Configure Message Fields

Use a message control to allow users to enter a simple message to your web form.

1. From the Basic Palette, drag and drop a Message control onto the canvas.
2. Select the control and edit its properties on the Properties pane's General tab.

   Field	Description
   Name	An internal identifier that you will use to identify the control.
   Binding	Defines a link between the control and a data attribute.
   Computed Value	Set this property to apply a computation to the control. See Create Computed Controls.
   Default Text	The default text message that will appear to users when the form loads. You can use inline HTML tags to format the default text. Before using, you have to select Inline HTML from the Type drop-down list.
   Type	Sets the style and format in which the message displays. For example, as a bold heading or as a paragraph text. Note that predefined message types such as Error, Info, Success, and Warning are available for selection. These message types have their unique style and format, so that the user can easily identify if the message is an error, info, success, or warning. Select Inline HTML if you want to use inline HTML tags to format the default text message that displays when the form loads.
   Events	Specifies events that trigger actions and conditions. You can customize the control’s behavior by configuring events. See Add Dynamic Behavior to Forms.

3. On the Styling tab, edit the control's styling properties.
4. Click Preview to try out using the control.
