- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ValueLabel

          public ValueLabel()

    - #### ValueLabel

          @UiConstructor
          public ValueLabel(Renderer<? super T> renderer)

      Creates an empty value label.
      Parameters:
        `renderer` -

    - #### ValueLabel

          protected ValueLabel(Element element,
                               Renderer<? super T> renderer)

      This constructor may be used by subclasses to explicitly use an existing element. This element must be either a <span> or a <div> element.
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to be used

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### wrap

          public static <T> ValueLabel<T> wrap(Element element,
                                               Renderer<? super T> renderer)

      Creates a ValueLabel widget that wraps an existing <span> element.

      The ValueLabel's value will be `null`, whether the element being wrapped has content or not. Use `wrap(Element, Renderer, Parser)` to parse the initial element's content to initialize the ValueLabel's value.

      This element must already be attached to the document. If the element is removed from the document, you must call `RootPanel.detachNow(Widget)`.

      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to be wrapped
        `renderer` - the renderer used to render values into the element

    - #### wrap

          public static <T> ValueLabel<T> wrap(Element element,
                                               Renderer<? super T> renderer,
                                               Parser<? extends T> parser)
                                        throws java.text.ParseException

      Creates a ValueLabel widget that wraps an existing <span> element.

      The ValueLabel's value will be initialized with the element's content, passed through the `parser`.

      This element must already be attached to the document. If the element is removed from the document, you must call `RootPanel.detachNow(Widget)`.

      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to be wrapped
        `renderer` - the renderer used to render values into the element
        `parser` - the parser used to initialize the ValueLabel's value from the element's content
      Throws:
        `java.text.ParseException`
