Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`clearText()` Clears the contents of this component.
`String`	`doFormat(Object object)` Does the formatting of the given object. Renders the object and returns the string.
`void`	`downRight()` Move the caret to the right side of field and if already there move to next field.
`void`	`fireValueEntered()` Fires all listeners registered on this component invoking their `valueEntered`-handler. This method is invoked whenever the user edited the view and that change should be reflected in the data.
`void`	`focusLost(FocusEvent e)`
`char`	`getAdjust()` Gets the current adjustment.
`int`	`getCaretPosition()` Gets the caret position.
`int`	`getColumns()` Gets the columns.
`char`	`getConvert()` Gets the current convesion
`Function<String,String>`	`getConverter()` Gets the current converter.
`int`	`getDefaultColumns()` Gets the default columns.
`AbstractFormField`	`getEditorField()` Gets the editor field.
`String`	`getErrorMessage()` Gets the parsing error message for the first error.
`int`	`getErrorOffset()` Gets the offset in this components text for the first parsing error.
`char`	`getFiller()` Gets the current fill char.
`String`	`getFormat()` Gets the format string.
`int`	`getHorizontalAlignment()` Gets the horizontal alignment.
`String`	`getInvalidChars()` Gets invalid characters.
`int`	`getMaxColumns()` Gets the maximum number of columns.
`String`	`getText()` Gets the text from the view of this component.
`String`	`getToolTipText()` Gets the tooltip text for this component.
`String`	`getValidChars()` Gets allowed characters.
`Object`	`getValueShown()` Gets the value shown to the user. This is the visual representation, not necessarily the model's value.
`int`	`getVerticalAlignment()` Gets the vertical alignment.
`boolean`	`isAutoNext()` Returns whether the auto-next feature is enabled.
`boolean`	`isAutoSelect()` Returns whether the auto-select feature is enabled.
`boolean`	`isAutoUpdate()` Returns whether the auto-update feature is enabled.
`boolean`	`isCaretLeft()` Returns whether carat is at leftmost position.
`boolean`	`isCaretRight()` Returns whether caret is at rightmost position.
`boolean`	`isEmpty()` Determines whether this component is empty.
`boolean`	`isEraseFirst()` Returns whether to erase the field after first setText().
`boolean`	`isInhibitAutoSelect()` Returns whether auto-select is inhibited (once).
`boolean`	`isOverwrite()` Gets the current override mode.
`boolean`	`isStartEditLeftmost()` Returns whether to start edit leftmost in this component (once).
`void`	`postActionEvent()` Invokes the action performed handler.
`void`	`requestFocus()`
`boolean`	`requestFocusInWindow()`
`void`	`requestFocusLater()` Requests the keyboard focus for this component by appending an event to the end of the event queue. Applications should not use requestFocus() or requestFocusInWindow() unless the order in which the events are processed is unimportant.
`void`	`saveValue()` Sets a savepoint for the data of this component. Allows to decide whether the user has changed the data associated with this component or not.
`void`	`setAdjust(char adjust)` Sets character adjustment. By default the text input data is trimmed, i.e.
`void`	`setAutoNext(boolean autonext)` Sets the auto-next feature. If autonext is enabled the next component will automatically receive the focus if the maximum number of characters is reached.
`void`	`setAutoSelect(boolean autoselect)` Sets the auto-select feature. A component with autoselect enabled will automatically select all characters if the component gets the keyboard focus.
`void`	`setAutoUpdate(boolean autoupdate)` Sets the auto-update feature. By default, all components update the data model if the view changes (due to certain events, for example focus lost).
`void`	`setCaretLeft()` Sets the caret to leftmost position.
`void`	`setCaretPosition(int pos)` Sets the caret position.
`void`	`setCaretRight()` Sets the caret to rightmost position.
`void`	`setColumns(int columns)` Sets the number of columns in this component. The visible width is adjusted according to the current font.
`void`	`setConvert(char convert)` Sets character upper/lowercase conversion. Notice that changing the character conversion will immediately convert.
`void`	`setConverter(Function<String,String> converter)` Sets the string converter. Besides the lower/uppercase conversion an optional converter may be set to translate characters.

`void`	`setErrorMessage(String errorMessage)` Sets the error message.
`void`	`setErrorOffset(int errorOffset)` Sets the error offset.
`void`	`setFiller(char filler)` Sets the fill char. The fill char determines the adjustment of the text data.
