setRequiredIndicatorVisible

public void setRequiredIndicatorVisible(boolean requiredIndicatorVisible)

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Sets the required indicator visible or not.

If set visible, it is visually indicated in the user interface.

The method is intended to be used with Binder which does server-side validation. In case HTML element has its own (client-side) validation it should be disabled when setRequiredIndicatorVisible(true) is called and re-enabled back on setRequiredIndicatorVisible(false). It's responsibility of each component implementation to follow the contract so that the method call doesn't do anything else than show/hide the "required" indication. Usually components provide their own setRequired method which should be called in case the client-side validation is required.

Specified by:

setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Specified by:

setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Parameters:

requiredIndicatorVisible - true to make the required indicator visible, false if not
