Syntax

ExtendedDatatype = EMail;

Remarks

The property affects the layout and behavior of controls on a page. Use this, for example, to display a field as an email address.

By applying special meaning or semantics to a field, the value of the table field is converted to a text field of the new data type that may apply special validation, a different way of displaying the value or interacting with the field.

The value of this property on a page control overrides the same property on a table field.
