Typing text into a control

Forms Designer offers three controls that allow users to type text into a control.

  • Text
  • Text Area
  • HTML Editor

You can determine which of these controls to use by the amount and formatting of the text you want users to type.

If you want users to type a single line of unformatted text, then use a Text control. See Combo Box.

If you want users to type in multiple lines of unformatted text, then use a Text Area control. See Comfill.

If you want users to type in any amount of HTML-formatted text, then use an HTML Editor control. See HTML Editor.
