Main Features Include

• HighLighting - An intuitive editing feature that can select and highlight text. Full mouse and keyboard support. Runs independently and fully integrated with other features
• Culture Settings - WebInput.NET supports .NET culture setting info for formatting and validating with various culture types from Afrikaans to Vietnamese
• Formatting - Using standard .NET formatting feature, WebInput has a solid formatting base that exposes many NET. formatting features such as format expression, validation, separator, and standard format
• Masking - An extraordinary WebInput feature which can define input expression, limiting input, validate input and spin selected input text. Following the standard masking mechanism, it brings powerful editing features to WebInput.NET
• Client Side Object Model - WebInput.NET has a solid, consistent, and more object oriented client side object model corresponding to server side object model. Fewer properties than server side with extra client side features. When properties change in client side, it can reflect to server side at post back (serialize to and serialize from client). WebInput's client side object model is now based on Intersoft's WebUI.NET Framework which defines the common functionalities of the client side object
• Editors - The calculator editor and datetime editor provide for a better UI and better editing process. These editors work well and have different behaviors (for edited data) when working with other features
• Integrated Layouts - WebInput.NET has a new conceptual approach to the layout mechanism. WebInput.NET Inherits from the new Intersoft WebUI.NET framework, it has an integrated image-text-style settings and persistence mechanism that is easier to learn, use, and manage
• Intuitive VS.NET Design Time Support - WebInput.NET has a preview settings feature at design time that helps developers with easy, simple, and descriptive settings modification
• WebGrid.NET Custom Editor Support - WebInput.NET can be used as a stand alone as well as integrated right into Intersoft's WebGrid.NET Enterprise editor. This allows your end users to take advantage of the WebInput.NET's rich features and power with the convenience of in-cell editing of WebGrid.NET Enterprise
• Built based on the new Intersoft WebUI.NET(tm) Framework - WebInput.NET is built based on the new Intersoft WebUI.NET framework. As a result, it inherits all the power and benefits of the new framework like instance object cloning (with reference type), instance object resetting (with reference type), instance object copying (with reference type), instance object empty checking (with reference type), support for Intersoft XML serializable and Intersoft Binary serializable, intuitive design time support, and much more. Complete documentation and benefits of the WebUI.NET Framework can be found in the separate WebUI.NET help section. If you view this document in Help 2.0 environment, you can click the links in the See Also section below

For a better editing experience, the WebInput.NET control has several features like: Highlighting, Formatting, Masking, and Validating data client side (web browser). With HighLight, the user can select specific edit values (whether a character, a phrase or a word), edit the value, and spin it (for spin, it requires EditFormat feature enabled). The Formatting lets WebInput.NET format and validate the display text data according to a supplied format expression. The Masking provides better editing experience by defined input place holders per character and literals, validate it per character or phrase, and spin the selected value. An exception to Masking, there is a DynamicNumber MaskType that validates and reformats each value entered and each key pressed. This DynamicNumber doesn't need to specify the masking expression.

To display data in the WebInput.NET control set the Value properties to a valid data source (a string, datetime or numeric data type). WebInput.NET doesn't provide a DataSource-level data binding mechanism since the data is processed as simple values and not a datasource. The Text property contains value data that is formatted, masked, edited and validated.

Supports .NET culture settings formatting, specifiers, separators etc (from Afrikaans to Vietnamese).

The Validating mechanism is internally plugged to the Formatting and Masking features.

To interact intensively with WebInput.NET processes at runtime, there is an object oriented client side class library of WebInput.NET that can be modified via script and persisted server side when posted back. The client side object is actually a mini version of the server side object with some extra client side features. So the client side object has a consistent object model to reflect the server side object model. There are also several client side event handlers that can be attached. Every event handler provides a minimum controlId parameter as standard.

There are 2 built in editors that power editing capabilities, Calculator editor and DateTime editor. The editors work well with HighLight, Formatting, Masking and Validating features.

WebInput.NET supports dynamic styles (different style on element normal state, active state and over state), integrated style-text-image settings, design time layout preview, and control layout data persisting that is compatible with Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0.

WebInput.NET is built based on the new Intersoft WebUI.NET Framework. As results, it inherits all the power and benefit of the new framework likes instance object cloning (with reference type), instance object resetting (with reference type), instance object copying (with reference type), instance object empty checking (with reference type), support for Intersoft XML serializable and Intersoft Binary serializable, intuitive design time support, and more.
