How to change the defauld settings of the label of a textfield using Controlp5 library

mmuylle

I would like to have the label of a Controlp5 Textfield set to LowerCase and placed left of the Textfield.

t.toUpperCase(false); // t being the textfield does not work.

Hi, since this might not be immediately obvious, here an example of how to modify a Caption Label:

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 cp5;

void setup(){
  size(700,400);

  cp5 = new ControlP5(this);

  PFont font = createFont("arial",20);

  Textfield t = cp5.addTextfield("textValue")
        .setPosition(120,170)
        .setSize(200,40)
        .setFont(font);

  Label label = t.getCaptionLabel(); 
  label.setFont(font);
  label.toUpperCase(false);
  // in order to update the upperCase state, you need to invoke setText()
  label.setText("textValue"); 
  label.align(ControlP5.LEFT_OUTSIDE, CENTER);
  label.getStyle().setPaddingLeft(-10);
}

void draw(){
  background(0);
}

Thank you for your quick reply.

CENTER in the line: label.align(ControlP5.LEFT_OUTSIDE, CENTER); does not have effect and can be replaced by any variable. Why?

I have a few more questions related to a Textfield.

1) How to change the bordercolor and borderwidth of the Textfield?

2) Is it possible to CENTER the entered text in the Textfield?

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS: Do I have to post the Textfield questions as a NEW question.
