Description of UI Element Properties
● height
Determines the height of the FormattedTextEdit, that you can specify in relative CSS units like em or ex.
● imeMode
An Input Method Editor (IME) allows users to enter and edit Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. The IME is an essential component for writing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts. These writing systems have more characters than can be encoded for a regular keyboard. The IMEs for these languages use sequences of base characters that describe an individual character or group of characters to enter a larger set of characters. Base characters can be component letters from Hangul syllables, phonetic components for Japanese Kanji characters, or various combinations for Chinese characters.
To compose text with an IME, the user generally uses dictionary lookup and contextual analysis, especially in languages where homonyms are frequent, like Japanese. A user typically starts by entering a few component characters, optionally selecting from various choices, and a confirmation command.
Property imeMode can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDIMEMode:
¡ auto (default)
¡ active
¡ inactive
¡ disabled
● readOnly
Specifies whether the FormattedTextEdit can be edited or read only. If the value is true, the displayed text can be read but is write-protected.
● textDirection
Specifies the text direction and allows you to use input fields for texts in languages that require a specific text direction. The textDirection property can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTextDirection.
The text direction is inherited from the parent element. The text direction is therefore identical to that of the parent element. |
|
The default is inherit.
● value
Specifies the formatted text displayed in the FormattedTextEdit. This property must be bound to a context attribute of type FormattedText.
● width
Determines the width of the FormattedTextEdit and can be specified in CSS sizes, such as em, ex, pixels or percentage values.
