This tooltip pops up when the user moves the mouse over the input area of the widget. It is commonly used to hint at the type of input the user needs to provide.

Dynamically counts the number of characters entered in the widget input area and displays the count at the end of the widget area. This will help the user review the quantity of the content.
Displays a small 'x' type button at the end of the widget, which helps the user to clear out the previous entries and selections.
Makes the entire widget disabled, and denies users any action over the element. It is grayed out for users' view to show it is read-only.
Refers to the field that must be completed by the user, which means the field must be entered with a valid value before submitting the information.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
Text | Denotes the normal string of characters |
Denotes the string must be in the 'email address' format | |
URL | Denotes the string must be in the web address format |
Regex | Denotes the regular expression string and the value entered by the user must satisfy the regex format. For example - consider this regex:
This validates: (1) If the entered value starts with alphabets and not numbers (2) If the length of the string is more than 8 characters and less than 30 characters |
Enter the value for a minimum number of characters to be allowed, for example - 20. This means that the widget must have a minimum length of 20 characters to be entered by the user. The program will automatically validate the user input against the specified constraint. If the user input does not meet this constraint, it will show an error and the user will need to enter a valid value.
Enter the value for a maximum number of characters in the field, for example - 250. This means that the widget must not exceed the maximum length of 250 characters. The program will automatically validate the user input against the specified constraint. If the user input exceeds the limit, it stops the keyboard entry into the widget.
Apart from validating the entry using the regex rule, users can also use this property to write low-code and check other aspects. For example - check if the city selected in the previous field matches the desired value, throw a custom message to the user even before capturing the entry on this field.

The "Change" event is activated when the value of the widget is changed. When this event triggers, the associated action gets executed.
This event is triggered when the widget receives focus, meaning it becomes the active element that can accept user input.
This event occurs when the user shifts the focus out of the widget. This can happen in different scenarios, such as when a user clicks outside an input widget they were typing in or when the user tabs to another field.
This event will be triggered when the user finishes entering the input and shifts focus away.
