icon Text Input

The Text Input object is an app layout object found in the input toolbox.

 

Details

 

The Text Input object can be used on an app to capture data entered manually by an app user or dynamically using behavior. Once captured, that data can be displayed to and/or modified by other users who view the app instance.

 

By default any type of data can be entered in a Text Input object but restrictions can be applied by using the format option in the object properties.

 

Data may also be entered, or modified, in a Text Input object dynamically using the Set Field and Copy Fields behavior commands along with the more advanced behaviors Connect, Connect and Search, Get Field From Other Instance and Set Field In Other Instance.

 

Data will be captured on a single line. App users will be able to scroll horizontally to see any text that is not visible on screen.

(See also the Multiline Text Input object.)

 

Data in a Text Input object can be encrypted in the database.

 

The object is compatible with JAWS version 2018.
