Class StringProperty

java.lang.Object

javafx.beans.binding.StringExpression

javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyStringProperty

javafx.beans.property.StringProperty

All Implemented Interfaces:

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

Direct Known Subclasses:

JavaBeanStringProperty, StringPropertyBase

public abstract class StringProperty
extends ReadOnlyStringProperty
implements Property<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(), ObservableValue.getValue(), WritableObjectValue.set(Object), and WritableValue.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 Property.bindBidirectional(Property) and unbindBidirectional(Property). The context of a StringProperty can be read with ReadOnlyProperty.getBean() and ReadOnlyProperty.getName().

Since:

JavaFX 2.0

Constructor Details

StringProperty

public StringProperty()

Creates a default StringProperty.

Method Details

bindBidirectional

public void bindBidirectional(Property<?> other,
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:

NullPointerException - if other or format is null

IllegalArgumentException - if other is this

Since:

JavaFX 2.1

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.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the wrapped Object

Parameters:

other - the other Property

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

Throws:

NullPointerException - if other or converter is null

IllegalArgumentException - if other is this

Since:

JavaFX 2.1

unbindBidirectional

public void unbindBidirectional(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:

NullPointerException - if other is null

IllegalArgumentException - if other is this

Since:

JavaFX 2.1

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this StringProperty object.

Overrides:

toString in class ReadOnlyStringProperty

Returns:

a string representation of this StringProperty object.
