Configure Message Fields

Use a message control to allow users to enter a simple message to your form.

  1. From the Basic palette, drag and drop a Message control onto the canvas.
  2. Select the control and use the General tab in the Properties pane to configure the following:
    Field Description

    Name

    An internal identifier that you will use to identify the control.

    Binding

    Defines a link between the control and a data attribute.

    Default Text

    The default text message that will appear to users when the form loads.

    You can use inline HTML tags to format the default text. Before using, you have to select Inline HTML from the Type drop-down list.

    Type

    Sets the style and format in which the message displays. For example, as a bold heading or as a paragraph text.

    Note that predefined message types such as Error, Info, Success, and Warning are available for selection. These message types have their unique style and format, so that the user can easily identify if the message is an error, info, success, or warning.

    Select Inline HTML if you want to use inline HTML tags to format the default text message that displays when the form loads.

    Hide

    Select this property to hide the control.
  3. Use the Styling tab in the Properties pane to modify the control’s appearance as needed. See Styling Properties.
