new TextBox(form) => [
value <=> "name"
width = 200
]
// Java
new TextBox(form)
.setWidth(250)
.bindValueToProperty("name");Another properties

- enabled, visible & background (bindables)
- height / width (manually configured)
- And also inherits from Skinnable Control this properties:
- fontSize, foreground, background
- withFilter(TextFilter): allows to set a specific filter (date, numeric data, etc.)
