Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`addModelToViewListener(ModelToViewListener listener)`	Adds a model-to-view listener. The listener will be invoked before the binding operation. If the control is a container, the listener will be invoked if any of the container's components get updated.
`void`	`addViewToModelListener(ViewToModelListener listener)`	Adds a view-to-model listener. The listener will be invoked after the binding operation. If the control is a container, the listener will be invoked if any of the container's components update the model.
`javafx.beans.property.ReadOnlyBooleanProperty`	`changeableProperty()`	Gets the changaeble property.
`FxControlDelegate`	`getDelegate()`	Gets the lazily created component delegate.
`java.lang.String`	`getHelpUrl()`	Gets the online-help URL.
`FxContainer`	`getParentContainer()`	Gets the parent container.
`void`	`invalidateSavedView()`	Invalidates the saved view.
`boolean`	`isBindable()`	Determines whether this container is bindable.
`boolean`	`isChangeable()`	Returns if this control is changeable.
`boolean`	`isContainerChangeableIgnored()`	Returns whether setContainerChangeable is ignored by this control.
`boolean`	`isViewModified()`	Returns whether the user has modified the view since the last `updateView()`.
`void`	`removeModelToViewListener(ModelToViewListener listener)`	Removes a model-to-view listener.
`void`	`removeViewToModelListener(ViewToModelListener listener)`	Removes a view-to-model listener.
`void`	`saveView()`	Creates a copy of the value shown to the user.
`void`	`setBindable(boolean bindable)`	Sets whether this control is bindable, i.e.
`void`	`setChangeable(boolean changeable)`	Set the control to be changeable. This is a unified abstraction and will be translated to setEditable or setDisabled, whatever is appropriate to this control.
`void`	`setContainerChangableIgnored(boolean containerChangeableIgnored)`	Sets whether to ignore setContainerChangeable.
`void`	`setContainerChangeable(boolean containerChangeable)`	Invoked when setChangeable() is invoked on the container of this component.
`void`	`setHelpUrl(java.lang.String helpUrl)`	Sets the online-help URL. If a help url is set, a browser will be launched to show that url if there is no help url for the control the help was requested for.
`void`	`setViewModified(boolean viewModified)`	Sets whether the view has been modified.
`void`	`showHelp()`	Displays online help if configured.
`java.lang.String`	`toGenericString()`	Returns the classname plus optional fx:id.
`void`	`triggerViewModified()`	Walks up the component hierarchy and updates the viewModified property. This is done by comparing the saved view value with the current view.
`void`	`updateModel()`	Updates the model according to the view.
`void`	`updateView()`	Updates the view according to the model.
`javafx.beans.property.BooleanProperty`	`viewModifiedProperty()`	Gets the viewModified property.

```
    Gets the changaeble property.
    
    Returns:
    
    the property
  - setContainerChangeable
```
void setContainerChangeable(boolean containerChangeable)
```
    Invoked when setChangeable() is invoked on the container of this component.
    
    Parameters:
    
    containerChangeable - true if container is changeable, false if all components readonly
  - setContainerChangableIgnored
```
void setContainerChangableIgnored(boolean containerChangeableIgnored)
```
    Sets whether to ignore setContainerChangeable.
    
    Parameters:
    
    containerChangeableIgnored - true if ignore, default is false
  - isContainerChangeableIgnored
```
boolean isContainerChangeableIgnored()
```
    Returns whether setContainerChangeable is ignored by this control.
