Token Editors

A token editor is a control designed to display and manage lists of predefined and custom tokens in your application, including, but not limited to, tags, category names, and email addresses. Editor entries are clickable boxes that can display text, and optionally, images and hints associated with specific tokens.

With a token editor, end-users are able to do the following:

  • Enter a predefined or custom token to the editor by typing the corresponding token ID or displayed text. Depending on the current lookup settings, token editors can suggest predefined tokens in a drop-down list according to the text entered by an end-user;

  • Edit an entered token by using an in-place editor that can be activated by double-clicking the corresponding token box;

  • Remove the last entered token by pressing the Backspace key;

  • Remove any token by clicking its Close glyph (if displayed).

Token editors include the TdxTokenEdit and TdxDBTokenEdit components.
