5>  **NOTE**
6>
7> This component is supported since API version 8. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
8>
9> The functionality of this module depends on UI context. This means that the APIs of this module cannot be used where the UI context is unclear. For details, see [UIContext](../js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#uicontext).
10>
11> Since API version 10, you can use the [showTextPickerDialog](../js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#showtextpickerdialog) API in [UIContext](../js-apis-arkui-UIContext.md#uicontext), which ensures that the text picker dialog box is shown in the intended UI instance.
