Interface ScriptEditorControl<T extends Region>

Type Parameters:
T - the tile of component used for display
All Superinterfaces:
EditableText, TextAppendable
All Known Implementing Classes:
CodeAreaControl, TextAreaControl

public interface ScriptEditorControl<T extends Region> extends TextAppendable, EditableText
Basic script editor control using JavaFX. The reason for its existence is to enable custom script editors to be implemented that provide additional functionality (e.g. syntax highlighting), but do not rely upon subclassing any specific JavaFX control.

Note: This is rather cumbersome, and may be removed in the future if the script editor design is revised.
