All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Animation, Editable, ActionSource<ActionEvent>, StyleListener, IconHolder, ReleasableComponent, SelectableIconHolder, TextHolder`

public class FloatingActionButton extends Button

Floating action buttons are a material design element used to promote a special action in a Form. They are represented as a floating circle with a flat icon floating above the UI typically in the bottom right area.

Simple use cases include just the button as a standalone:

    FloatingActionButton fab = FloatingActionButton.createFAB(FontImage.MATERIAL_ADD);
    fab.addActionListener(e -> ToastBar.showErrorMessage("Not implemented yet..."));
    fab.bindFabToContainer(hi.getContentPane());

The button can also nest sub actions

    FloatingActionButton fab = FloatingActionButton.createFAB(FontImage.MATERIAL_ADD);
    fab.createSubFAB(FontImage.MATERIAL_PEOPLE, "");
    fab.createSubFAB(FontImage.MATERIAL_IMPORT_CONTACTS, "");
    fab.bindFabToContainer(hi.getContentPane());

    public void setUIID(String id)

    Overriden to update the icon

    Overriden to workaround issue with caps text and different UIID's

    This method sets the Component the Unique identifier. This method should be used before a component has been initialized

    ###### Parameters

    - `id`: UIID unique identifier for component type

  - ### styleChanged

    public void styleChanged(String propertyName, Style source)

    We override this method to track style changes to the background color and map them to the border

    Invoked to indicate a change in a propertyName of a Style

    NOTE By default this will trigger a call to `Container#revalidate()` on the parent container, which is expensive. You can disable this behavior by calling `CN.setProperty("Component.revalidateOnStyleChange", "false")`. The intention is to change this behavior so that the default is to "not" revalidate on style change, so we encourage you to set this to "false" to ensure for future compatibility.

    ###### Parameters

    - `propertyName`: the property name that was changed

    - `source`: The changed Style object

    Specified by:
      `styleChanged` in interface `StyleListener`
    Overrides:
      `styleChanged` in class `Label`

  - ### createSubFAB

    - `text`: the text of the sub FloatingActionButton

    ###### Returns

    a FloatingActionButton instance for the sub FAB added

  - ### calcPreferredSize

    Overrides:
      `calcPreferredSize` in class `Button`

  - ### bindFabToContainer
