Adding new TextBox by End User

[Rick]

Hello

is there an option for adding new textbox by end-user? The only option i figured out is using the 'visibility' of itemes, in this case "TextBox.visible". But that way you have to pre-program all TextBoxes before.

Btw. - App Inventor is a great programm, i'm glad i have found it, it let me open the doors of programming :)

Be sure to reuse your text boxes.

See this sample app, which can be used to

store an unlimited amount of data using only a handful of text boxes.

@Taifun

i have tried it in many ways but:

- you have to preprogram it first

- you can't shape it properly like i.e. use "fill parent" width or other designer manipulation

- of course you can make unfinite number of i.e. buttons if you click "create dynamic component" several times but you can't i.e delete it by end user (or it will do it only once).

So it could be good for adding i.e. textboxing (whit small possibilty of design it.

Nice to have this extension but it is very limited. And i think it is easier to just use normal blocks and use "Visible" function.

Anyway, thanks for suggestion
