The class ObjectPropertyBase is the base class for a property wrapping an arbitrary Object. It provides all the functionality required for a property except for the ReadOnlyProperty.getBean() and ReadOnlyProperty.getName() methods, which must be implemented by extending classes.
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the type of the wrapped value
See Also:
Since:JavaFX 2.0
