Description

Text field: This option is used to insert one or more lines of text. If the box contains a password, the entered characters can be hidden when entering.

Button field: This option is a button with a label. The button can perform various actions, including sending the form values to a website or resetting other form fields.

If the form values are transferred to a website, the HTTP POST method is always used. Parameter pairs are created from the form fields in the process. The key of a parameter is always the name of the respective form field, and the value of a parameter corresponds to the current content of the form field. If, for example, the word "softmaker" is entered in a text box named "company", the corresponding parameter "company=softmaker" will be created during the transmission.

Checkbox: They are appropriate for Yes/No entries. If the user clicks on a checkbox, it will be set with a check mark. If he clicks on it again, the check mark will be removed again.

Combo box: This option represents a list of choices. You can allow users to enter their own value that is not included in the list.

Radio button: These buttons can be used in forms to select one of several options. Radio buttons are automatically grouped. Only one radio button can be enabled for each group. To assign a radio button to another group, double-click on it and select a different group from the General tab.

List box: This option is similar to the combo box, but it allows you to select multiple entries. However, users cannot enter their own values here.
