Skyway Text Area

Description

Similar to the Skyway Textbox web control, the Skyway Text Area control is a Skyway Form element that binds a variable to a multi-line textbox on a web page. Unlike the textbox, the Text Area control includes a scroll bar and is used to display larger sets of data. At runtime, if the text area variable has been initialized, the value of the variable is displayed in the web control. Additionally, when a form containing a text area is submitted at runtime, the user input is stored back to the bound variable.

 

Setting Parameters

 

 

Required

Select Variable

The variable bound to the Skyway Text Area. Only valid variables from the current Web Model are enabled in the Variable dropdown. Once a selection is made, the data type of the selected variable is displayed in the read-only Type field below the selected variable name. The default width of the Skyway Text Area depends on the user's browser; however, if you would like to customize the width of the web control, enter the desired width in the Width in Characters field. Additionally, you may customize the number of rows displayed in the web control using the Number of Lines field.

 

Optional

Select Editable Conditions

Use this panel to set conditional parameters (using model variables) that determine whether the control is editable or read-only when rendered.
