Input Fields are places where users can type. This can make them useful for making things like notecards, RPG character sheets, and more.

Most of the options here should be fairly self-explanatory:

• Max Length defines the field’s character limit.
• Transparent Background removes the backer behind the text (useful if you’d rather use a Border instead of the default backer).
• Multi-Line allows users to input more than one line of text
  • If you select “Multi-Line”, the “Auto-Wrap” option will become available. This will only work if you’ve defined the size of the Input Field via a Layout Box or an image Border. (See Borders and Layout Boxes.)
• Select All on Focus – Causes all text to be selected when the user clicks the field. Not available for multi-line boxes.
• Input Type – Offers the option to limit the field to displaying only numbers of various types. Not available for multi-line boxes.

You should almost always define the size of your input field using a Layout Box or Border. If you don’t, the field will grow or shrink as users type in it, which is likely to cause usability issues.

Note: In the API, Input Fields are referred to as “TextBox” and “MultilineTextBox.”
