Question by KnightRiderGuy · Jan 31, 2016 at 04:10 PM · uiinputfieldtextfieldtextarea

UI Text Input Field Long Text String in Short Text Input field

How the heck do I get the cursor to continue to show my text that is being typed into a UI text input field once it reaches the end of the text input field box? I tried overflow horizontal but that did nothing so how the heck do you do it? Screen Grab Showing Caret not moving along with overflow text

Ok I tried selecting the UI input field with code like this but I still have the same problem when the "Caret / cursor" reaches the end of the text input field I can no longer see all that I am typing in. If I continue to type it in it does all enter it's just a little annoying that I can't see it all as I'm typing it with my virtual key board.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class $$anonymous$$eyBoard2$$anonymous$$P : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
     public InputField inputField$$anonymous$$P;
     public GameObject keyboardPanel02;
 
 
     void Start ()
     {
         inputField$$anonymous$$P = GameObject.Find ("InputField$$anonymous$$P").GetComponent<InputField> ();
     }
 
 public void readButton (string c){
         inputField$$anonymous$$P.text += c;
         //inputField$$anonymous$$P.Select();
         inputField$$anonymous$$P.ActivateInputField();
     }
 
     public void deleteText(){
         inputField$$anonymous$$P.text = "";
     }
     string messageToSend;
     public void submitText(){
         messageToSend = inputField$$anonymous$$P.text;
     }
 }
