    public class ComboBoxTableCell<S,T>
extends TableCell<S,T>
    A class containing a TableCell implementation that draws a ComboBox node inside the cell.

    By default, the ComboBoxTableCell is rendered as a Label when not being edited, and as a ComboBox when in editing mode. The ComboBox will, by default, stretch to fill the entire table cell.

    To create a ComboBoxTableCell, it is necessary to provide zero or more items that will be shown to the user when the ComboBox menu is showing. These items must be of the same type as the TableColumn.

public static <S,T> Callback<TableColumn<S,T>,TableCell<S,T>> forTableColumn​(T... items)
        Creates a ComboBox cell factory for use in TableColumn controls. By default, the ComboBoxCell is rendered as a Label when not being edited, and as a ComboBox when in editing mode. The ComboBox will, by default, stretch to fill the entire list cell.
        Type Parameters:
        S - The type of the TableView generic type

Methods of interest include setOnEditStart, setOnEditCommit, and setOnEditCancel.
        Returns:
        A Callback that will return a TableCell that is able to work on the type of element contained within the TableColumn.
