Font

The font for the control's text taken from the Application Font repository.

Platform specific:

  • On mobile devices, when a system color is used it will show the operating system's default color for the control.

  • For Android devices, you can change the native color of the underline that appears with an Edit control that has focus. For more information, see: Native Color Customization.

  • For Windows 10 Mobile devices, a focused Edit control will always appear with the native appearance, which is black on white.

  • Hints are not supported for Edit controls inside of Table controls.

  • Hints will be seen only when the control is Modifiable and the task is in modify or Create mode.
