Interface PFieldComponent

All Superinterfaces:
EventListener, PClientComponent, PComponent, PViewComponent, PViewDataChangeListener
All Known Implementing Classes:
PIAExpirationField

public interface PFieldComponent extends PViewComponent
Deprecated.
As of Release 6.1, PFieldComponent is deprecated and replaced by PAppFieldComponent.
PFieldComponent is a PViewComponent that directly displays the contents of a field. This class was used as the base for displaying field contents, for example, single field controls, list boxes, and tables. Components implementing this interface will also have API methods provided by the swing API for populating/retrieving data.In case you are using the methods of this interface it is not advisable to use the regular swing API methods to populate/retrieve the data from these components as it might result in data corruption.
