B4J Question TextArea Background Image

[a n g l o]

hi, no code at all :
starting a new b4j ui project, opening the designer, adding some jpg,bmp,png files, adding a TextArea, selecting Drawable Bitmap, selecting any one of the files added.
running the program. the TextArea does not show the background image.
tried the alpha level, tried images that are bigger, smaller then the TextArea. tried doing it by code (CSSutils) - nothing.
with TextField it's okay. but i'm intrested in TextArea.
Thanks for any advice.

TextArea.Style = $"-fx-background-image: url(${File.GetUri(File.DirAssets, "img.jpg")})"$

see:

TextArea.Style = $"
                -fx-background-image: url(${File.GetUri(File.DirAssets, "img.jpg")});
                -fx-background-repeat: stretch;
                -fx-background-size: 100% 100%;
                -fx-background-position: center center;
                -fx-effect: dropshadow(three-pass-box, rgba(0,0,0,0.9), 10, 0, 0, 0);
                -fx-background-color: transparent;
                "$

oparra, thanks !
i've tried and not satisfied. it's a lot of numbers and sizes to play with.

my question was about the simple RAD option in the designer.

Thanks

I don't understand, if you just have to add a style file for the text areas or just code for a particular area text.

oparra thank you, THIS is the properties for TextArea :

what's in RED - Does not work (for me. i expect that the TextArea background will be the image (filled or tiled as i select), and that the text will be displayed on it). now :

1. am i doing /expecting something wrong ? if yes - what ?
2. is it a bug in b4j ?
3. is it a mistake and this property should not be there ?
4. any other explanation ?

I'm here for RAD and i see a RAD option here. please, wait with me for the answer.
Thank you

test:

Add file image to files list

result.

test - add same file to TextField and to TextArea :

result :

are you sure that your test was not with TextField ?

 

[TILogistic]

see attached file, is what I have tried to tell you

MainForm.Stylesheets.Add(File.GetUri(File.DirAssets, "Style.css"))

 

[TILogistic]

just add the image in the design.

and the style file does the work of laying out the textarea type field

Regards.

oparra, from your code, i deleted the line :

MainForm.Stylesheets.Add(File.GetUri(File.DirAssets, "Style.css"))

and then - your result is exactly as my result.

so i'm back to square 1 : the designer works fine with TextField, not working with TextArea.
1. am i doing /expecting something wrong ? if yes - what ?
2. is it a bug in b4j ?
3. is it a mistake and this property should not be there ?
4. any other explanation ?

I'm here for RAD and i see a RAD option here. please, wait with me for the answer. (getting a Style.css file from you is not a REAL RAD....THANK YOU)

Read JavaFx about TextArea.

Sorry.

In Java I have always had to format TextArea and other objects.

If you know of a RAD that does, can you tell me which one?
