Password
This widget helps the users to securely type in the text they want to enter. The string typed on this component is displayed as an asterisk set of characters.
Basic
Default Value
Enter the default string to be displayed when the widget is loaded. This can also be retrieved from the backend using query or loaded using low-code. This string is displayed as password characters on load.
Placeholder
Specifies a hint that describes the expected value. The placeholder shows the hint text in the widget when nothing is selected or entered. This text disappears as soon as a value is entered in the control.
Label
Represents the caption for the widget in the user interface. It is recommended to keep the label string short and convey the usage of the widget in the UI
Tooltip
This tooltip pops up when the user moves the mouse over the label area of the widget. This is commonly used to provide some extra or important information to the user on the usage of the widget.
The tooltip will be immediately shown when the user's mouse hovers over the widget, and immediately hides when the user's mouse leaves. This information will be contextual, useful, and informative.

Validation
Required Field
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.
Regex
Regular expression to validate if the entered input string matches the criteria. Regular expressions allow users to check a string of characters like an e-mail address or password for patterns to see if they match the pattern defined by that regular expression and produce actionable information. For example - consider this regex:
?=.*[0-9] means that the password must contain a single digit from 1 to 9.
(?=.*[a-z]) means that the password must contain one lowercase letter.
(?=.*[A-Z]) means that the password must contain one uppercase letter.
(?=.*\W) means that the password must contain one special character.
.{8,16} means that the password must be 8-16 characters long. We must use this at the end of the regex, just before the $ symbol.
Minimum Length
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.
Maximum Length
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.
Custom Rule
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.

Accent | An accent is a typically bright colour that contrasts with the more utilitarian background and foreground colours within a colour scheme.

On the web, an accent is sometimes used in input elements for the active portion of the control, for instance, the background of a checked checkbox. MSDN web docs |

Box Shadow | The is the colour of the shadow that is generated behind the widget box. The X and Y axis values can be altered such that the shadow can be set to fall anywhere behind the widget area. "x-offset" - a positive number specifies the shadow will be on the right of the box, and a negative number will put the shadow on the left of the box. "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. |
