Material-UI - Unable to click in multiline TextField inside Draggable Dialog - reactjs

I have a draggable dialog with a couple of text fields for a user to fill in and submit. However, when I set the multiline option on a TextField, I am no longer able to click in the field and type. I can only type inside the field if I tab into it. The TextFields that are not multiline work the way I want. How do I make it so that I can click and type into the multiline TextField???
A couple code snippets included here...
This is from the Draggable Dialog:
function PaperComponent(props) {
return (
<Draggable cancel="input">
<Paper {...props} />
</Draggable>
);
}
const GenericDialog = props => {
return (
<Dialog
disableBackdropClick
disableEscapeKeyDown
disableRestoreFocus
fullWidth={true}
maxWidth={props.maxWidth}
open={props.open}
onClose={props.onClose}
PaperComponent={PaperComponent}
>
<DialogTitle>{props.dialogTitle}</DialogTitle>
{props.children}
<DialogActions>
<Button onClick={props.onSubmit} color="primary">
Submit
</Button>
<Button onClick={props.onClose} color="secondary" autoFocus>
Cancel
</Button>
</DialogActions>
)}
</Dialog>
This is how the text field that I am unable to click/type into is defined:
<TextField
style={{ margin: 0, width: '350px' }}
label="Task Description"
helperText="(1024 character maximum)"
inputProps={{ maxLength: 1024 }}
multiline
rows="4"
onChange={this.handleChange('taskDescription')}
value={this.state.task.taskDescription}
variant="outlined"
/>

My confusion was that I thought the TextField was an input. But with the multiline prop, it is instead a textarea. To resolve the problem, I changed the Draggable cancel prop to: cancel="input, textarea"

<TextField
style={{ margin: 0, width: '350px' }}
label="Task Description"
helperText="(1024 character maximum)"
inputProps={{ maxLength: 1024 }}
multiline
rows="4"
autoFocus={true}
onChange={this.handleChange('taskDescription')}
value={this.state.task.taskDescription}
variant="outlined"/>

React MUI Autocomplete - Customizing renderInput content

I'm using the React MUI Autocomplete component like in the countries example from the official doc.
My goal is to display in bold the country code, as I already did in the renderOption by simply enclosing the option.code value with HTML tags.
import * as React from 'react';
import Box from '#mui/material/Box';
import TextField from '#mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete from '#mui/material/Autocomplete';
export default function CountrySelect() {
return (
<Autocomplete
id="country-select-demo"
sx={{ width: 300 }}
options={countries}
autoHighlight
getOptionLabel={(option) => `${option.code} ${option.label}`} // DISPLAY THE CODE
renderOption={(props, option) => (
<Box component="li" sx={{ '& > img': { mr: 2, flexShrink: 0 } }} {...props}>
<img
loading="lazy"
width="20"
src={`https://flagcdn.com/w20/${option.code.toLowerCase()}.png`}
srcSet={`https://flagcdn.com/w40/${option.code.toLowerCase()}.png 2x`}
alt=""
/>
{option.label} (<b>{option.code}</b>) +{option.phone}
</Box>
)}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
label="Choose a country"
inputProps={{
...params.inputProps,
autoComplete: 'new-password', // disable autocomplete and autofill
}}
/>
)}
/>
);
}
I cannot find a way to reference the option.code inside the renderInput property, so I cannot figure out how to display the country code in bold also in the renderInput, since the bold is only visible when choosing an option, but not when that option is selected.
Is there a solution for this?
The main problem with this is that MUI Textfields consist of HTML <input/> tags.
Its value can only be of type string which prohibits any direct value styling but you can make use of an startAdornment like so:
...
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
label="Choose a country"
inputProps={{
...params.inputProps,
autoComplete: "new-password" // disable autocomplete and autofill
}}
InputProps={{
...params.InputProps,
startAdornment: <strong>{params.inputProps.value.split(" ")[0]}</strong>
}}
/>
)}
...
Your next challenge would be to remove the additional country code from the input-value or even better, move to a controlled value approach.

Material ui Autocomplete endInputAdornment custom elements not centered

When setting material ui <Autocomplete /> with variant='filled' The endInputAdornments does not center to the AutoComplete.
Codesandbox with both variants for reference here
<Autocomplete
disablePortal
id="combo-box-demo"
options={top100Films}
sx={{ width: 300, mt: 2 }}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
label="Movie"
variant="filled" //With filled it does not center anymore
InputProps={{
...params.InputProps,
endAdornment: (
<React.Fragment>
{params.InputProps.endAdornment}
<IconButton
color="primary"
aria-label="upload picture"
component="span"
>
<PhotoCamera />
</IconButton>
</React.Fragment>
)
}}
/>
I found a github issue where they fixed it for the inputProps internally but I cant seem to find a way to do the same with my own adornment elements.
The only prop that seems relevant is popupIcon but i still want that default feature. I just want to be able to add more IconButtons to the endInputAdornments
You can style the container for the icon by using a <div> instead of <React.Fragment>:
endAdornment: (
<div style={{ marginTop: "-19px" }}>
{params.InputProps.endAdornment}
<IconButton
color="primary"
aria-label="upload picture"
component="div"
>
<PhotoCamera />
</IconButton>
</div>
)
Here's the sandbox link
Why -19px? Because with variant="filled" the container for the text and icon is shifted down by 19px:
The popup icon of Autocomplete is vertically centered because of this styles. You can add your own styles to center the icon next to it by modifying the styles from the source a bit:
<Autocomplete
options={top100Films}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
label="Movie"
variant="filled"
InputProps={{
...params.InputProps,
sx: {
// this is necessary if you don't want to input value to be
// placed under the icon at the end
'&&&': { pr: '70px' },
},
endAdornment: (
<React.Fragment>
{params.InputProps.endAdornment}
<IconButton
color="primary"
sx={{
position: 'absolute',
p: 0,
right: 40,
top: 'calc(50% - 12px)', // Center vertically
}}
>
<PhotoCamera />
</IconButton>
</React.Fragment>
),
}}
/>
)}
/>

How to remove the second x button, the left one inside a TextField inside a Autocomplete?

I have a search bar that uses Autocomplete from material ui to provide suggestions, and inside of it i have text field where I take text as input.
The only problem is that when i type anything in the TextField I can see 2 clear buttons (x button) one on the left of the loading screen and one on the right, and when the loading screen disappears i get 2 clear buttons next to each other. I want to remove the one on the left as it looks bad, and I don't know why it's there.
Search.jsx:
<div className={searchClasses.search}>
<Autocomplete
options={isEmpty ? [] : suggestionsList}
freeSolo
style={{width: "100%"}}
getOptionLabel={(option) => option.title}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
variant="outlined"
margin="normal"
required
fullWidth
autoFocus
loading={loading}
style={{margin: 0}}
classes={{ notchedOutline: classes.input }}
onChange={handleOnChange}
onKeyDown={e => handleKeyDown(e)}
placeholder="Search..."
type="search"
InputProps={{
...params.InputProps,
startAdornment: (
<InputAdornment position="start">
<SearchIcon />
</InputAdornment>
),
endAdornment: (
<React.Fragment>
{loading ? <CircularProgress color="inherit" size={20} /> : null}
{params.InputProps.endAdornment}
</React.Fragment>
),
classes: { notchedOutline: classes.noBorder }
}}
/>
)}
renderOption={(option, { inputValue }) => {
const matches = match(option.title, inputValue);
const parts = parse(option.title, matches);
return (
<div>
{parts.map((part, index) => (
<span
key={index}
style={{ fontWeight: part.highlight ? 700 : 400 }}
>
{part.text}
</span>
))}
</div>
);
}}
/>
</div>
Solution
Create a new CSS stylesheet (let say styles.css) and add the following code:
input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button {
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
Next, import this stylesheet at the beginning of your Search.jsx:
import "./styles.css";
/* Your code here ... */
Explanation
The left "X" cancel button is present because Webkit-based browsers such as Chrome and Safari automatically adds the cancel button to all <input type="search"> elements. Since your TextField element has the prop type="search", it renders <input type="search"> to the screen and hence your browser automatically adds the "X" button.
The default "X" button can be selected using the ::-webkit-search-cancel-button psuedo-element selector. In our style.css, we select all default "X" buttons in all <input type="search"> elements and we hide them using -webkit-appearance: none;

How can I change the way of selecting in a checkbox?

I'm using react and I have a checkbox created with Autocomplete where I select items. It
is the same as that provided by material:
The problem is that the function "OnChange" runs only if I select the square.
I would like it to work also by selecting the row. How can I do it? Here's my code:
<AutoComplete
multiple
id="checkboxes-tags-demo"
options={props.roles}
// disableCloseOnSelect
// getOptionLabel={(options) => `${options}`}
renderOption={(options, { selected }) => (
<React.Fragment>
<Checkbox
icon={icon}
checkedIcon={checkedIcon}
style={{ marginRight: 20 }}
value={options}
checked={selected}
onChange={updateNewRoles}
/>
{options}
</React.Fragment>
)}
style={{ width: 500 }}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
{...params}
variant="outlined"
label=""
placeholder="Available Roles"
/>
)}
/>
<button type="submit" onClick={onSubmitChecked}>
Save
</button>
This is a photo of the example provided by material. The functions are performed only by clicking the icon and not the line:

I lose focus with every letter in a text field

I'm trying to make an entry in a text field and display the value in the field for each letter.
However, every time I type, I lose the focus in the field.
I use the whole thing within a dialog component of Material-Design
const [aendereEmail, setaendereEmail] = React.useState("");
<Dialog
onClose={userBearbeitenDialogClose}
aria-labelledby="responsive-dialog-title"
fullScreen={fullScreen}
open={userBearbeitenDialog}
>
<DialogTitle id="simple-dialog-title">User bearbeiten</DialogTitle>
<DialogContent dividers>
<Col md={12} style={{ textAlign: "center", marginTop: "20px" }}>
<TextField
id="email"
type="text"
variant="outlined"
label="eMail"
onChange={(e) => setaendereEmail(e.target.value)}
value={aendereEmail}
/>
</Col>
</Row>
</DialogContent>
<DialogActions>
<Button
color="primary"
onClick={() => userBearbeitenSpeichern(aktuellerUser)}
>
übernehmen
</Button>
</DialogActions>
</Dialog>
