This class implements the functionality of a UIText object in an AWT-based control. An AwtUIText control is an AwtUIHost component whose associated root container holds a UIText object. By hosting this object, an AwtUIText control integrates AFC with AWT. Although an AwtUIText control is fully compatible with AWT, a UIText control is optimized for performance and size.
