The actual return type depends on the UI control.

Typically the returned object has getValue and setValue methods
for accessing the values received from and sent to the client. |
Examples
For this example, you have three edit
boxes named
inputText1,
inputText2,
and
inputText3 defined for numeric data. The third
edit box has the following
onfocus event. At runtime,
clicking in the last box puts there the sum of the first two boxes.
getComponent("inputText3").setValue(
getComponent("inputText1").getValue() +
getComponent("inputText2").getValue())
