TEXT_EDIT_BOX

Description

This widget lets the end user enter text in a box to modify the content of a string object.

Remark: you can change the text properties of this widget just like for any other cell. (Note that in v1.4 only it does not inherit the current cell properties and uses the default system font instead)
