Constructor Detail

RichTextArea

public RichTextArea()

Constructs an empty RichTextArea with no caption.

RichTextArea

public RichTextArea(String caption)

Constructs an empty RichTextArea with the given caption.

Parameters:

caption - the caption for the editor.

RichTextArea

public RichTextArea(Property dataSource)

Constructs a new RichTextArea that's bound to the specified Property and has no caption.

Parameters:

dataSource - the data source for the editor value

RichTextArea

public RichTextArea(String caption,
                    Property dataSource)

Constructs a new RichTextArea that's bound to the specified Property and has the given caption.

Parameters:

caption - the caption for the editor.

dataSource - the data source for the editor value

RichTextArea

public RichTextArea(String caption,
                    String value)

Constructs a new RichTextArea with the given caption and initial text contents.

Parameters:

caption - the caption for the editor.

value - the initial text content of the editor.

Method Detail

paintContent

public void paintContent(PaintTarget target)
                  throws PaintException

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

Paints any needed component-specific things to the given UIDL stream. The more general AbstractComponent.paint(PaintTarget) method handles all general attributes common to all components, and it calls this method to paint any component-specific attributes to the UIDL stream.

Overrides:

paintContent in class AbstractField

Parameters:

target - the target UIDL stream where the component should paint itself to

Throws:

PaintException - if the paint operation failed.

setReadOnly

public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

Description copied from class: AbstractField

Changes the readonly state and throw read-only status change events.

Specified by:

setReadOnly in interface Property

Specified by:

setReadOnly in interface Component

Overrides:

setReadOnly in class AbstractField

Parameters:

readOnly - a boolean value specifying whether the component is put read-only mode or not

See Also:

Component.setReadOnly(boolean)

selectAll

public void selectAll()

Selects all text in the rich text area. As a side effect, focuses the rich text area.

Since:

6.5

getFormattedValue

@Deprecated
protected String getFormattedValue()

Deprecated.

Gets the formatted string value. Sets the field value by using the assigned Format.

Returns:

the Formatted value.

See Also:

setFormat(Format), Format

getValue

public Object getValue()

Description copied from class: AbstractField

Gets the current value of the field.

This is the visible, modified and possible invalid value the user have entered to the field. In the read-through mode, the abstract buffer is also updated and validation is performed.

Note that the object returned is compatible with getType(). For example, if the type is String, this returns Strings even when the underlying datasource is of some other type. In order to access the datasources native type, use getPropertyDatasource().getValue() instead.

Note that when you extend AbstractField, you must reimplement this method if datasource.getValue() is not assignable to class returned by getType() AND getType() is not String. In case of Strings, getValue() calls datasource.toString() instead of datasource.getValue().

Specified by:

getValue in interface Property

Overrides:

getValue in class AbstractField

Returns:

the current value of the field.

changeVariables

public void changeVariables(Object source,
                            Map<String,Object> variables)

Description copied from interface: VariableOwner

Called when one or more variables handled by the implementing class are changed.

Specified by:

changeVariables in interface VariableOwner

Overrides:

changeVariables in class AbstractField

Parameters:

source - the Source of the variable change. This is the origin of the event. For example in Web Adapter this is the request.

variables - the Mapping from variable names to new variable values.

getType

public Class getType()

Description copied from interface: Property

Returns the type of the Property. The methods getValue and setValue must be compatible with this type: one must be able to safely cast the value returned from getValue to the given type and pass any variable assignable to this type as an argument to setValue.

Specified by:

getType in interface Property

Specified by:

getType in class AbstractField

Returns:

type of the Property

getNullRepresentation

public String getNullRepresentation()

Gets the null-string representation.

The null-valued strings are represented on the user interface by replacing the null value with this string. If the null representation is set null (not 'null' string), painting null value throws exception.

The default value is string 'null'.

Returns:

the String Textual representation for null strings.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.isNullSettingAllowed()

isNullSettingAllowed

public boolean isNullSettingAllowed()

Is setting nulls with null-string representation allowed.

If this property is true, writing null-representation string to text field always sets the field value to real null. If this property is false, null setting is not made, but the null values are maintained. Maintenance of null-values is made by only converting the textfield contents to real null, if the text field matches the null-string representation and the current value of the field is null.

By default this setting is false

Returns:

boolean Should the null-string represenation be always converted to null-values.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.getNullRepresentation()

setNullRepresentation

public void setNullRepresentation(String nullRepresentation)

Sets the null-string representation.

The null-valued strings are represented on the user interface by replacing the null value with this string. If the null representation is set null (not 'null' string), painting null value throws exception.

The default value is string 'null'

Parameters:

nullRepresentation - Textual representation for null strings.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.setNullSettingAllowed(boolean)

setNullSettingAllowed

public void setNullSettingAllowed(boolean nullSettingAllowed)

Sets the null conversion mode.

If this property is true, writing null-representation string to text field always sets the field value to real null. If this property is false, null setting is not made, but the null values are maintained. Maintenance of null-values is made by only converting the textfield contents to real null, if the text field matches the null-string representation and the current value of the field is null.

By default this setting is false.

Parameters:

nullSettingAllowed - Should the null-string represenation be always converted to null-values.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.getNullRepresentation()

getFormat

@Deprecated
public Format getFormat()

Deprecated. replaced by PropertyFormatter

Gets the value formatter of TextField.

Returns:

the Format used to format the value.

setFormat

@Deprecated
public void setFormat(Format format)

Deprecated. replaced by PropertyFormatter

Gets the value formatter of TextField.

Parameters:

format - the Format used to format the value. Null disables the formatting.

isEmpty

protected boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from class: AbstractField

Is the field empty? In general, "empty" state is same as null. As an exception, TextField also treats empty string as "empty".

Overrides:

isEmpty in class AbstractField
