AutoReplaceField

TextField extension that automatically modifies the text while you type it. Includes some derived classes like DoubleField and EuroField.

AutoReplaceField is a component that can automatically do regexp-replace-all operations for the field value while user types it.

The AutoReplace field is a good starting point for quickly subclassing custom components. The package contains ready sub classes like IntegerField, DoubleField and EuroField.

Sample code

		// no casting required when using derived classes
		Double doubleValue = doubleField.getValue();
		Integer value = integerField.getValue();
		Double euroValue = euroField.getValue();

		AutoReplaceField ar = new AutoReplaceField();
		ar.setCaption("Try typing 'foo' into this field");
		ar.addReplaceRule("foo", "bar");		
		mainWindow.addComponent(ar);
