Type Parameters:

T - The type of the elements contained within the ListView.

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventTarget, Skinnable

public class ChoiceBoxListCell<T>
extends ListCell<T>

A class containing a ListCell implementation that draws a ChoiceBox node inside the cell.

By default, the ChoiceBoxListCell is rendered as a Label when not being edited, and as a ChoiceBox when in editing mode. The ChoiceBox will, by default, stretch to fill the entire list cell.

To create a ChoiceBoxListCell, it is necessary to provide zero or more items that will be shown to the user when the ChoiceBox menu is showing. These items must be of the same type as the ListView items sequence, such that upon selection, they replace the existing value in the items list.

converterProperty

public final ObjectProperty<StringConverter<T>> converterProperty()

The StringConverter property.

See Also:

getConverter(), setConverter(StringConverter)

setConverter

public final void setConverter(StringConverter<T> value)

Sets the StringConverter to be used in this cell.

getConverter

public final StringConverter<T> getConverter()

Returns the StringConverter used in this cell.

getItems

public ObservableList<T> getItems()

Returns the items to be displayed in the ChoiceBox when it is showing.

startEdit

public void startEdit()

Call this function to transition from a non-editing state into an editing state, if the cell is editable. If this cell is already in an editing state, it will stay in it.

Overrides:

startEdit in class ListCell<T>

cancelEdit

public void cancelEdit()

Call this function to transition from an editing state into a non-editing state, without saving any user input.

Overrides:

cancelEdit in class ListCell<T>

updateItem

public void updateItem(T item,
              boolean empty)

Updates the item associated with this Cell. This method should only be called by Skin implementations of ListView, TableView, TreeView, or other controls using Cells. It is not intended to be called by application developers.

Because null is a perfectly valid value in the application domain, Cell needs some way to distinguish whether or not the cell actually holds a value. The empty flag indicates this. It is an error to supply a non-null item but a true value for empty.

Overrides:

updateItem in class Cell<T>

Parameters:

item - The new item for the cell

empty - whether or not this cell represents data from the list. If it is empty, then it does not represent any domain data, but is a cell being used to render an "empty" row.
