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.
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:
^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]{7,29}$
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.
Label

Box Shadow

"y-offset" - a negative one means the shadow will be above the box, and a positive number means the shadow will be below the box. "Blur" - if the number is set to 0 then the shadow will be sharp. It will more blurred as the number goes higher, and the shadow will extend further away. "Color" - sets the colour of the shadow. If the colour is not set, the box shadows are drawn in the foreground colour.

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.
