You can easily add a Text control during initialization of a form:
var form = new dhx.Form("form_container", {
rows: [
{
type: "text",
name: "text",
label: "text",
value: "I am a nice text"
}
]
});
You can provide the following attributes in the configuration object of a Text:
type | (string) the type of a control, set it to "text" |
inputType | (string) sets the type of an input: "text", "password", "number". Using the "number" type for the input sets the type of the value attribute to "number". Use the "password" value to specify a field for entering a password. |
name | (string) the name of a control |
id | (string) the id of a control, auto-generated if not set |
value | (string|number) the value of a text control |
width | (string|number|"content") the width of a control |
height | (string|number|"content") the height of a control |
padding | (string|number) sets padding between a cell and a border of the Text control |
css | (string) adds style classes to a control |
disabled | (boolean) defines whether a control is enabled (false) or disabled (true) |
hidden | (boolean) defines whether a control is hidden |
label | (string) specifies a label for a control |
labelWidth | (string|number) sets the width of the label of a control |
hiddenLabel | (boolean) invisible label that will be used to identify the input on the server side |

helpMessage | (string) adds a help message to a control |
preMessage | (string) a message that contains instructions for interacting with the control |
successMessage | (string) a message that appears in case of successful validation of the control value |
errorMessage | (string) a message that appears in case of error during validation of the control value |
You can manipulate a Text control by using methods (or events) of the object returned by the getItem() method.
For example, you can get the value of the control:
var value = form.getItem("text").getValue();

enable | enables a disabled Text control |
getProperties | returns an object with the available configuration attributes of the control |
getValue | returns the current value of a Text control |

isVisible | checks whether a Text control is visible on the page |
setProperties | allows changing available configuration attributes of the control dynamically |
setValue | sets the value for a Text control |

afterChangeProperties | fires after configuration attributes of the control have been changed dynamically |
afterHide | fires after a control is hidden |
