Description
ADF Faces provides a number of different components that allow users to input data. Along with standard input text components, there are components that allow users to select numbers, dates, and colors. There is also a text editor that allows users to enter and format blocks of text.
  • The af:inputText component allows users to enter simple strings.
  • The af:inputNumberSlider component allows users to select a number using a slider. You can configure the range of numbers shown on the slider. The af:inputRangeSlider component has two thumbs and allows users to select two numbers to create a range. The af:inputNumberSpinbox component has up and down arrow keys that increment or decrement the number in the box.
  • The af:inputColor component has a text field where a user can enter a color code and also a button that launches a color picker (the af:chooseColor comonent) from which a user can select a color, including a custom color.
  • The af:inputDate component has a text field where a user can enter a date and also an icon that launches a date picker (the af:chooseDate comonent) from which a user can select a date, time, and timezone.
  • The af:richTextEditor component provides a text editor that accepts text with formatting. The text can be shown in WYSIWYG mode or in HTML source mode.
