Copy the entire text to the clipboard. This method is intentionally non-final so that applications can implement their own logic.

Copy the text to the clipboard. This method is intentionally non-final so that applications can implement their own logic.

The text view allows the user to select text elements by double or tripple clicking on it. This property can be used to disable this behavior.

Returns:BooleanProperty

the "disable selection by mouse clicks" property

Hides javafx.scene.control.Control.getClassCssMetaData.

Doc from javafx.scene.control.Control.getClassCssMetaData.

Gets the CssMetaData associated with this class, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.

Overrides javafx.scene.Node.getContentBias.

Doc from javafx.scene.Node.getContentBias.

Returns the orientation of a node's resizing bias for layout purposes. If the node type has no bias, returns null. If the node is resizable and it's height depends on its width, returns HORIZONTAL, else if its width depends on its height, returns VERTICAL.

Resizable subclasses should override this method to return an appropriate value.

@Override

String property used to save selected skin text

Returns:String

The String property.

Overrides javafx.scene.layout.Region.getUserAgentStylesheet.

Doc from javafx.scene.layout.Region.getUserAgentStylesheet.

An implementation may specify its own user-agent styles for this Region, and its children, by overriding this method. These styles are used in addition to whatever user-agent stylesheets are in use. This provides a mechanism for third parties to introduce styles for custom controls.

The URL is a hierarchical URI of the form [scheme:][//authority][path]. If the URL does not have a [scheme:] component, the URL is considered to be the [path] component only. Any leading '/' character of the [path] is ignored and the [path] is treated as a path relative to the root of the application's classpath.

Subclasses overriding this method should not assume any particular implementation approach as to the number and frequency with which it is called. For this reason, attempting any kind of dynamic implementation (i.e. returning different user agent stylesheet values) based on some state change is highly discouraged, as there is no guarantee when, or even if, this method will be called. Some JavaFX CSS implementations may choose to cache this response for an indefinite period of time, and therefore there should be no expectation around when this method is called.

package com.example.javafx.app;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class MyApp extends Application {

    @Override public void start(Stage stage) {
        Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
        scene.getStylesheets().add("/com/example/javafx/app/mystyles.css");
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
