TextBox control

Displays information from a user or from an organized set of data.

Remarks

A TextBox is the control most commonly used to display information entered by a user. Also, it can display a set of data, such as a table, query, worksheet, or a calculation result.

If a TextBox is bound to a data source, changing the contents of the TextBox also changes the value of the bound data source.

Formatting applied to any piece of text in a TextBox will affect all text in the control. For example, if you change the font or point size of any character in the control, the change will affect all characters in the control.

The default property for a TextBox is the Value property. The default event for a TextBox is the Change event.
