{73} *? Infotext
["Text" max. 30 characters]
The tag allows you to save a string of characters with a box or line. When the box is exported
into a DATAformTags-text, the string will be exported after *?. The developer may use the tag
to store information not fitting in the tags {4} *G or {2} *# . The enduser may use it e.g. to
name boxes.

creates a picture box with the Infotext Price A. The Infotext can be edited in the dialogue
DATAform/Box properties...:
By the tag {75} *g Box properties (see page: 89) you can set the field Infotext to read only or
invisible too, for example:
¶*#3001*G3*T3*?"invisible Info"*g"222202"*$the text in the box¶
Creates a text box with an invisible Infotext. The text invisible Info is not shown in the
DATAform Box properties dialogue:
When the box is exported as a DATAformTags-text, an invisible Infotext will always be expor-
ted unchanged: ¶*#3001*G3*T3*p4*@1 ... *?"invisible Info"*$Text in the box¶
An invisible Infotext is not converted into the Mac or ANSII character set, neither on import
nor on export. The Tag {71} *@ is not applied.
