remove/hide the cancel button seen in search bar

Hi, I am trying to create a search bar for iOS.By default what i get is : http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.SearchBar . Is there a way to disable to cancel button since i alreay get a (small cross) to cancel the search ?? Also can we reduce the width of search bar,and move the hintText to left side??

Application type: Mobile Titanium SDK:4.0.GA Platform & version:iOS 8 xcode 6 Device :iPad Host OS:iOS

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
