yTextbox
Description
The yTextbox component serves as a powerful tool primarily designed for displaying longer text information within your application. It's an element that allows only static content. The yTextbox basically can be used to store text information that goes beyond the context of a simple label.
Basic Structure
In the following the basic structure of the yTextbox shall be explained. For the general structure of a yComponent please visit the
YBase-components basic-structure.The yTextbox as seen above contains nothing but text as the content.
Content
The content contains the actual text itself. It can be seen as an equivalent to the label of the
yLabel. You can find further explanation at the [Content Property](#style--content).Properties
Through its various properties the yTextbox can be configured to suit your needs. The display below provides you with an overview of all the yTextbox properties.
Properties can be changed directly through three methods:
- Inside the Toolbar, which is positioned in your workarea next to your component where you need it. It shows the most important properties, thus providing a fast and efficient way to configure your component in the most basic way.
- It may also occur in the Toolbar Extension, which is a seamless extension accesible as a dropdown item of the Toolbar. It extends the functionality of the Toolbar by providing advanced pickers for most used properties.
- Inside the Detail Panel, which is located in the righthand drawer. Every property of a component can be configured here.
- Generic
- Style
- Events
