public interface ItsNatComponent
extends ItsNatUserData

Is the base interface which every ItsNat component implements.

Some components have property change tracking like ItsNatLabel and ItsNatHTMLInputTextFormatted components. If no property is tracked by the component, listeners registered using addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener) addPropertyChangeListener(String,PropertyChangeListener) or addVetoableChangeListener(VetoableChangeListener) are never called.
