Text Box
- 2 minutes to read
The BootstrapTextBox is a single-line text editor.
Bootstrap Text Box offers the following features:
Data-Bound Mode
The Bootstrap Text Box control can be bound to data using standard data-binding expressions. Editors can be bound to specific data field values and submit data changes made within the editor back to the database.
Null Prompt Text
The prompt text can be displayed if the editor’s value is null and the editor is not focused. The prompt text disappears when the editor receives focus. You can define the prompt text via the ASPxTextBox.NullText property.
Masked Input
The Bootstrap Text Box editor allows you to use masks during editing. Masks are useful when a string entered by an end-user into an editor should match a specific format. Additionally, a specific mask hint can be displayed for some mask types, informing end-users about allowed input values. You can customize mask settings via the ASPxTextBox.MaskSettings property.
Display Formatting
You can format display values using the ASPxTextEdit.DisplayFormatString property.
Built-in Validation
The Bootstrap Text Box control allows you to perform data validation both on the client and server side.
Full-Featured Client-Side API
Bootstrap Text Box provides you with a comprehensive client-side API. This API is implemented using JavaScript and is exposed via the BootstrapClientTextBox object. The BootstrapTextBox object serves as a client-side equivalent of the BootstrapTextBox control.
