## Description The `TextArea` that the **ListBox** uses for its editable cell operations. ## Notes The `TextEdit` can be either a `TextField` or a `TextArea` control. To specify which one, the ListBox uses the following ListBox constants: ``` xojo ListBox.TypeEditableTextArea ListBox.TypeEditableTextField ``` For example, ``` xojo ListBox1.CellType(1,0) = ListBox.TypeEditableTextField ``` To get this `TextField`, you must put the cell into the Inline Editable mode via the `CellType` or `ColumnType` properties and make it editable by calling the `EditCell` method. You can use this property to set or get the text of the ListBox cell (using `SelText`), set the selection, or change other properties of the ListBox's `TextField`. ## Compatibility All projects types on all supported operating systems.
