- Create a Form definition called “TextAreaWidgetDef”
- Drag a “BootstrapGrid, Label, Text Area, Submit” control to the canvas and arrange them as shown below.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Settings” properties. Provide a name for the control and overlay text for the placeholder. Provide the default text value. Select the checkbox “Required” for mandatory input. Select the checkbox to hide the control and make it read-only during runtime. Provide the value to accept the maximum characters or words. Click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Styling” properties. Provide the syntax for the CSS styles. Select the classes to apply from the global drop-down list. Click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Other” properties. Provide the tool tip text information. Click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text Area” widget to configure the “Globalize” properties. The application will alert you if there is nothing to globalize. Otherwise, select the language from the drop-down list and click the Translate button. Click the Save button.
- Save the Form definition. Select Actions - Create Form Instance menu option. Generate a new Form instance and select the check box to edit this Form instance.
- The Form is rendered to the user with the default text value. Provide the user input. Text information exceeding 100 words is not accepted due to configuration limitations. Click the Submit button to complete.
