Data Editor - Text Editor
The Data Editor allows you to view and edit the contents of text fields.
ValentinaDB stores text internally using UTF-16. If you copy-paste the text into the Text Editor text field such as UTF-8, it is automatically converted internally to UTF-16.
Like other editors it can work in different modes:
- Inline
- Popup
- Modal dialog
Short text can be edited using an inline editor:
After starting editing it becomes wider to fit more text.
For quick editing of longer texts, a popup mode can be initiated using a small button below the bottom-right corner of the cell.
- Set NULL changes the value to NULL
- Change applies to changes. It is necessary to confirm the change made to the cell value.
A modal dialog is used for complex editing tasks, it is shown either by double-clicking the cell or using the Content Editor button.
For example, if it is necessary to switch multiple times to different applications and copy&paste information a modal mode is more suitable.
