Interface StyleableProperty<T>

All Superinterfaces:
WritableValue<T>
All Known Implementing Classes:
StyleableBooleanProperty, StyleableIntegerProperty, StyleableObjectProperty
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
    invalid @link 
    javafx.application.Application#setUserAgentStylesheet(java.lang.String)
  2. value set from code, for example calling
    invalid @link 
    javafx.scene.Node#setOpacity(double)
  3. a style from an author stylesheet in Scene.getStylesheets() or
    invalid @link 
    javafx.scene.Parent#getStylesheets()
  4. a style from Node.setStyle(java.lang.String)

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