Add a character counter

You can add a character counter that lets your users know how many characters they have typed, or how many characters are remaining when entering text in the text area. By default, when you add a character counter, the counter appears outside the lower-right corner of the widget.

  1. Select a Validation Text Area widget in the Document window.
  2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), select either the Chars Count or Chars Remaining option.
    Note: The Chars Remaining option is only available if you’ve already set a maximum number of characters allowed.
