Users interact with the following text controls:
Label |
 |
A label displays data, but does not
allow the user to change it. In some environments, a label might
be called a static text field, read-only message, or a read-only
text field. An
example of a label would be an age that is calculated from a birth
date.
For more information, see the Label
reference page.
Text-Entry Field |
|
A text-entry field, sometimes known
as a “text field” or “entry field,” is
an area where the user enters alphanumeric text within a specific
boundary. The
user can type one or more lines in a text-entry field, depending
upon the information that the object or application needs. Multiline
text can have both horizontal and vertical scroll bars for moving
the text up, down, and across the field.
For more information, see the Text-Entry
Field (Control) reference page.
Text-Display Field |
|
The user uses the text-display field
to display or select only text; the user cannot edit the text. There
are single-line and multiple-line variants. Multiline text can have
both horizontal and vertical scroll bars for scrolling the text
up, down, and across the field.
For more information, see the Text-Display
Field (Control) reference page.
