12.1.2.1.1.29. Textbox (Single-Line, Multi-Line & Password)

Textbox controls are interactive elements that allow users to input, modify, and display text in forms.

There are three main types of textbox controls in the program: single-line, multi-line, and password.

1. Single-Line Textbox

A single-line textbox control allows users to input short pieces of text, such as names or email addresses. In the web application, it appears as a small, rectangular box that can only display one line of text at a time.

2. Multi-Line Textbox

A multi-line textbox control allows users to input longer pieces of text, such as a paragraphs or messages. In the web application, it appears as a larger rectangular box with a border that is designed to display multiple lines of text.

*Depending on the amount of text entered, a vertical scrollbar may appear on the side of the textbox to allow users to scroll through the contents.

3. Password Box

A password box control is a specialized type of single-line textbox that masks the text input by displaying dots instead of the actual characters. This is useful for entering passwords or other sensitive information that should not be visible to others.

*Users can easily add any of these controls to the design environment by dragging and dropping them from the toolbox. Users also have the flexibility to switch between textbox types at any point during the design process simply by selecting a different option from the corresponding dropdown in the textbox control properties.

When a textbox control is selected in the design environment, its associated properties are displayed in the Control Properties panel. For more information on these properties, click here.
