HTMLTextBox

#HTMLTextBox

This object is a client-side WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editor that allows HTML output by formatting text and visual content. It has special functions for creating texts in rich text format.

While the active screen is a form in the authoring interface, the Toolbox panel lists form objects. The object is added to the form by drag/drop from the toolbox panel.

HTMLTextBox

Clicking on the object displays the "General" and "Events" tabs in the Property Viewer panel, and the properties of the object can be viewed and edited. The inheritance scheme by which the properties of the object are transferred is as follows;

General

Design

'Name' - The name of the object to be used by the system. Inside another object and on the code side, the object is accessed by the value written in the namespace.

Caption

'Title' - The part where the label text of the object is edited.

'Position' - The part of the object label that regulates whether it is positioned on the left, right or above the object.

>Choices Available : Left, Right, Top, Bottom

'Width' - This is where the width of the label field is set.

'Height' - This is the part where the height of the label field is set.

'Font' - The part of the text in the label area where the font, font, font size and color are set.

'Ellipsis' - The portion where the label text is set to appear for the part of the text that does not fit, whether the ellipsis (...) appears.

'Visible' - The part where the label field is set to be hidden or visible.

'Show Colon' - Colon next to label text (:) is the part where the expression is set to appear or not.

'Horizontal Align' - Label text; This is the portion where right-just, left-just, or center-justify settings are performed.

>Choices Can Be Made: Left, Center, Right

'Vertical Align' - Label text; This is the portion where the Justify, Snap Down, or Center settings are performed.

>Choices Available : Top, Middle, Bottom

'Mark Char' - To make the object stand out, enter *, ! is the area where characters such as can be entered.

'Mark Position' - The part where the character designated as the mark character is set to be shown at the beginning or end of the label text.

>Choices Can Be Made: AtFirst, AtLast

Appearance

'Visible' - This is the part where the object is hidden and made visible. When this field is active, the object is visible on the form. When the field is made passive, the object becomes invisible.

'Client Visible' - When the object is not visible when the form is first opened, when it is desired to make the object visible, to make the object visible when a certain condition is met, this field is made passive so that the object is invisible on the client side. When the condition set by the code or the Rules Manager is met, the object can be made visible again. When server visibility is inactive, the client cannot intervene, but the server can intervene when client visibility is inactive.

'Enabled' - The active mode of the object is set from this field. When this feature is active, data entry can be provided to the object and the object can be edited. When the feature is passive, the object is in non-editable mode and appears passive.

'Client Enabled' - When the form is first opened, the object is not active, when a certain condition is met, etc., this field is made inactive so that the object is not active on the client side. Once the condition set by the code or the Rules Manager is met, the object can be activated again. When server activity is inactive, the client cannot intervene, but the server can intervene when client activity is inactive.

'Background Color' - The area used to give the object a background color.

'Title' - Hovering over the object with the cursor while the form is open in the interface, the text typed in this field is shown as a hint. It is a feature used to direct the end user when detailed information about the object is desired.

'ClassName' - The field in which the object visibility can be changed by defining a class written in the CSS file of the form.

'Placeholder' - A property used to display the data information requested to be entered by the end user into the object for informational purposes within the object. When the end user views the object, they see the referring text typed in this field, and the router text disappears when they focus on the object and begin entering values.

'Enable Multilanguage Text' - The area where data entry to the object in multiple languages is possible. When activated, the multi-language button is displayed on the object, allowing the user to enter data for more than one language.

'Text' - The content value of the object. When the form is opened in the web interface, the text typed in this field appears as default text within the object. It works with the Enable Multilanguage Text feature, if the feature is active, the button for writing a multi-language expression will appear in the Text feature.

'Show Character Counter' - is activated if you want to show how many characters the expression written in the object is. When activated, a counter is visible showing the length of the expression entered.

Behavior

'ReadOnly' - This is where the object is set to be in edit mode. When this feature is enabled, the object does not allow data entry, it is in read-only mode. The property must be passive for data entry to be allowed into the object.

'Tab Index' - By entering numeric values in this field, it is determined in which order the tab button is pressed to focus between the form objects. When filling out the form, instead of clicking the cursor on the object where the data is to be entered, the tab button is pressed to focus directly on the indexed objects in a certain order. This is a feature that increases the speed of filling out forms.

'Required' - The field in which it is determined whether data entry is required on the object. When this feature is activated, it is not possible to advance/save the form without entering data into the object.

'Height' - The area where the object height is defined. Based on the value entered, the height of the object will change in pixel type.

'Toolbar Type' - The number of operations that can be used in the toolbar within the object varies from this field. While the simplest toolbar is shown with the Basic selection, the buttons for the operations to be performed on the object change when the Rich selection is made.

>Possible Choices : Basic, Standard, Rich

'Toolbar Bottom' - This is the feature that should be activated when you want the toolbar to be positioned at the bottom of the object.

'Char Counter Max' - The area where the maximum number of characters to be entered into the object is defined. The Show Character can be used in conjunction with the Counter property to show how many characters have been typed/how many characters can be written in total.

Data Definition Language

'Field Name' - The field in the database of the system that determines the name of the column it will create for the object. In the "Name" section, the object can be given another name and the column name to be created for the object in the database table can be created as a different name.

'Allow Null' - This section indicates whether the database field to be created for the object will allow null values.

Events

The events owned by the object are located in the "Events" tab in the Property Viewer panel. Each event is triggered at different runtime moments, performing its own unique operations. Code written by the developer to these events is also executed at the time the corresponding event is triggered.

When the events in the "Client" field are double-clicked, the screen is directed to the form code editor section called "Formedi.ts" where TypeScript coding can be done and the method block for the clicked event is automatically created.

When the events in the "Server" field are double-clicked, the screen is directed to the form code editor section called "Formadı.cs" where C# coding can be done and the method block for the clicked event is automatically created.

The developer can construct any code block within these methods. Next to the event whose method is created on the code side by clicking from the Events tab, the method name information is automatically generated and the relationship between the event and the method is specified.
