- [FormField.DescriptiveText Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/formfield/descriptivetext-property/llms-full.txt): Gets or sets a descriptive text for a form field. An empty string indicates that the form field has no such text. An empty string can also be used to delete a previously set text.
- [FormField.Enabled Property](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/formfield/enabled-property/llms-full.txt): Gets or set a value indicating whether the form field is enabled. This property has only an effect, when the when the TextControl.EditMode is set to ReadAndSelect and the DocumentPermissions.AllowEditingFormFields property has been set to true. In this case a Formfield can only be edited, when its Enabled property is true. When a FormField is disabled, the TextFieldClicked and TextFieldDoubleClicked of the Formfield are suppressed. The default value of this property is true.
- [FormField.FormFieldDialog Method](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-server/reference/txtextcontrol/formfield/formfielddialog-method/llms-full.txt): Opens a dialog box to alter the formatting attributes of the form field.
