Constructor Detail

TextContainer

protected TextContainer(WingContext context)
                 throws WingException

Construct a new text container. This method doesn't do anything but because the inheriting abstract class mandates a constructor for this class to compile it must ensure that the parent constructor is called. Just as implementors of this class must ensure that this constructor is called, thus is the chain of life. :)

Parameters:

context - (Required) The context this element is contained in.

Throws:

WingException
