Returns:UnaryOperator<TextFormatter.Change> the filter for this formatter or null if there is none

The value is updated when the control loses it's focus or it is committed (TextField only). Setting the value will update the text of the control, using the provided converter. If it's impossible to convert text to value, an exception should be thrown. Returns:StringConverter<V> StringConverter for values or null if none provided See Also `javafx.scene.control.TextField#commitValue()`, `javafx.scene.control.TextField#cancelEdit()`

public final Class TextFormatter.Change

Class Inheritance

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.control.TextFormatter.Change

All Implemented Interfaces

java.lang.Cloneable

Contains the state representing a change in the content or selection for a TextInputControl. This object is passed to any registered formatter on the TextInputControl whenever the text for the TextInputControl is modified.

This class contains state and convenience methods for determining what change occurred on the control. It also has a reference to the TextInputControl itself so that the developer may query any other state on the control. Note that you should never modify the state of the control directly from within the formatter handler.

The Change of the text is described by range (getRangeStart(), getRangeEnd()) and text (getText(). There are 3 cases that can occur:

Some text was deleted: In this case, text is empty and range denotes the range of deleted text. E.g. In text "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", removal of the second word would result in range being (6,11) and an empty text. Similarly, if you want to delete some different or additional text, just set the range. If you want to remove first word instead of the second, just call setRange(0,5)
Some text was added: Now the range is empty (means nothing was deleted), but it's value is still important. Both the start and end of the range point to the index where the new text was added. E.g. adding "ipsum " to "Lorem dolor sit amet" would result in a change with range of (6,6) and text containing the String "ipsum ".
Some text was replaced: The combination of the 2 cases above. Both text and range are not empty. The text in range is deleted and replaced by text in the Change. The new text is added instead of the old text, which is at the beginning of the range. E.g. when some text is being deleted, you can simply replace it by some placeholder text just by setting a new text (setText("new text"))

The Change is mutable, but not observable. It should be used only for the life of a single change. It is intended that the Change will be modified from within the formatter.

clone back to summary

clone	back to summary
public TextFormatter.Change clone() Overrides java.lang.Object.clone. Doc from java.lang.Object.clone. Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object `x`, the expression: x.clone() != x will be true, and that the expression: x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass() will be `true`, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that: x.clone().equals(x) will be `true`, this is not an absolute requirement. By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling `super.clone`. If a class and all of its superclasses (except `Object`) obey this convention, it will be the case that `x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()`. By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by `super.clone` before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by `super.clone` need to be modified.
