clearSoftkeys

Removes softkey assignments for the widget.

setProp

Assigns a value to the specified widget property and returns the widget. This function can be used to chain multiple property assignments.

setSoftkey

Sets the label and (optionally) handler for a specific softkey when this widget has keyboard focus.

setSoftkeyIcon

Sets an image object to display at the top left corner of the softkey. Useful for indicating a hard key that calls the same handler. Suggested image size is 5x5 pixels.
