MonoTouch.Dialog: Setting Entry Alignment for EntryElement

Question

Using the EntryElement to enter data as is results in the data being entered being aligned sort of in the middle.

How do I specify that the entry should

Answer 1

Have you tried overriding CreateTextField on EntryElement ?

That should give you complete control on how to create the UITextField being used for the entry part of the element.

Update Notice that if you override CreateTextField, you should also override the Cellkey property, to ensure that this cell is not shared through the UITableView cell-sharing machinery with other EntryElements.

Of course you'll need to know the right size before being called (or delay settings some properties until you know for sure).
