在 JavaFx 中，如何在向 ComboBox 对象添加操作后使我的 ComboBox 可编辑

Question

在 JavaFx 中，如何在向 ComboBox 对象添加 Action 后使我的 ComboBox 可编辑。当我这样做时我得到一个错误它可以工作，但我得到一个错误是缺少一些东西。我仍然是 Javafx 的新手。这是代码。

我正在尝试做的是给用户一些固定的项目以供选择，但首先如果用户从组合框中选择其他项目，那么组合框就会变得可编辑。从按钮设置可编辑的组合框效果很好。我什至做了一个方法来影响组合框。懂JAVA的请看代码。

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ComboBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class main extends Application{

    ComboBox<String> cb = new ComboBox<>();

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        launch(args);
    }

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

        Button b = new Button("GOOWE");

        Label choice = new Label("What type of Vehicle do you drive");
        cb.getItems().addAll("Car","Jeep","Bus","Other");

        cb.setPromptText("Select your Vehicle");

        cb.setOnAction(e ->{

            if (cb.getValue().equals("Other")){
                //Both the editable and cb.setEditable still give error in the terminal
                editable(cb);
                //cb.setEditable(true);
            }

        });
        VBox layout = new VBox(10);

        layout.setPadding(new Insets(10,10,10,10));
        layout.getChildren().addAll(choice,cb,b);

        b.setOnAction(e -> {

        cb.setEditable(true);

        });

        Scene sc = new Scene(layout,200,400);

        stage.setScene(sc);

        stage.show();

    }

    private void editable(ComboBox<String> cb2) {

            cb2.setEditable(true);

    }

}

这是错误

Answer 1

基本上，这是 fx8 中的一个错误：几乎所有 selectionModel 都严重损坏。代码中抛出 NPE 的确切原因有两个：

1. 动作处理程序被调用了两次，在第一次调用中，组合的值为“Other”，第二次为空（感谢@M leRutte 找到它！） - 这是 fx 中的一个错误
2. NPE 第二次发生，因为您假设if (cb.getValue().equals("Other")) 的值不为空 - 这种检查最好反过来处理，即if ("Other".equals(cb.getValue()))

但是：即使使用反向检查，在 fx8 中设置可编辑性也会引发 IndexOutOfBounds .. 原因严重破坏了 MultipleSelectionModelBase 的实现（在 fx9 中得到了改进）。如果可能，请升级。

如果不可能，即使在 fx8 中也有一种解决方法：看起来只有在弹出窗口打开时更改可编辑属性时才会发生错误。所以我把逻辑改成

• 收听组合的 valueProperty 并仅在未显示时更新可编辑
• 将 eventHandler 安装到 onHidden 以检查值并设置可编辑

还有一些小故障：

• 将焦点转移到输入字段需要调整内部结构
• 标记值（aks“Others”）没有显示在textField中，懒得深入挖掘，可能与该值暂时为null有关

修改后的例子：

public class ComboBoxActionEditable extends Application{

    ComboBox<String> cb = new ComboBox<>();

    /**
     * Sets the combo's editable if given value equals the marker.
     * @param nv the value to test
     */
    protected void updateEditable(String nv) {
        if ("Other".equals(nv)) {
            cb.setEditable(true);
            FakeFocusTextField textField = (FakeFocusTextField) cb.getEditor();
            textField.requestFocus();
            textField.setFakeFocus(true);
        }
    }

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

        Button b = new Button("GOOWE");

        Label choice = new Label("What type of Vehicle do you drive");
        cb.getItems().addAll("Car","Jeep","Bus","Other");

        cb.setPromptText("Select your Vehicle");

        cb.valueProperty().addListener((src, ov, nv) -> {
            // fx8 bug: internals blow up when changing editable while showing
            if (cb.isShowing() || cb.isEditable()) return;
            updateEditable(nv);
        });

        // hack around fx8 bug: 
        cb.setOnHidden(e -> {
            if (cb.isEditable()) return;
            updateEditable(cb.getValue());

        });

        // to see that editable is switched and textField focused
        // when changing the value programmatically
         b.setOnAction(e -> {
             cb.setValue("Other");
         });

        VBox layout = new VBox(10);
        layout.setPadding(new Insets(10,10,10,10));
        layout.getChildren().addAll(choice,cb,b);
        Scene sc = new Scene(layout,200,400);
        stage.setScene(sc);
        stage.setTitle(FXUtils.version());
        stage.show();

    }

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