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.

JSON Example:

	"myText": {
		"type": "input",	//define the type of object
		"spellcheck": true,	//enable spelling verification
		"left": 60,			//left position on the form  
		"top": 160,			//top position on the form 
		"width": 100,		//width of the object
		"height": 20		//height of the object
		}

Input alternatives

You can also represent field and variable expressions in your forms using alternative objects, more particularly:

• You can display and enter data from database fields directly in columns of selection type List boxes.
• You can represent a list field or variable directly in a form using Pop-up Menus/Drop-down Lists and Combo Boxes objects.
• You can represent a boolean expression as a check box or as a radio button object.
