There is a basic functionality that I do not see implemented in the class. How can I specify a default value for a text field?.

For example: I declare a text field and I want to have the text: "xxxx" written in it when the form loads.

Why would I need that?

Because in a form to edit user details, all the fields should be loaded with the values already stored in the database.

I found out that the "VALUE" attribute does this. BUT I think I have found a bug:

**BUG** When the VALUE of a text field is declared and the field is displayed as readOnly, the value of the field is not displayed. (I am using the automatic vertical layout)

Oh please ignore this message. I do not know what happened but everything is working fine now. I wish there was a delete option for the messages posted.
