This item was deprecated in version 2020r2. Please use `SearchField.TextChanged<searchfield.textchanged>` as a replacement.

</div>

## Description

The text in the control has changed. The event fires only when the user has stopped typing for a short period.

## Notes

Currently in both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, the autofill feature of these browsers does not trigger this event.

This event handler is not called for `WebLabel</api/user_interface/web/weblabel>` since its Value property cannot be modified by the user.

## Sample code

Display the text typed by the user:

``` xojo
MessageBox(Me.Value)
```

## Compatibility

Web projects on all supported operating systems.
