Type Parameters:
T - The type of the elements contained within the TreeTableColumn.
All Implemented Interfaces:
public class CheckBoxTreeTableCell<S,T> extends TreeTableCell<S,T>
TreeTableCell implementation that draws a CheckBox node inside the cell, optionally with a label to indicate what the checkbox represents. By default, the CheckBoxTreeTableCell is rendered with a CheckBox centred in the TreeTableColumn. If a label is required, it is necessary to provide a non-null StringConverter instance to the CheckBoxTreeTableCell(Callback, StringConverter) constructor.
To construct an instance of this class, it is necessary to provide a Callback that, given an object of type T, will return an ObservableProperty<Boolean> that represents whether the given item is selected or not. This ObservableValue will be bound bidirectionally (meaning that the CheckBox in the cell will set/unset this property based on user interactions, and the CheckBox will reflect the state of the ObservableValue, if it changes externally).
Note that the CheckBoxTreeTableCell renders the CheckBox 'live', meaning that the CheckBox is always interactive and can be directly toggled by the user. This means that it is not necessary that the cell enter its editing state (usually by the user double-clicking on the cell). A side-effect of this is that the usual editing callbacks (such as on edit commit) will not be called. If you want to be notified of changes, it is recommended to directly observe the boolean properties that are manipulated by the CheckBox.

forTreeTableColumn
public static <S> Callback<TreeTableColumn<S,Boolean>,TreeTableCell<S,Boolean>> forTreeTableColumn(TreeTableColumn<S,Boolean> column)
Creates a cell factory for use in aTreeTableColumncell factory. This method requires that the TreeTableColumn be of typeBoolean.When used in a TreeTableColumn, the CheckBoxCell is rendered with a CheckBox centered in the column.
The
ObservableValue<Boolean>contained within each cell in the column will be bound bidirectionally. This means that the CheckBox in the cell will set/unset this property based on user interactions, and the CheckBox will reflect the state of theObservableValue<Boolean>, if it changes externally).Returns:
A
Callbackthat will return aTreeTableCellthat is able to work on the type of element contained within the TreeTableColumn.

Type Parameters:
T- The type of the elements contained within theTreeTableColumninstance.Parameters:
getSelectedProperty- A Callback that, given an object of typeTreeTableColumn<S,T>, will return anObservableValue<Boolean>that represents whether the given item is selected or not. ThisObservableValue<Boolean>will be bound bidirectionally (meaning that the CheckBox in the cell will set/unset this property based on user interactions, and the CheckBox will reflect the state of theObservableValue<Boolean>, if it changes externally).Returns:

updateItem
public void updateItem(T item, boolean empty)The updateItem method should not be called by developers, but it is the best method for developers to override to allow for them to customise the visuals of the cell. To clarify, developers should never call this method in their code (they should leave it up to the UI control, such as theListViewcontrol) to call this method. However, the purpose of having the updateItem method is so that developers, when specifying custom cell factories (again, like the ListViewcell factory), the updateItem method can be overridden to allow for complete customisation of the cell.It is very important that subclasses of Cell override the updateItem method properly, as failure to do so will lead to issues such as blank cells or cells with unexpected content appearing within them. Here is an example of how to properly override the updateItem method:
protected void updateItem(T item, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(item, empty); if (empty || item == null) { setText(null); setGraphic(null); } else { setText(item.toString()); } }Note in this code sample two important points:
- We call the super.updateItem(T, boolean) method. If this is not done, the item and empty properties are not correctly set, and you are likely to end up with graphical issues.
- We test for the
emptycondition, and if true, we set the text and graphic properties to null. If we do not do this, it is almost guaranteed that end users will see graphical artifacts in cells unexpectedly.
Overrides:
updateItemin classCell<T>Parameters:
item- The new item for the cell.
