VAText

The VAText control displays and allows a user to edit the value of a field.

The data source for a VAText Control is determined by the setting of the VAccessName property.

The field source is bound by setting the VAFieldName property to the name of a field in the data source.

As with other bound controls, changes made in the text box are reflected in the data buffer in memory but are not written to the file until an update or insert operation is performed on the current record.

If the VASearch property of the text box is True, changes in the text box will cause a repositioning of the current record using the value of the text in the text box as the first segment of the current index. You may use a text box in search mode in conjunction with a VAList in record list mode to implement a record browser or lookup table.
