Interface StyleableProperty<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the specific property

All Superinterfaces:

WritableValue<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleStyleableBooleanProperty, SimpleStyleableDoubleProperty, SimpleStyleableFloatProperty, SimpleStyleableIntegerProperty, SimpleStyleableLongProperty, SimpleStyleableObjectProperty, SimpleStyleableStringProperty, StyleableBooleanProperty, StyleableDoubleProperty, StyleableFloatProperty, StyleableIntegerProperty, StyleableLongProperty, StyleableObjectProperty, StyleableStringProperty

public interface StyleableProperty<T>
extends WritableValue<T>

StyleableProperty allows a javafx.beans.property to be styled from CSS.

This interface allows coordination between CSS processing and a javafx.beans.property. The implementation ensure that the priority for setting the value is, in increasing order and assuming equal importance:

1. a style from a user agent stylesheet in Application.setUserAgentStylesheet(java.lang.String)
2. value set from code, for example calling Node.setOpacity(double)
3. a style from an author stylesheet in Scene.getStylesheets() or Parent.getStylesheets()
4. a style from Node.setStyle(java.lang.String)

The StyleablePropertyFactory greatly simplifies creating a StyleableProperty and its corresponding CssMetaData.

Since:

JavaFX 8.0
