Method Detail
-
getSkinnable
C getSkinnable()
Gets the Skinnable to which this Skin is assigned. A Skin must be created for one and only one Skinnable. This value will only ever go from a non-null to null value when the Skin is removed from the Skinnable, and only as a consequence of a call todispose().The caller who constructs a Skinnable must also construct a Skin and properly establish the relationship between the Control and its Skin.
Returns:
A non-null Skinnable, or null value if disposed.
-
getNode
Node getNode()
Gets the Node which represents this Skin. This must never be null, except after a call todispose(), and must never change except when changing to null.Returns:
A non-null Node, except when the Skin has been disposed.
-
dispose
void dispose()
Called by a Skinnable when the Skin is replaced on the Skinnable. This method allows a Skin to implement any logic necessary to clean up itself after the Skin is no longer needed. It may be used to release native resources. The methodsgetSkinnable()andgetNode()should return null following a call to dispose. Calling dispose twice has no effect.
