Remarks

The text element will allow for string values up to 1023 characters long. The text element is generally associated with either a text box or a combo box parameter in the Local Group Policy Editor or GPMC.

The text element will require a matching text box or combo box presentation element in the corresponding .adml file with id that matches as declared in the text element.

Examples

This XML fragment is an example of a text element that is associated with a text box. The value will be stored as a text string, REG_SZ.

        <text id="Sample_TextboxPrompt" valueName="Example2textbox" />

This XML fragment is an example of a text element that will create a string value stored as an expandable string (REG_EXPAND_SZ). The text box in this case will require a value to be input before the policy setting change can be applied in the enabled state.

        <text id="Sample_textboxExpandszPrompt" 
                 valueName="Example2TextboxExpandsz" 
                  required="true" expand="true" />
