Text Field

Text fields automatically convert to a graphical text control. These objects are similar to graphical on-line help. Text fields are not cached on the client. Each time a text field is invoked by the host a graphical text control is created for the client.

Changes made on the client are updated to the data files on the host. To preserve the column and row format required for a character text, a fixed font is used when editing text fields within the graphical text control.

With this editor you can place text onto the clipboard for placement in other applications. You can also place text from other applications onto the clipboard, and then place them in the text editor window.

Text fields use the same font settings as on-line Help.
