<af:insertTextBehavior>

insertTextBehavior insert text behavior

The insertTextBehavior tag is a declarative way to have a command component (e.g. a button) insert some text into an input component when clicked. This tag will be ignored for any server-rendered components, as it is only supported for the rich client.

The insertTextBehavior tag cancels server-side event delivery automatically - so actionListener or action attributes on the parent component will be ignored. This cannot be disabled. Developers that need to also trigger server-side functionality can add an additional client listener that uses AdfCustomEvent and af:serverListener to deliver a server-side event.

Examples:

This example will insert "hello world" in place of the selection in the inputText with the id "someInput" when the button is clicked.

            <af:commandToolbarButton text="Insert text at Selection">
                <af:insertTextBehavior for="someInput" value="hello world"/>
            </af:commandToolbarButton>
