Method Detail

input

void input(Object value)

To input value into a component. This method generalizes various input operation to a InputElement, e.g. typing in a Textbox, or scrolling a Slider. For those components that you cannot type text in, e.g. Slider is inputed by scrolling its bar. you can use this method to mimic the special input operation other than typing.
You can pass in an Integer for a a intbox, Double for a doublebox, and Date for a datebox. Parameter's type depends on target component.

Parameters:

value - the input value

type

void type(String value)

To type text into a component. The value should be valid for target component, e.g. Intbox only accepts integer. If the target is Datebox or Timebox, your input text format should match "format" attribute's pattern.

Parameters:

value - the input value

typing

void typing(String value)

To simulate typing data into a component and it will send onChanging event to server.

Parameters:

value - the typing value.

select

void select(int start,
            int end)

To select (highlight) a range to text of an InputElement by specifying 2 indexes.

Parameters:

start - the beginning index,start from 0, inclusive.

end - the ending index, exclusive.
