Text input component that allows a user to enter a single line of
unformatted text. Unlike in previous releases of JavaFX, support for multi-line
input is not available as part of the TextField control, however this is
the sole-purpose of the TextArea control. Additionally, if you want
a form of rich-text editing, there is also the
HTMLEditor control.
TextField supports the notion of showing prompt text
to the user when there is no text already in the
TextField (either via the user, or set programmatically). This is a useful
way of informing the user as to what is expected in the text field, without
having to resort to tooltips or on-screen labels.
