SuperImmediateTextField

A TextField, only faster.

Have you ever thought that a TextField's immediateness just isn't enough? Here's a SuperImmediateTextField! This way you can track the user's typing on-the-go, or even each keypress individually, if you want!

Important Note: While the component does inherit Vaadin's TextField, it is not completely feature complete with it. setSecret() will probably not work, and neither is it intended for a multi-line use - so setRows(), setColumns() will probably be out of the question, too. This is my bad...

Sample code

final Layout layout = new CssLayout();
final Label foo = new Label();
final SuperImmediateTextField sitf = new SuperImmediateTextField();
sitf.addListener(new KeyPressListener() {
    public void keyPressed(final KeyPressEvent event) {
        foo.setValue(sitf.getValue());
    }
});

layout.addComponent(sitf);
layout.addComponent(foo);
mainWindow.addComponent(layout);
