Editing indicators

The status of the editor is displayed using graphic indicators. They inform the user about things such as:

  • Editing mode (numeric/alphanumeric, language-specific modes)

  • Character case

  • Predictive Text status

  • Available space

When the editor is in the main pane, the indicators are located in the Navi pane. A Data query that resides in a pop-up window has its indicators within the window.

Using editing indicators in applications
