Using Edit Boxes and Long Edit Boxes

This topic discusses information related to applying various options to edit boxes or long edit boxes.

When you insert edit boxes and long edit boxes on a page, they appear with the default label, Dummy Name, until you specify a record and field for them or until you specify a text type field label. The space between the edit box label and the control is more than required: PeopleSoft Application Designer provides 25 percent extra space for the edit box label for translation purposes.

You control source data, labels, and how the control is used in the respective edit box and long edit box properties dialog boxes in PeopleSoft Application Designer. The settings for these two controls are mostly the same.
