Inserting a MessageStyledText

To insert a messageStyledText component:

In the Design Structure Window of the desired file, locate the node in which you wish to insert a messageStyledText component.
In the Component Palette, select Miscellaneous Components from the dropdown list, and then drag and drop the messageStyledText component to the parent node of your choice.
The messageStyledText node is inserted and highlighted under the expanded parent node.
In the Property Inspector, set the following attributes for the messageStyledText component:
- prompt - Enter the prompt text that displays before the text field.
- text - Enter the text to display after the prompt.
- destination - Enter the URI that the text should reference.
- labeledNodeId - Enter the id of the component that this message form component is acting as a label for.
- primaryClientAction - Enter the clientAction to fire. In the right column, click the icon to enter a ClientAction. See Editing the PrimaryClientAction Attribute for details. Alternatively, use the Advanced tab to enter an EL syntax data binding expression or use the Bind to Data dialog to select a data source for this complex attribute.
- textAndAccessKey - Use this attribute to set both the text and access key, using conventional ampersand ('&') notation. For example, setting this attribute to 'T&ext' will set the text to "Text" and the access key to "e".
- truncateAt - This is the length at which the text should be automatically truncated. Enter a value greater than or equal to 13. UIX does not truncate strings that are shorter than 13 characters. Default is zero (no truncation).
To insert any indexed child component into messageStyledText, do the following:
1. In the Component Palette, drag and drop any component to the messageStyledText node in the Design Structure Window.
2. In the Property Inspector, set the attributes for the child component you inserted.

Note: To use data binding, see Data Binding a Component Attribute.
