  • OnLostFocus (default) — The editor value is updated after the editor loses focus.
  • OnInput — The editor value is updated whenever a user types.
  • OnDelayedInput — The editor value is updated with a delay after a user makes changes.

Custom Size

The Memo component is a multi-line editor that stretches to fit the parent container's width, by default. To change this behavior, use the following properties:

  • Rows — Specifies the number of text lines displayed by the editor.
  • Columns — Specifies the editor's display width in characters.

Resize Modes

Memo supports different resize modes that are specified by the ResizeMode property:

  • Vertical (Default) — Users can only change the component height.
  • Horizontal — Users can only change the component width.
  • VerticalAndHorizontal — Users can change both the component height and width.
  • Disabled — Users are not allowed to resize the component.

To apply different resize modes, use the Resize Mode drop-down list below.

Clear Button and Placeholder

Set the ClearButtonDisplayMode property to Auto to display the Clear button in the editor when it is not empty. Use the NullText property to specify placeholder text that should be displayed when the editor is empty.
