Forces the client to focus on the TextBox.

Determines whether clicking on the TextBox will clear its TextBox.Text property

CursorPosition determines the offset of the text cursor in bytes, or -1 if the TextBox is not currently being edited. A value of 1 represents the beginning, the position before the first byte in the Text property. When used in conjunction with the SelectionStart property, it is possible to both get and set selected text within a TextBox.

It should be noted that the units of this property is bytes and that many unicode characters such as emoji are longer than 1 byte. For instance, if a player types into the TextBox "Hello👋" – "Hello" immediately followed by the waving hand sign – the cursor position would be 10, not 7, since the emoji uses 4 bytes.

Fires when the client lets their focus leave the TextBox - typically when a client clicks/taps outside of the TextBox. This also fires if a TextBox forces focus on the user.

It can be used alongside TextBox.Focused to track when a TextBox gains and loses focus.

See also the UserInputService.TextBoxFocused and UserInputService.TextBoxFocusReleased for similar functions that rely on the UserInputService service.

This event will only fire when used in a LocalScript.

Fires when the TextBox gains focus - typically when a client clicks/taps on a TextBox to begin text entry. This also fires if a TextBox forces focus on the user.

It can be used alongside TextBox.FocusLost to track when a TextBox gains and loses focus.

This event will only fire when used in a LocalScript.

The FontFace property is similar to the Font property, but allows setting fonts that don't exist in the Font enum.

This property is kept in sync with the TextBox.Font property. When setting FontFace, the Font is set to the corresponding enum value, or to Font.Unknown if there are no matches.

Returns true if the textbox is focused, or false if it is not.

Controls the height of lines, as a multiple of the font's em square size, by scaling the spacing between lines of text in the TextBox. Valid values range from 1.0 to 3.0, defaulting to 1.0.

This property controls the maximum number of graphemes (or units of text) that are shown on the TextBox, regardless of whether it's showing the TextBox.PlaceholderText or TextBox.Text.

Changing the property does not change the position or size of the visible graphemes - the layout will be calculated as if all graphemes are visible.

Setting the property to -1 disables the limit and shows the entirety of the TextBox.Text.

When set to true, text inside a TextBox is able to move onto multiple lines. This also enables players to use the enter key to move onto a new line.

Sets the text color that gets used when no text has been entered into the TextBox yet.

Sets the text that gets displayed when no text has been entered into the TextBox yet.

Forces the client to unfocus the TextBox. The submitted parameter allows you to over-ride the enterPressed parameter in the TextBox.FocusLost event.

This item should be used with a LocalScript in order to work as expected in online mode.

The code shown below will force the client to unfocus the 'TextBox' 5 seconds after it's selected:

1
2
3
4
5

local TextBox = script.Parent
TextBox.Focused:Connect(function()
	wait(5)
	TextBox:ReleaseFocus()
end)

Please be aware that the above example assumes that it's in a LocalScript, as a child of a TextBox.

This property determines whether the TextBox renders the TextBox.Text string using rich text formatting. Rich text uses simple markup tags to style sections of the string in bold, italics, specific colors, and more.

To use rich text, simply include formatting tags in the TextBox.Text string.

Note that when the TextBox has this property enabled and the box gains focus, the user will be able to edit and interact with the complete XML string, including all of the formatting tags. When focus is lost, the text will automatically parse and render the tags as rich text.

Determines the starting position of a text selection, or -1 if the TextBox has no range of selected text. If the value is -1 or equivalent to CursorPosition, there is no range of text selected. This property uses the same positioning logic as CursorPosition. SelectionStart will be greater than CursorPosition if the cursor is at the beginning of a selection, and less than CursorPosition if the cursor is at the end.

If set to true, input native to the platform is used instead of Roblox's built-in keyboard.

The Text property determines the content rendered by the UI element. The visual properties of the string rendered to the screen is determined by TextBox.TextColor3, TextBox.TextTransparency, TextBox.TextSize, TextBox.Font, TextBox.TextScaled, TextBox.TextWrapped, TextBox.TextXAlignment and TextBox.TextYAlignment.

It is possible to render emoji (for example, 😃) and other symbols. These special symbols aren't affected by the TextBox.TextColor3 property. These can be pasted into Script and LocalScript objects, as well as the field within the Properties window.

This property may contain newline characters, however, it is not possible to type newline characters within the Properties window. Similarly, this property may contain a tab character, but it will render as a space instead.

The read-only property TextBounds reflects the absolute size of rendered text in offsets. In other words, if you were to try to fit text into a rectangle, this property would reflect the minimum dimensions of the rectangle you would need in order to fit the text.

Using TextService:GetTextSize(), you can predict what TextBounds will be on a TextLabel given a string, TextBox.Font, TextBox.TextSize and frame size.

This property determines the color of all the text rendered by a GUI element. This property along with TextBox.Font, TextBox.TextSize and TextBox.TextTransparency will determine the visual properties of text. Text is rendered after the text stroke (TextBox.TextStrokeColor3).
