public final class ExtendedTextField
extends PromptedTextField

A custom text component for use where the contents of a text field may be considerably longer than the visible area of the text field, and where using a larger JTextArea is not suitable.

When the field has focus and its contents are too large to display: a popup window will appear containing a multi-line text area that shows the contents of the field. This text area is fully editable and will un-pop when either:
- the focus is lost (see below)
- the contents are deleted so they can all fit in the standard field.
- the user hits Esc, Enter or Tab

To prevent the extended area from automatically hiding when it loses focus:
- Mark an individual component with the "don't hide" constant: component.putClientProperty(ExtendedTextField.DONT_HIDE_COMPONENT_ON_FOCUS_CHANGE, Boolean.TRUE)
- or mark a whole window by putting the "don't hide" constant in it's rootPane: window.getJRootPane().putClientProperty(ExtendedTextField.DONT_HIDE_COMPONENT_ON_FOCUS_CHANGE, Boolean.TRUE)

To prevent the extended area from automatically selecting all its text when it gets focus from another component:
- Mark the component that will lose focus with the "don't select text" constant: component.putClientProperty(ExtendedTextField.DONT_SELECT_TEXT_ON_FOCUS_CHANGE, Boolean.TRUE)
- or mark a whole window by putting the "don't select text" constant in its rootPane: window.getJRootPane().putClientProperty(ExtendedTextField.DONT_SELECT_TEXT_ON_FOCUS_CHANGE, Boolean.TRUE)

11.0
