nUISearchEntry
com.softwareag.mobile.runtime.nui.nUISearchEntry
Use to display a search entry field. You can restrict the user input to alphanumeric characters or only numbers.
Note:  
The nUISearchEntry NativeUI object is similar to the nUIEntryElement NativeUI object except that the nUISearchEntry object does not allow masking the entry field.
Usage Notes
*Set the Format attribute to indicate the type of text allowable in the text entry field. Use one of the following values:
Value
Meaning
**
Alphanumeric field
N*
Numeric-only field
*The entered text is always visible in the search entry field. If you need to mask the field's contents, for example to use for a field where a user enters passwords or personal identifier numbers (PIN)s, use nUIEntryElement object instead.
*Use the HintText attribute to provide text to indicate what the user should enter in the entry field. The text displays in the entry field, typically in a light gray, and disappears as soon as the user starts typing in the field.
*The following are platform-specific considerations:
Android
*Android devices generate an EVT_TRIGGER event when a user selects the button adjacent to the text field.
iOS
*iOS devices generate an EVT_TRIGGER event when a user presses the Search or Enter key.
*Hint text does not display in multi-line entry boxes.
Windows Phone
*Windows Phone devices generate an EVT_TRIGGER event when a user selects the button adjacent to the text field or when a user presses a Search or Enter key.
Windows RT
Windows 8
*Windows RT/Windows 8 devices generate an EVT_TRIGGER event when a user selects the button adjacent to the text field or when a user presses the Enter key.
Other
*Devices generate an EVT_TRIGGER event when a user presses the Search or Enter key.
