Class StringProperty

java.lang.Object

javafx.beans.binding.StringExpression

javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyStringProperty

javafx.beans.property.StringProperty

All Implemented Interfaces:

Observable, Property<java.lang.String>, ReadOnlyProperty<java.lang.String>, ObservableObjectValue<java.lang.String>, ObservableStringValue, ObservableValue<java.lang.String>, WritableObjectValue<java.lang.String>, WritableStringValue, WritableValue<java.lang.String>

Direct Known Subclasses:

JavaBeanStringProperty, StringPropertyBase

public abstract class StringProperty
extends ReadOnlyStringProperty
implements Property<java.lang.String>, WritableStringValue

This class provides a full implementation of a Property wrapping a String value. The value of a StringProperty can be get and set with ObservableObjectValue.get(), StringExpression.getValue(), WritableObjectValue.set(Object), and setValue(String). A property can be bound and unbound unidirectional with Property.bind(ObservableValue) and Property.unbind(). Bidirectional bindings can be created and removed with bindBidirectional(Property) and unbindBidirectional(Property). The context of a StringProperty can be read with ReadOnlyProperty.getBean() and ReadOnlyProperty.getName().

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String v)

Set the wrapped value.

Specified by:

setValue in interface WritableValue<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

v - The new value

bindBidirectional

public void bindBidirectional(Property<java.lang.String> other)

Create a bidirectional binding between this Property and another one.

Specified by:

bindBidirectional in interface Property<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

other - the other Property

bindBidirectional

public void bindBidirectional(Property<?> other,
                     java.text.Format format)

Create a bidirectional binding between this StringProperty and another arbitrary property. Relies on an implementation of Format for conversion.

Parameters:

other - the other Property

format - the Format used to convert between this StringProperty and the other Property

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if other or format is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if other is this

bindBidirectional

public <T> void bindBidirectional(Property<T> other,
                         StringConverter<T> converter)

Create a bidirectional binding between this StringProperty and another arbitrary property. Relies on an implementation of StringConverter for conversion.

Parameters:

other - the other Property

converter - the StringConverter used to convert between this StringProperty and the other Property

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if other or converter is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if other is this

unbindBidirectional

public void unbindBidirectional(Property<java.lang.String> other)

Remove a bidirectional binding between this Property and another one. If no bidirectional binding between the properties exists, calling this method has no effect.

Specified by:

unbindBidirectional in interface Property<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

other - the other Property

unbindBidirectional

public void unbindBidirectional(java.lang.Object other)

Remove a bidirectional binding between this Property and another one. If no bidirectional binding between the properties exists, calling this method has no effect.

Parameters:

other - the other Property

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if other is null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if other is this

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this StringProperty object.

Overrides:

toString in class ReadOnlyStringProperty

Returns:

a string representation of this StringProperty object.
