• Description

  TextBox

  Users enter a text in a field component of text. The value of the initial text or entered by the user into a text field component is found in the property text.
  If the text is blank, you can use the 'Hint' property to provide the user a suggestion on what to write. The text 'Hint' appears with a weaker color intensity than normal text in the field.
  
  The 'Multi-line' property determines whether the text can have more than one line. For a single-line text field, the keyboard will close automatically when the user press the 'Done' key. To close the keyboard in the text fields of multiple lines, the application must use the 'Hide keyboard' method or depend on the user to press the Back key.
  The 'Numbers Only' property restricts the keyboard to accept only numeric entries. Other properties affect the appearance of the text field (Alignment of text, background color, etc.).
  
  Text fields are generally used with the Button component, and the user does Click on the button when the text entry is completed. If the text entered by the user should not be displayed, you can use the component 'Password text field' instead.
