Text Input is used to write value to a PV and display the readback PV value. It does not supports multi-line text. It supports parsing String as a Double or Long Integer array.
If setting its
Style
property to native, it will use the native text widget provided by the operating system, so it can support native border looking, password
input, Tab traverse and selecting text at Runtime.

key to abort editing. If there is no
PV Name
set for the widget, lost focus or clicking other place on the OPI will set the text. If
PV Name
is set, it requires explicitly hitting
Enter
or
Ctrl+Enter
to write the PV. If
Multi-line Input
property is
no
, press
Enter
key to submit text. If
Multi-line Input
property is
yes
, press
Ctrl+Enter
to submit text.
Note: Even if you did not change the text, press
Enter
or
Ctrl+Enter
will still write the text to PV.
If the
Format Type
is not
String
, it allows to write numeric array to numeric array PV with text format like
13 22 33 24
.
Besides its own special properties, the widget has all the special properties of TextUpdate.
