public abstract class ListFieldView
extends DataFieldView

basic class for rendering a list field for forms. A list field view manages an instance of a ListTypeManager and a ListValueManager. A ListTypeManager provides UI components that allow users to choose what type of sub-record they can produce. SingleListTypeManager provides no UI component because there is only one type of child that can be produced. MultiListTypeManager renders a drop down box of choices for child types that appears in the list field. A ListValueManager displays the sub-records. A SingleListValueManager will render a sub-record as a text field. The field is ineditable but will show the display name of the child record.
