# TextArea ## `` - `wrap`: soft | hard | off - `focus`, `length`, `required`, `error-message`, `warning-message`, `success-message`, `value`, `default` - actions: error, success, valid, warning - events: Blur, Changed, ContextMenu, Enter, Focus, Invalid, Key, Release, Saved, Select, Updated, Valid - methods: activate, clear, execCommand, getSelectionLength, getSelectionValue, releaseEnter, search, searchAndReplace, setFont, takeEnter, wordWrap ```xml <panel type="rows" gap="6" padding="5"> <textarea name="wrapSoft" label="wrap="soft"" width="fill" height="40" wrap="soft" default="This is a long line that will wrap onto a second line inside the box."/> <textarea name="wrapOff" label="wrap="off"" width="fill" height="40" wrap="off" default="This is a long line that will scroll sideways instead of wrapping onto a second line."/> </panel> ``` ## Guidance - Text is committed on leaving the field, on Enter and on Ctrl/Cmd key combinations - not per key. - Bound: Changed fires at the first commit that changes the document (again only after a Saved), Saved when it is unchanged again. Unbound: Updated at each commit that changed the text. - `required`: left empty it goes to the error state and fires Invalid, then Valid once filled. - Size it with `height`; for code or XML use a codeeditor.
