Enables a component to stick to a specific side of form and/or to
grow or shrink when a window is resized.

If opposite anchors are activated then the component with grow or
shrink with the window. For example if Top and Bottom are activated,
then the component will grow/shrink when the window is vertically
resized. If Left and Right are activated then the component
will grow/shrink when the window is horizontally resized.

If opposite anchors are not activated, then the component will
keep a constant distance from the sides of the window which
correspond to the activated anchors.

standard tags. Data tags consist in names of dataproviders surrounded by%%. Standard tags
are a set of predefined tags that are made available by the system.

See the "Merging data" section for more details about tags.

The default value of this flag is "false", that is merging of data is disabled by default.

Options to scale the image Media object that is displayed inside the component.
Can be set to one or a combination of CROP, REDUCE, ENLARGE and KEEPASPECT.

REDUCE will scale down the image if the component is smaller than the image.
REDUCE combined with KEEPASPECT will reduce the image, but keep its aspect ratio.
This is useful when the component has other proportions than the image.

ENLARGE will scale up the image if the component is larger than the image.
ENLARGE combined with KEEPASPECT will scale up the image while keeping its aspect ratio.

CROP will leave the image at its original size. If the component is smaller than
the image this will result in only a part of the image showing up.

This property can be used in two ways. Normally the keyboard shortcut activates
the onClick event of the component. But if the "labelFor" property is set for the
component, then the keyboard shortcut will move the focus to the component whose

in order to define a class names 'fancy' for fields, in the style
definition the class must be named 'field.fancy'. If it would be
intended for labels, then it would be named 'label.fancy'. When specifying
the class name for a component, the prefix is dropped however. Thus the
field or the label will have its styleClass property set to 'fancy' only.

definition the class must be named 'field.fancy'. If it would be 
intended for labels, then it would be named 'label.fancy'. When specifying
the class name for a component, the prefix is dropped however. Thus the
field or the label will have its styleClass property set to 'fancy' only.
