Using Edit Controls

Edit controls are interactive static controls.

They are rectangular areas that can be filled with text, modified, and cleared by the user or application. Edit controls are very useful as fields for data entry screens. They support the following operations:

• User text input
• Dynamic display of text (by the application)
• Cutting, copying, and pasting to the Clipboard
• Multiline editing (good for text editors)

See EXAMPLES\OWL\OWLAPI\VALIDATE for an edit controls example.
