FormattedTextEdit 

A FormattedTextEdit UI Element represents an edit box for formatted text. User input is automatically transformed into the corresponding tags. The user has the following subset of formatting options:

• 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.

• showFormattingOptions

  Specifies whether the toolbar with the formatting options is displayed.

• 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.

  inherit	The text direction is inherited from the parent element. The text direction is therefore identical to that of the parent element.
  ltr	The text runs from left to right.
  rtl	The text runs from right to left.

  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.

• onChange

  This event is triggered when the FormattedTextEditloses focus and the value has been changed.
