Text Input Box Properties dialog box – Text Input Box Settings tab
Develop > Database > Field > Text Input Box – Text Input Box tab
This dialog box lets you add or configure a text input field in an input block or a modification block.
Target field
Select the database field corresponding to the text input field. The drop-down menu lists all the eligible fields among those you selected in the Database Fields step of the Database Wizard. Only fields that have the text data type or the string data type are eligible.
Although it is possible to type a field name into the text box, do not enter the name of a non-text field. If you do so, the input form will not work.
Default value
If desired, enter a default value for the text input field.
If the text input field is in an input block, you can select a parameter that will supply the default value. Click the … button to select a parameter from among the parameters that have been defined in Parameters tab of the Document Header Properties dialog box.
If the text input field is in a modification block, the default value can be supplied from a text-format database field among the fields you selected in the Database Fields step of the Database Wizard. The value contained in that field for the selected record will be used as the default value of the text input field when the document is displayed in a browser. Click the … button to select a database field.
Number of lines
Specify the height of the text input field, in number of lines.
Width (characters)
Specify the width of the input field, in characters.
