While typing the previous email, I was thinking of creating my own Field
to do this, so here we go: a PlainText field. Included if anyone needs.
Cheers,
WarnerJan
import org.apache.click.control.Field;
import org.apache.click.util.HtmlStringBuffer;
public class PlainText extends Field {
private String text;
public PlainText() {
this.text = "";
}
public PlainText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
public String getLabel() {
return text;
}
public void setLabel(String label) {
this.text= label;
}
public String getValue() {
return text;
}
public void setValue(String value) {
this.text = value;
}
public Object getValueObject() {
return text;
}
public void setValueObject(Object object) {
this.text = object== null ? "" : object.toString();
}
public void render(HtmlStringBuffer buffer) {
buffer.append(text);
}
}
