You can set the Height of an Editbox via the LooknFeel definition. Please refer to the CEGUI API docs for: <Area>, <FontDim>, and FontMetricType.

Please make sure you search the wiki, forums, API docs, and source-code prior to asking a question. You can find the answer to most questions using these tools. Only after searching is it appropriate to ask. And when asking make sure you include all relevant information, and the source for that information; this way we know you at least tried and we will be more willing to help you. Thank you.

thank you for your replay

i know i can set the "Visual" Height of any widget
but what i'm asking is if it possible to set/constrain the actual height (the mouse hot area) from look'n'feel
something like <Property name="MaxSize" value="{{1,0},{0,29}}"/> but i don't want 29 to be fixed but rather dynamic from the font lineSpacing

thank you
