You create a text by creating an instance of the NTextBox class. The following code snippet creates a text box:

NTextBox textBox = new NTextBox();
textBox.Text = "Some Text";

• Text - specifies the text displayed by the text box

• Hint - specifies text that is displayed by the text box when the text box Text property does not contain characters. You can use this property to prompt the user that he or she must input some specific text inside the text box. The following code example shows how to use this property:

  Using the Hint Property	Copy Code
  NTextBox textBox = new NTextBox(); textBox.Hint = "Type Address Here";

• HintFill - specifies the filling used for the Hint text.

• TextAlign - specifies how each line of text is aligned relative to the text box content area. The following table lists the available options:

  ENTextHorzAlign	Description
  Left	Each text line is left aligned to the content area
  Center	Each text line is center aligned to the content area
  Right	Each text line is right aligned to the content area

• TextAlignment - specifies how text is aligned relative to the text box bounding box. This property accepts values from the ENContentAlignment enum.

• Multiline - specifies whether the text should display multi line text

• WordWrap - specifies whether lines are automatically word wrapped when multiline is enabled

• AcceptsTab - specifies whether tab characters are accepted as input.

• AcceptsEnter - specifies whether return characters are accepted as input.

• ReadOnly - specifies whether text is read only. In read only mode user is not allowed to alter the text.

• PasswordChar - specifies a password char. When the password char is set to any value different than 0 the control will enter in password mode and display that character repeatedly to match the length of the text input by the user. Clipboard copy is disabled when the control is in password mode.

• MaxLength - the maximum length of the text accepted by this text box. By default set to Int32.MaxValue.

• CharacterCasing - specifies the current character casing. The following table lists the available options:

  ENCharacterCasing	Description
  Normal	Characters retain their original casing.
  UpperCase	All characters are converted to upper case.
  LowerCase	All characters are converted to lower case.

• VScrollMode and HScrollMode - those two properties control when the horizontal and vertical scrollbars area visible. The following table lists the available options:

  ENScrollMode	Description
  Never	The scrollbar are is never visible.
  Always	The scrolling is always visible and enabled only when needed.
  WhenNeeded	The scrollbar is visible and enabled only when needed (when text content size exceeds the bounds of the text box).

  The following code snippet shows how to create a multiline, scrollable text box:

  Creating a Multiline, Scrollable Textbox	Copy Code
  NTextBox textBox = new NTextBox(); textBox.VScrollMode = ENScrollMode.Always; textBox.HScrollMode = ENScrollMode.Always; textBox.Multiline = true; textBox.AcceptsEnter = true;
