Climbing the class hierarchy from MetalTextFieldUI up to
BasicTextFieldUI, I find the method
/**
* Fetches the name used as a key to lookup properties through the
* UIManager. This is used as a prefix to all the standard
* text properties.
*
* @return the name ("TextField")
*/
protected String getPropertyPrefix() {
return "TextField";
}
... which sort of looks like what you're after. (But I haven't
researched any other delegate classes, so it's possible they're
different.)
