Interface ChangeListener<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:: WeakChangeListener

Functional Interface:: This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface ChangeListener<T>

A ChangeListener is notified whenever the value of an ObservableValue changes. It can be registered and unregistered with ObservableValue.addListener(ChangeListener) respectively ObservableValue.removeListener(ChangeListener)

For an in-depth explanation of change events and how they differ from invalidation events, see the documentation of ObservableValue.

The same instance of ChangeListener can be registered to listen to multiple ObservableValues.

Since:

JavaFX 2.0
