Extending TextField

AniketK

I want to subclass TextField to crate a class that can underline sections within itself but I can't find the source of TextField itself. Even grepping the source for TextField.new doesn't show anything useful.

Could someone point me to where that code is in the source?

I am afraid this might not be what you expect, but the source is here: https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/2dsg/textfield.cpp

@AniketK
I don't know how to do this but I would start here:
http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Creating-multi-line-text-fields-in-Gideros-Mobile


otherwise I think that you can define a TextField2 = Core.class(TextField) and set up your constructor:

Yes, usually it is done on Lua level as @pie suggested
