What is the universal component?

With the universal component the component type can be freely set via a type class – for cases no standard component covers.

Example: HTML WYSIWYG component

Via the type class org.nuclos.client.ui.collect.component.CollectableEditorPane you embed a simple HTML component with WYSIWYG functions. A text field (e.g. memo) serves as the basis:

Insert the universal component with the field name instead of a textarea.
In the properties, enter org.nuclos.client.ui.collect.component.CollectableEditorPane as the type class.

Use the context menu to switch between HTML markup and the normal view.
