Input

Inputs allow you to add enterable or non-enterable expressions such as database fields and variables to your forms. Inputs can handle character-based data (text, dates, numbers...) or pictures:

Inputs can contain assignable or non-assignable expressions.

In addition, inputs can be enterable or non-enterable. An enterable input accepts data. You can set data entry controls for the object. A non-enterable input can only display values but cannot be edited by the user.

You can manage the data with object or form methods.
