| == Purpose ==
| |
| The ''text edit'' control displays multiple lines of text to the user and allow the user to enter unconstrained text. In contrast to a line edit that is used to enter only one line of text the text edit is the right control for more than one line.
| |
| | |
| == Examples ==
| |
| | |
| == Guidelines ==
| |
| === Is this the right control ===
| |
| * Use text edits for input of unconstrained text with more than one line.
| |
| * Do not use a text edit for input of a few words. Use a [[Projects/Usability/HIG/LineEdit|line edit]] to enter single lines of text.
| |
| === Behavior ===
| |
| * Do not make users scroll unnecessarily; size text boxes to eliminate the need for scrolling.
| |
| * Do not put horizontal scroll bars on multi-line text boxes.
| |
| === Appearance ===
| |
| * When disabling the text edit, also disable any associated labels and buttons.
| |
| * Label every text edit with a descriptive caption to the top left (cf. [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Alignment| alignment]]).
| |
| * Create a buddy relation so access keys are assigned.
