      • bindBidirectional

        public void bindBidirectional​(Property<Boolean> other)
        Create a bidirectional binding between this Property and another one. Bidirectional bindings exists independently of unidirectional bindings. So it is possible to add unidirectional binding to a property with bidirectional binding and vice-versa. However, this practice is discouraged.

        It is possible to have multiple bidirectional bindings of one Property.

        JavaFX bidirectional binding implementation use weak listeners. This means bidirectional binding does not prevent properties from being garbage collected.

        Specified by:
        bindBidirectional in interface Property<Boolean>
        Parameters:
        other - the other Property
      • unbindBidirectional

        public void unbindBidirectional​(Property<Boolean> 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. It is possible to unbind by a call on the second property. This code will work:
             property1.bindBirectional(property2);
             property2.unbindBidirectional(property1);
         
        Specified by:
        unbindBidirectional in interface Property<Boolean>
        Parameters:
        other - the other Property
      • toString

        public String toString​()
        Returns a string representation of this BooleanProperty object.
        Overrides:
        toString in class ReadOnlyBooleanProperty
        Returns:
        a string representation of this BooleanProperty object.
      • booleanProperty

        public static BooleanProperty booleanProperty​(Property<Boolean> property)
        Returns a BooleanProperty that wraps a Property. If the Property is already a BooleanProperty, it will be returned. Otherwise a new BooleanProperty is created that is bound to the Property. Note: null values in the source property will be interpreted as "false"
        Parameters:
        property - The source Property
        Returns:
        A BooleanProperty that wraps the Property if necessary
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if property is null

      • asObject

        public ObjectProperty<Boolean> asObject​()
        Creates an ObjectProperty that holds the value of this BooleanProperty. If the value of this BooleanProperty changes, the value of the ObjectProperty will be updated automatically.
        Overrides:
        asObject in class ReadOnlyBooleanProperty
        Returns:
        the new ObjectProperty
