PHPRunner General questions

I have looked about everywhere and can't find a solution that will let me set the size of the input field on add or edit for an input or change item.
All the input boxes are the same size and sometimes, that just is a pain for the user.
Here are the questions:

  1. How do you change the size of an input field for add or edit?
  2. Can it be different for each input field?
  3. Is there a solution for increasing the size of the displayed field name (to include an example of the input for example) only on add or edit pages?
    Since I have just started using phpRunner so I could be missing something really simple. None the less, I have had a tough time finding a solution for these questions. I found one for the output listing in the forum but it does not address the input form.
    PhpRunner already has cut a huge project down to size in no time. There are just a few things I haven't seen a way to do. Boy, where was phpRunner a year ago when I really needed it!
    Thanks in advance to all those who help.
    Best regards,

Hi,
check Size option on the "Edit as" settings dialog on the Visual Editor tab.

To open this dialog double click on the field.

Thanks, I knew it had to be there. This was so simple I, well, simply missed the obvious.
Really appreciate your help...

Best regards,

What about when you have it as a lookup wizard and it's doing a list page with search option. There is no size option there...and if you go back to text area and set it, it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
to change dropdown size edit BuildSelectControl function in the generated include/commonfunctions.php file.
