Hi,

please consider the following sample code. I am just putting a Button and a CheckBox inside a Cell. (in real project their appearence is determined by the item, therefore it must be done in the updateItem method).

It seems, that everytime I click the Button or CheckBox, the updateItem method is called again, but the click is never executed on the button/checkbox.

Is there a workaround? I don't think I am doing something wrong, because the code is pretty simple.


import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.CheckBox;
import javafx.scene.control.ListCell;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Callback;


public class TestApp5 extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch();
    }

    @Override
    public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {

        ListView<String> listView = new ListView<String>();
        listView.setItems(FXCollections.<String>observableArrayList("Item 1"));
        listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<String>, ListCell<String>>() {
            @Override
            public ListCell<String> call(ListView<String> stringListView) {
                ListCell<String> listCell = new ListCell<String>() {
                    @Override
                    protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
                        super.updateItem(item, empty);

                        setGraphic(null);
                        if (item != null) {
                            Button button = new Button();
                            button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
                                @Override
                                public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
                                    System.out.println("Button clicked");
                                }
                            });
                            HBox hBox = new HBox();
                            hBox.getChildren().addAll(button, new CheckBox());

                            setGraphic(hBox);
                        }
                    }
                };

                return listCell;
            }
        });


        Scene scene = new Scene(listView);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
}
