TcxTextEdit Object

To obtain or set the text displayed in the component, use the Text property. The Properties.MaxLength property lets you limit the length of text that can be inputted into the component. To prevent a user from modifying the component’s text, use the Properties.ReadOnly property.

The TcxTextEdit component provides an automatic completion feature. When a user is typing text, the component adds a predefined string that starts with the inputted character. The list of automatically added strings is specified by the Properties.LookupItems property.

It is possible to mask the text inputted into the text box, for example, to input passwords. To enable masking, set the Properties.EchoMode property to “eemPassword” and specify the masking character in the Properties.PasswordChar property.

The TcxTextEdit component raises a number of events that you can process in your scripts. For example, you can create an event handler for the OnChange event to perform specific actions when the component’s text is changed.
