you implement it, I will replace my code... Sooner the better ofcourse
