ListExpression is an ObservableListValue plus additional convenience methods to generate bindings in a fluent style.

A concrete sub-class of ListExpression has to implement the method ObservableObjectValue.get(), which provides the actual value of this expression.

If the wrapped list of a ListExpression is null, all methods implementing the List interface will behave as if they were applied to an immutable empty list.

Type parameters:
  • <E> – the type of the List elements.
Since:JavaFX 2.1

Returns a ListExpression that wraps a ObservableListValue. If the ObservableListValue is already a ListExpression, it will be returned. Otherwise a new ListBinding is created that is bound to the ObservableListValue.
Params:

  • <E> – the type of the wrapped List

The size of the list

An integer property that represents the size of the list.

A boolean property that is true, if the list is empty.

Creates a new ObjectBinding that contains the element at the specified position. If index points outside of the list, the ObjectBinding contains null.
Params:

Creates a StringBinding that holds the value of the ListExpression turned into a String. If the value of this ListExpression changes, the value of the StringBinding will be updated automatically.
