class TextField(Control)
A TextField is a simple single or multi-line text entry area. All
text in the field is displayed with the same font, color, justification,
etc.

- selection
- A pair (start, end) indicating the starting and ending character
positions of the selection. Character positions occur between characters
and are numbered from 0.

can be entered. If false, newline characters typed by the user are not
entered into the text but are passed on to the next handler.
- password
- Initialize only. A boolean indicating that the text is to
be displayed in an obfuscated manner, as for entering a password.

this with the multiline option.
