InputFieldText
The InputFieldText report control in section reports provides support for editable text fields in an exported PDF report where the control's value can be edited. The InputFieldText control inherits most of its properties from the TextBox report control.

Note:
- The InputFieldText control is part of the Professional Edition. With the Standard license, the control is not editable in an exported PDF file and is rendered as fixed text.
- The report's CompatibilityMode property should be set to CrossPlatform for the InputFieldText control to be editable in PDF. This is the default mode for Section reports. In GDI mode, the control is non-editable.
- In export formats other than PDF, such as RTF, XLS/XLSX, TXT, HTML, and MHT, the InputFieldText control is exported as non-editable plain text independent of the Compatibility mode of the report.
