TextArea SAP SE A control that is used for multi-line input of text. <h3>Overview</h3> The text area is used to enter multiple lines of text. When empty, it can hold a placeholder similar to an {@link sap.m.Input input}. You can define the height and width of the text area and also determine specific behavior when handling long texts. <h3>Structure</h3> Parameters that determine the size: <ul> <li><code>rows</code> - Number of visible text lines (overruled by <code>height</code>, if both are set)</li> <li><code>cols</code> - Number of visible characters per line line (overruled by <code>width</code>, if both are set)</li> <li><code>height</code> - Height of the control</li> <li><code>width</code> - Width of the control</li> </ul> Parameters that determine the behavior: <ul> <li><code>growing</code> - The text area adjusts its size based on the content</li> <li><code>growingMaxLines</code> - Threshold for the <code>growing</code> property (shouldn't exceed the screen size)</li> <li><code>maxLength</code> - Maximum number of characters that can be entered in a text area</li> <li><code>wrapping</code> - The way the entered text is wrapped by the control</li> <li><code>showExceededText</code> - Determines how text beyond the <code>maxLength</code> length is handled</li> </ul> <h3>Usage</h3> <h4>When to use</h4> <ul> <li>You want to enter multiple lines of text.</li> <li>Always provide labels for a text area.</li> <li>A placeholder does not substitute a label.</li> </ul> <h3>Responsive Behavior</h3> <ul> <li>On smaller screens, you can scroll down the text area to see the entire text. To indicate that the text continues, the control shows only half of the last line.</li> <li>If you have a growing text area, have in mind that its maximum height should not exceed the height of the screen. If that is the case, the screen height is used instead.</li> <li>If <code>showExceededText</code> is set to TRUE and you paste a longer text, all characters beyond the <code>maxLength</code> limit are automatically selected.</li> <li>If <code>showExceededText</code> is set to TRUE, the control will display a counter for the remaining characters. 1.9.0 sap.m/InputBase Defines the number of visible text lines for the control. <b>Note:</b> The <code>height</code> property wins over the <code>rows</code> property, if both are set. Defines the visible width of the control, in average character widths. <b>Note:</b> The <code>width</code> property wins over the <code>cols</code> property, if both are set. Defines the height of the control. Defines the maximum number of characters that the <code>value</code> can be. Determines whether the characters, exceeding the maximum allowed character count, are visible in the input field. If set to <code>false</code> the user is not allowed to enter more characters than what is set in the <code>maxLength</code> property. If set to <code>true</code> the characters exceeding the <code>maxLength</code> value are selected on paste and the counter below the input field displays their number. Indicates how the control wraps the text, e.g. <code>Soft</code>, <code>Hard</code>, <code>Off</code>. Indicates when the <code>value</code> property gets updated with the user changes. Setting it to <code>true</code> updates the <code>value</code> property whenever the user has modified the text shown on the text area. Indicates the ability of the control to automatically grow and shrink dynamically with its content. <b>Note:</b> The <code>height</code> property is ignored, if this property set to <code>true</code>. Defines the maximum number of lines that the control can grow. Is fired whenever the user has modified the text shown on the text area. The new <code>value</code> of the control.
