JavaFX Properties

JavaFX Properties

- store the inner state of a control and allow us to listen to the state change
- that means that we will be able to perform an action when the value changes

Types:

• Read / Write
• Read-Only

Usage

• import javafx.beans.property
• Read / Write
• javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty
• javafx.beans.property.SimpleDoubleProperty
• javafx.beans.property.SimpleIntegerProperty
• javafx.beans.property.SimpleBooleanProperty

• Read-Only
• javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyBooleanWrapper
• javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyIntegerWrapper
• javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyDoubleWrapper
• javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyStringWrapper

Example:

Read / Write

StringProperty value = new SimpleStringProperty("JavaFX);
value.set("JavaFX Tutorial");
System.out.println("Changed StringProperty" + value.get());
