Detailed Description of Text Field Tpyes in Axure RP

Introduction

Text field is a control we often use. In Axure, it has many types. The text field can not only be used as a text box, but also be set to date format, time format, file format...

Text

Application scenario: for example, if you need to enter a user's nickname when designing the new user feature, you can use the text field to set the hint text;

text input

Drag a "text field" control from the widget library. The default input type of the text box is "text". If you need to set the hint text, the hint text disappears when you enter the text. You can set it in interaction - hint text, such as "please enter user nickname".

If the hint text disappears when the mouse clicks the control, select "Focus" in [Hint Text].
