Class ChoiceBox<T>

javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:: Styleable, EventTarget, Skinnable

@DefaultProperty("items")
public class ChoiceBox<T>
extends Control

The ChoiceBox is used for presenting the user with a relatively small set of predefined choices from which they may choose. The ChoiceBox, when "showing", will display to the user these choices and allow them to pick exactly one choice. When not showing, the current choice is displayed.

By default, the ChoiceBox has no item selected unless otherwise specified. Although the ChoiceBox will only allow a user to select from the predefined list, it is possible for the developer to specify the selected item to be something other than what is available in the predefined list. This is required for several important use cases. Configuration of the ChoiceBox is order independent. You may either specify the items and then the selected item, or you may specify the selected item and then the items. Either way will function correctly.

ChoiceBox item selection is handled by SelectionModel. As with ListView and ComboBox, it is possible to modify the SelectionModel that is used, although this is likely to be rarely changed. ChoiceBox supports only a single selection model, hence the default used is a SingleSelectionModel.

Example:

 ChoiceBox cb = new ChoiceBox();
 cb.getItems().addAll("item1", "item2", "item3");

Since:: JavaFX 2.0

Property Details

selectionModel

public final ObjectProperty<SingleSelectionModel<T>> selectionModelProperty

The selection model for the ChoiceBox. Only a single choice can be made, hence, the ChoiceBox supports only a SingleSelectionModel. Generally, the main interaction with the selection model is to explicitly set which item in the items list should be selected, or to listen to changes in the selection to know which item has been chosen.

See Also:: getSelectionModel(), setSelectionModel(SingleSelectionModel)

showing

public final ReadOnlyBooleanProperty showingProperty

Indicates whether the drop down is displaying the list of choices to the user. This is a readonly property which should be manipulated by means of the #show and #hide methods.

See Also:: isShowing()

items

public final ObjectProperty<ObservableList<T>> itemsProperty

The items to display in the choice box. The selected item (as indicated in the selection model) must always be one of these items.

See Also:: getItems(), setItems(ObservableList)

converter

public ObjectProperty<StringConverter<T>> converterProperty

Allows a way to specify how to represent objects in the items list. When a StringConverter is set, the object toString method is not called and instead its toString(object T) is called, passing the objects in the items list. This is useful when using domain objects in a ChoiceBox as this property allows for customization of the representation. Also, any of the pre-built Converters available in the javafx.util.converter package can be set.

Since:: JavaFX 2.1
See Also:: getConverter(), setConverter(StringConverter)

value

public ObjectProperty<T> valueProperty

The value of this ChoiceBox is defined as the selected item in the ChoiceBox selection model. The valueProperty is synchronized with the selectedItem. This property allows for bi-directional binding of external properties to the ChoiceBox and updates the selection model accordingly.

Since:: JavaFX 2.1
See Also:: getValue(), setValue(T)

onAction

public final ObjectProperty<EventHandler<ActionEvent>> onActionProperty
