public CellEditEvent(TableView<S> table, TablePosition<S,T> pos, EventType<TableColumn.CellEditEvent<S,T>> eventType, T newValue)

Creates a new event that can be subsequently fired to the relevant listeners.

Parameters:: table - The TableView on which this event occurred.; pos - The position upon which this event occurred.; eventType - The type of event that occurred.; newValue - The value input by the end user.

Method Details

getTableView

public TableView<S> getTableView()

Returns the TableView upon which this event occurred.

Returns:: The TableView control upon which this event occurred.

getTablePosition

public TablePosition<S,T> getTablePosition()

Returns the position upon which this event occurred.

Returns:: The position upon which this event occurred.

getNewValue

public T getNewValue()

Returns the new value input by the end user. This is not the value to go back into the TableView.items list - this new value represents just the input for a single cell, so it is likely that it needs to go back into a property within an item in the TableView.items list.

Returns:: An Object representing the new value input by the user.

getOldValue

public T getOldValue()

Attempts to return the old value at the position referred to in the TablePosition returned by getTablePosition(). This may return null for a number of reasons.

Returns:: Returns the value stored in the position being edited, or null if it can not be retrieved.
