textInput (Text Box Form Field Properties)

This element specifies a set of properties which shall be associated with the parent FORMTEXT text box form field (§2.16.5.28) within the document.

If the parent form field is not a text box (i.e. its field code does not have a value of FORMTEXT), then these properties may be ignored.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment for the properties of a text box form field:

<w:ffData>
<w:textInput>
<w:maxLength w:val="4" />
<w:type w:val="number" />
</w:textInput>
</w:ffData>

The textInput element specifies that it contains a set of properties for the parent text box form field. In this case, these properties specify that the drop-down list shall contain no more than four characters via the maxLength element (§2.16.27), and that its contents shall contain a number via the type element (§2.16.34). end example]
