The **TextEdit** control is a multi-line text editor.

It allows the user to enter and edit the multiple lines of plain text with a useful collection of editing functions, including undo and redo, cut and paste, and drag and drop.

===== Properties =====

{{  :valentina:products:vstudio:picts:vs_forms_widgets_textedit_properties.png|Form Editor - TextEdit Properties}}

  * **Name** -- The name of the control.
  * **Text** -- The current text of the control.
  * **Read-Only** -- Defines whether the control is editable or not.

==== Widget ====

  * **Auto Fill Background** -- This property holds whether the control background is filled automatically.
  * **Enabled** -- Defines whether the control is enabled or not.
  * **Font** -- This property holds the font currently set for the control. The default depends on the system environment.

  * **Palette** -- This property describes the control's palette.

The palette is used by the control's style when rendering. The color roles from this palette are combined with the control's default palette to form the control's final palette.  The default depends on the system environment and may be different on different platforms. Control propagates explicit palette roles from parent to child. If you assign a brush or color to a specific role on a palette, that role will propagate to all the control's children, overriding any system defaults for that role.

  * **Tooltip** -- The tooltip text.

==== Layout Item ====

  * **Alignment** -- Defines both the horizontal and vertical alignment.
  * **Expand Horizontal** -- If ON the control is expanded horizontally.
  * **Expand Vertical** -- If ON the control is expanded vertically.

==== Size ====

  * **Width** -- The width of the control.
  * **Height** -- The height of the control.
