public interface Field

Method Detail

getLabel

String getLabel()

Label text for the field

The label is generally used to identify the field in the user interface

Returns:

String label text

setLabel

void setLabel(String labelText)

Setter for the field's label text

Parameters:

labelText -

getShortLabel

String getShortLabel()

Short label for the field

For areas of the user interface that have limited area (such as table headers), the short label can be used to identify the field

Returns:

String short label

setShortLabel

void setShortLabel(String shortLabel)

Setter for the field's short label text

Parameters:

shortLabel -

getFieldLabel

Label getFieldLabel()

Label instance for the field

The label field contains the labeling text for the field in addition to configuration for rendering in the user interface (such as the styling for the label area)

Returns:

Label instance

setFieldLabel

void setFieldLabel(Label label)

Setter for the field's label field

Parameters:

label -

isLabelLeft

boolean isLabelLeft()

The label for this field will be positioned to the left of the field content, when true.

The usage of this option is for one-off instances in which a label must be positioned to the left of a field for layout purposes. It is recommended that if many fields will have their labels positioned to the left in a group that a CssGridLabelColumnLayoutManager backed group be used instead.

setLabelLeft

void setLabelLeft(boolean labelLeft)

See Also:

isLabelLeft()

isLabelRendered

boolean isLabelRendered()

Indicates whether the contained Label has been rendered as part of another field and thus should not be rendered with the attribute

Returns:

boolean true if the label field has been rendered, false if it should be rendered with the attribute

setLabelRendered

void setLabelRendered(boolean labelFieldRendered)

Setter for the label field rendered indicator

Parameters:

labelFieldRendered -

getLabelStyleClasses

List<String> getLabelStyleClasses()

Label style classes for the field

Returns:

List label style classes

setLabelStyleClasses

void setLabelStyleClasses(List<String> labelStyleClasses)

Setter for the field's label style classes

Parameters:

labelStyleClasses -

getLabelColSpan

int getLabelColSpan()

Label column span for the field

Returns:

int label column span

setLabelColSpan

void setLabelColSpan(int labelColSpan)

Setter for the field's label column span

Parameters:

labelColSpan -

getFieldSecurity

FieldSecurity getFieldSecurity()

Field Security object that indicates what authorization (permissions) exist for the field

Returns:

FieldSecurity instance
