import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;

An InvalidationListener is notified whenever an Observable becomes invalid. It can be registered and unregistered with Observable.addListener(InvalidationListener) respectively Observable.removeListener(InvalidationListener).

For an in-depth explanation of invalidation events and how they differ from change events, see the documentation of ObservableValue.

The same instance of InvalidationListener can be registered to listen to multiple Observables.

This method needs to be provided by an implementation of InvalidationListener. It is called if an Observable becomes invalid.

In general, it is considered bad practice to modify the observed value in this method.

Params:
  • observable – The Observable that became invalid
