    TextControl

    public class AbstractTextControl<V>
    extends AbstractEditValueControl<V>
    Control to accept text input from the user representing a particular value type. This control keeps track of literal text entered by the user, distinct from the value stored in the model. The component valid status is updated before any literal text change event is fired. Default converters are available for the following types:
    • char[]
    • java.lang.Boolean
    • java.lang.Float
    • java.lang.Integer
    • java.lang.String
    This control uses a single line feed character to represent each line break.
