As with all subclasses, the actual initialization is done in the initialize() function,
not in the constructor, to allow for error handling.
This widget supports all types which have a simple, plain text representation accessible
though their value member.
Available configuration options:
- int maxlength: The maximum length of the string allowed for this field.
This includes any newlines, which account as at most two characters, depending
on the OS. If you specify a 0, no maximum length is set. If you specify a -1,
maximum length is inherited from the type, if applicable or unlimited otherwise.
If a maximum length is set, an appropriate validation rule is created implicitly.
A -1 setting is processed during startup and has no effect at a later time.
- boolean hideinput: Set this to true if you want to hide the input in the widget,
this usually means that a password HTML element will be used, instead of a regular
text input widget. Defaults to false.
