I am creating a form that will be used on a tablet and I am trying to make everything bigger.  I cannot seem to find a way to make the text box and drop down boxes bigger, vertically.  I can make them wider but I need them to be taller.  Adjusting the font size does not have an affect on the box size.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

Hi,


 


Depending on what your desired outcome should be, please have a look at both of these option to decide which will work better for your scenario.


 


Changing font size - this will increase the text height meaning that the text box's height will also increase automatically.


Steps to do this:


1. Open formview


2. Slect text box


3. In properties window (bottom right) click the ellipse of styles.


4. In styles select the "Font" tab and change the Font size to a bigger font to change the text box size.


 


Changing the height andor width of a text box without changing the font size - this will increase the height andor width of the text box as it will be padding the text box from the text outwards.


 


Steps to do this:


1. Open formview


2. slect text box


3. in properties window (bottom right) click the ellipse of styles.


4. in styles select the "padding" tab and change the padding as desired.


 


Padding description


Default - will change (pad) all side of the text box.


Top - will change (pad) top of the text box.


Right - will change (pad) right side of the text box.


Bottom - will change (pad) bottom of the text box.


Left - will change (pad) left side of the text box.


 


Kind Regards,


Raymond

The padding was the trick!

You could also set the size in a custom theme derived from one of K2's OOTB themes.  They are standard CSS.
