Textbox

Textbox A typical text box is a rectangle of any size, possibly with a border that separates the text box from the rest of the interface. Text boxes may contain zero, one, or two [|scrollbars]. Some text boxes may display a blinking vertical line (known as a [|caret]), indicating the current region of text being edited. It is common for the [|mouse] [|cursor] to change its shape when it hovers over a text box.
 * media type="custom" key="7432513"A text box**, **text field** or **text entry box** is a common element of [|graphical user interface] ([|GUI]) of computer programs, as well as the corresponding type of [|widget] used when programming GUIs. A text box's purpose is to allow the user to input text information to be used by the program. [|User-interface guidelines] recommend a single-line text box when only one line of input is required, and a multi-line text box only if more than one line of input may be required. Non-editable text boxes can serve the purpose of simply displaying text.
