Class TreeItemPropertyValueFactory<S,T>

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.control.cell.TreeItemPropertyValueFactory<S,T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Callback<TreeTableColumn.CellDataFeatures<S,T>,ObservableValue<T>>

public class TreeItemPropertyValueFactory<S,T>
extends Object
implements Callback<TreeTableColumn.CellDataFeatures<S,T>,ObservableValue<T>>

A convenience implementation of the Callback interface, designed specifically for use within the TreeTableColumn cell value factory. An example of how to use this class is:

TreeTableColumn<Person,String> firstNameCol = new TreeTableColumn<Person,String>("First Name");
 firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory(new TreeItemPropertyValueFactory<Person,String>("firstName"));

In this example, the "firstName" string is used as a reference to an assumed firstNameProperty() method in the Person class type (which is the class type of the TreeTableView). Additionally, this method must return a Property instance. If a method meeting these requirements is found, then the TreeTableCell is populated with this ObservableValue. In addition, the TreeTableView will automatically add an observer to the returned value, such that any changes fired will be observed by the TreeTableView, resulting in the cell immediately updating.

If no method matching this pattern exists, there is fall-through support for attempting to call get<property>() or is<property>() (that is, getFirstName() or isFirstName() in the example above). If a method matching this pattern exists, the value returned from this method is wrapped in a ReadOnlyObjectWrapper and returned to the TreeTableCell. However, in this situation, this means that the TreeTableCell will not be able to observe the ObservableValue for changes (as is the case in the first approach above).

For reference (and as noted in the TreeTableColumn cell value factory documentation), the long form of the code above would be the following:

TreeTableColumn<Person,String> firstNameCol = new TreeTableColumn<Person,String>("First Name");
 firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory(new Callback<CellDataFeatures<Person, String>, ObservableValue<String>>() {
     public ObservableValue<String> call(CellDataFeatures<Person, String> p) {
         // p.getValue() returns the TreeItem instance for a particular
         // TreeTableView row, and the second getValue() call returns the
         // Person instance contained within the TreeItem.
         return p.getValue().getValue().firstNameProperty();
     }
  });
 }
