You can configure the following settings in the Properties panel:

• Value: Represents the text entered by the user or initially assigned.

• Mask: Allows the user to enter text in a specific format (e.g. ##/###/#### for date).
• Formatter: Converts the entered text into a specific format:
  
  • Lowercase: Allows letters to be converted to lowercase.
  • Uppercase: Allows letters to be converted to uppercase.
• Input Mode: Specifies the keyboard layout (e.g. all - all characters, char - letters and symbols, number - numbers only).
• Allowed Chars: Specifies the characters that can be entered (e.g. numbers only and characters such as “-”, “(”, “)”).
• Auto Complete: Provides suggestions appropriate to the text typed by the user (e.g. when “I” is typed, options such as “Izmir”, “Istanbul” appear).
• Input Mode: Defines the keyboard layout to be used for input. Options include:
  
  • all: All characters allowed
  • char: Letters and symbols
  • number: Only numeric input
• Speech To Text: Allows text input through voice commands.
