Auto Capitalisation on TextInput

crooksy88

I'm trying to get auto capitalisation to work on a TextInput but it's having none of it.
Would anyone have any suggestions?

_input.textEditorFactory = function():ITextEditor {
	var editor:StageTextTextEditor = new StageTextTextEditor();
	editor.fontFamily = Main.FONT_LIGHT;
	editor.fontSize = 30;
	editor.color = Main.FONT_COLOUR_DARK;
	editor.softKeyboardType = SoftKeyboardType.CONTACT;
	editor.autoCapitalize = AutoCapitalize.WORD;
	return editor;
}

I found this note in the documentation:

This property is only a hint to the underlying platform, because not all devices and operating systems support this functionality.

joshtynjala this is testing on iOS.

I don't know which operating systems support this StageText feature, and unfortunately, the documentation doesn't say.

If you want to be sure, test a standalone StageText without TextInput. If it works with a standalone StageText, then it's clearly a bug in Feathers UI. If it doesn't work standalone, then I guess StageText on iOS doesn't support that feature.

OK thanks Josh. I'll investigate.

It appears that the softKeyboardType needs to be set to default in order for auto capitalisation to work.

editor.softKeyboardType = SoftKeyboardType.DEFAULT;
