Build a Text-Input Box Whose Height Increases As You Type

[jverkoey]

This control should behave identically to the Messages app. As you enter text the height of the label should increase in order to accommodate the text.

Configurable settings:

• Send on enter or send button embedded in the control
• Max height

This control would likely be called NIAutoResizingTextView.

I recently used this in a project which may help:

and also added a placeholder label, (and combined it with TTStyle to make it look good).

Looks simple enough. We should consider contacting Hans and asking if it would be ok to absorb his project into Nimbus. We could heavily document it ourselves if he's not interested in adding it himself.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up. Glad to see this problem has already been tackled many times before.
