Thanks for the comments, but I'm still confused. Perhaps some specificity to my original question would help:

A text field also has elements such as "movie view" and
"progress indicator." What does this mean, and how can I
use this information?

How can a text field contain a movie view or a progress indicator?

Not sure which application you're talking about but I presume it's a database of some kind. All the same, take TextEdit Plus which gives the elements of the text object as listed below. All these elements, each of which may have its own elements and/or properties, are possible components of the object. They in no way describe or qualify the object as properties (eg. color, size, justification) do.




text as a range of elements

insertion point by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

character by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

word by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

line by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

paragraph by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

sound by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

picture by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

movie by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements

style run by numeric index, before/after another element, satisfying a test, as a range of elements
