TextArea

This object, like the TextBox object, is used for data entry. Unlike a TextBox object, it is an object that is used to display text on more than one line when long text expressions are required.

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.

TextArea

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.

TextArea

TextArea

'TextAlign' - The field used to determine where to align the expression entered into the object. Left-align, center-align, right-align selections can be made.

>Choices Can Be Made: Left, Center, Right

'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 that shows what the maximum limit that can be entered on the entered expression/object is.

'Rows' - The area where the object height is determined. For example, if the value 5 is entered in the field, the object is initially sized to show data when 5 rows are loaded, which can be done by dragging the sizing pointer at the object corner if desired.

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.

'Size' - The size that the object will hold in the database field is determined in this field. Automatically retrieves the value entered in the MaxLenght field.

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.

Double-clicking on the events in the "Client" field redirects the screen to the form code editor named "Formadı.ts" where TypeScript coding can be done and the method block for the clicked event is automatically created.

Double-clicking on the events in the "Server" field redirects the screen to the form code editor named "Jersey.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.
