Example:
Let’s build and execute the “TextAreaWidgetDef” example.
- Create a Form Definition called “TextAreaWidgetDef.”
- Drag a “BootstrapGrid, Label, Text Area, Submit” control onto the canvas and arrange them as shown below.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a name for the control and placeholder text. Set the default text value. Select the checkbox to "Enable voice input". Check the “Required” box for mandatory input. Check the box to hide the control and make it read-only at runtime. Set the maximum number of characters or words. Click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Styling” properties. Enter the CSS syntax. Select the classes to apply from the global drop-down list. Click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Other” properties, then enter the tooltip text and click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Globalize” properties. The application will notify you if there is nothing to globalize. Otherwise, select the language from the drop-down list, then click the “Translate” button. You can overwrite the translated text with something more suitable for your style. Click the “Save Translation” button.
- Save the Form definition. Choose Actions > Create Form Instance from the menu. Generate a new Form Instance, then check the box to edit this Form Instance.
- The form is displayed to the user. Enter the user input. Click the “microphone” icon to use the microphone. Click the “clear” icon to remove the text. Text exceeding 25 words is not accepted due to configuration limits. Click the “Submit” button to finish.
- Select the culture flag to view the control in a globalized format.
