| The Text Box component offers a program a facility to display
a variable value, and offers an end-user a facility to enter
a value. Clich here for an overview of the differences and similarities between the various components that provide selection list and input box capabilities. |
If the property "display only" is set to true, it will not be possible for the end-user to modify the value in the text box. The program, however, may still make modifications to the value, and re-display its new value.
The events that are recognized for components of the type TextBox are: Create, Destroy, Enter, Exit, Modified, change, char, gotFocus, help, keyDown, keyUp and lostFocus.
The default property for a text box is Value.
