SfTextInputLayout TrailingView too small

[Martin]

Hello,

I've tried to implement a ComboBox inside a TextInputLayout with a button next to it to clear the input. Unfortunatly, I can't find a way to increase the size of the TrailingView and am stuck with a button only a few pixels in height. I tried to set HeightRequest and MinimumHeightRequest in XAML and tried to set the TrailingView directly as Button in the constructor. The TrailingView keeps to be just a few pixels high, not even high enough for a small text, because that would be unreadable. I am far from the nice big icons from the documentation.

Is there any way to increase the size of the TrailingView?

Regards

Martin

We would like to let you know that we have restricted the size of leading and trailing view width to 24 pixels and overall margin is 12 as per the specification of material design.However, we have already logged a feature request for this requirement, and it can be tracked through our feedback portal below.

Hi Rachel,

thanks, but I think I have already a problem with the existing TrailingView. I've researched this a bit and it seems it has to do that I tried to use a Button in the TrailingView. The Button then will be sized extremly small and unreadable. Is there any other way to use this than adding the Icon with a Label and adding a TabGestureRecognizer to the label?

Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin, 

 

As we have mentioned earlier, the width of the trailing view is 24 pixels by default and overall margin is 12 as per the specification of material design. We cannot increase the size more than the above specified limit of the leading or trailing view. If you increase the size of the button more than the above limit, it will shrink within the trailing view size. We have already consider this as a feature request (feedback) and you can track the feature progress from the above link. We appreciate your patience until then. 

 

Regards, 

Rachel.
