Constructor Details

ReadOnlyListProperty

public ReadOnlyListProperty()

The constructor of ReadOnlyListProperty.

Method Details

bindContentBidirectional

public void bindContentBidirectional(ObservableList<E> list)

Creates a bidirectional content binding of the ObservableList, that is wrapped in this ReadOnlyListProperty, and another ObservableList.

A bidirectional content binding ensures that the content of two ObservableLists is the same. If the content of one of the lists changes, the other one will be updated automatically.

Parameters:: list - the ObservableList this property should be bound to
Throws:: NullPointerException - if list is null; IllegalArgumentException - if list is the same list that this ReadOnlyListProperty points to

unbindContentBidirectional

public void unbindContentBidirectional(Object object)

Deletes a bidirectional content binding between the ObservableList, that is wrapped in this ReadOnlyListProperty, and another Object.

Parameters:: object - the Object to which the bidirectional binding should be removed
Throws:: NullPointerException - if object is null; IllegalArgumentException - if object is the same list that this ReadOnlyListProperty points to

bindContent

public void bindContent(ObservableList<E> list)

Creates a content binding between the ObservableList, that is wrapped in this ReadOnlyListProperty, and another ObservableList.

A content binding ensures that the content of the wrapped ObservableLists is the same as that of the other list. If the content of the other list changes, the wrapped list will be updated automatically. Once the wrapped list is bound to another list, you must not change it directly.

Parameters:: list - the ObservableList this property should be bound to
Throws:: NullPointerException - if list is null; IllegalArgumentException - if list is the same list that this ReadOnlyListProperty points to

unbindContent

public void unbindContent(Object object)

Deletes a content binding between the ObservableList, that is wrapped in this ReadOnlyListProperty, and another Object.

Parameters:: object - the Object to which the binding should be removed
Throws:: NullPointerException - if object is null; IllegalArgumentException - if object is the same list that this ReadOnlyListProperty points to

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this ReadOnlyListProperty object.

Overrides:: toString in class Object
Returns:: a string representation of this ReadOnlyListProperty object.
