This is indeed not documented (nor intended), and not possible without access to
a private header (DomElement.h), which is not installed.
Having access to this header somehow, you should be able to do it by doing:
void WTextArea::updateDom(DomElement& element, bool all)
{
if (all) {
element.setProperty(Wt::PropertyInnerHTML, content_.toUTF8());
}
WFormWidget::updateDome(element, all);
}
DomElementType domElementType() const
{
return DomElement_DIV;
}
Perhaps we should look at including this header, or, at another way to
be able to implement a WFormWidget pretty
much like a WContainerWidget or WCompositeWidget.
