The class ListPropertyBase is the base class for a property wrapping an ObservableList. 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:
  • <E> – the type of the List elements

Since:JavaFX 2.1
