Editors

By a text editor enabled the user can view multiple lines of a text item concurrently, replace and search text in it, and commonly modify the value of an item from this separate window.

You could use one of three editors at run time:

- Form Builder default editor
- User-named default editor
- System editor

Each text item has the default editor available, but you can design your own replacement editor for those items which have special needs such as larger editing, window, color, position and title.

Through overriding the default editor for a text item, you could provide a larger editing window for items with potentially huge textual valued. Possibly, use an external system editor.

Editor at Run Time

With the cursor in the text item to be edited just follow these steps:
1.    Press the (Edit) key, or select Edit→    Edit to invoke the attached editor.
2.    Edit the text in the Editor window. Form Builder editors give a Search button which invokes an additional search-and-replace dialog box for manipulating text
3.    Click OK to write your changes back to the text item.
