  • forTreeTableColumn

    @SafeVarargs
    public static <S,T> Callback<TreeTableColumn<S,T>,TreeTableCell<S,T>> forTreeTableColumn(T... items)

    Creates a ComboBox cell factory for use in TreeTableColumn controls. By default, the ComboBoxCell is rendered as a Label when not being edited, and as a ComboBox when in editing mode. The ComboBox will, by default, stretch to fill the entire list cell.

    Type Parameters:

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

    Parameters:

    items - Zero or more items that will be shown to the user when the ComboBox menu is showing. These items must be of the same type as the TreeTableColumn. Note that it is up to the developer to set event handlers to listen to edit events in the TreeTableColumn, and react accordingly. Methods of interest include setOnEditStart, setOnEditCommit, and setOnEditCancel.

    Returns:

    A Callback that will return a TreeTableCell that is able to work on the type of element contained within the TreeTableColumn.

    Parameters:

    converter - A StringConverter to convert the given item (of type T) to a String for displaying to the user.

    Returns:

    A Callback that will return a TreeTableCell that is able to work on the type of element contained within the TreeTableColumn.

    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 TreeTableCell<S,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:

  • 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 the ListView control) to call this method. However, the purpose of having the updateItem method is so that developers, when specifying custom cell factories (again, like the ListView cell 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:

    1. 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.
    2. We test for the empty condition, 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:

    updateItem in class Cell<T>

    Parameters:

    item - The new item for the cell.
