# 4.2.1.2 Edit Text Object

In this dialog objects of type TEXT, BOXTEXT, and FTEXT FBOXTEXT can be changed. TEXT and BOXTEXT objects have some additional display options as opposed to STRING objects, such as the frame size, centering and a background pattern. FTEXT and FBOXTEXT objects can be used for input fields. For this two texts must be specified: a mask and a text that appears at the input positions. Input positions are characterized by holding down the Alternate key in the field 'template' during input. The characters you enter specify which character can later be input at this position. The AES provide the following symbols:

9 | Digits (0-9)
A | Uppercase letters (A-Z) and space
a | Letters (A-Z, a-z) and space
N | Uppercase letters (A-Z) and digits (0-9)
n | Letters (A-Z, a-z) and digits (0-9)
F | Characters that are allowed in a filename, plus '?', '*' and ':'
f | Characters that are allowed in a filename
P | Characters that are allowed in a pathname, plus '?' and '*'
p | Characters that are allowed in a pathname
X | all characters

Some versions of AES and especially GEM libraries can offer even more possibilities.
