Thanks for your help. But when is the text in the textField actually layouted? I have tried to get the right lines (that I acutally see in the end) after commitProperties and updateDisplayList - but there is always the wrong text in the textField properties. For instance I get 5 lines even if there are only 3 lines displayed in the end.
I have tried to set the width and height of the textField but this also didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.
