Is it possible to make single TextField scrollable?

[manupatel007]

Question

I have a TextField which can contain multiline text, even exceeding the window's height. Is it possible to add scroll behavior to it once it overflow the window? I have tried to contain it in Row and Column controls with scroll enabled, but no luck.

Can you paste a sample code please?

Yes Sure

`
import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
page.title = "Flet Text Editor"

txt_number = ft.TextField(text_align=ft.TextAlign.LEFT, expand=True, multiline=True, border="none", hint_text="Write your text here...")

# lv = ft.ListView()
page.add(
    ft.Column(
        [
            txt_number
        ],
        scroll=ft.ScrollMode.ALWAYS
    )
)

ft.app(target=main)
`

Solution: add an expand=True to the column too ( i will also advice to comment the scroll of the column, but you could leave it…)

ft.Column(
    [
        txt_number
    ],
    expand=True,
    # scroll=ft.ScrollMode.ALWAYS
)

You can also completely leave out the Column (it's scroll prop is not necessary).
