The other question I have is why does the ObservableValue require a cast
to StringProperty in both of the working examples and why do I declare
it as <? extends String>?
class LengthListener<String> implements ChangeListener<String> {
private final int length;
public LengthListener(int length) {
this.length = length;
}
@Override public void changed(
ObservableValue<? extends String> observable,
String oldValue,String newValue) {
if (newValue.length() > length)
((StringProperty)observable).setValue(
newValue.substring(0,length));
}
}
textField.textProperty().addListener(new LengthListener(4));
Formal type of observable:
interface javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue
Actual ype of observable:
class javafx.scene.control.TextInputControl$TextProperty
**** class javafx.beans.property.StringProperty
******** interface javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue
The cast is necessary!

OK, I see now. Thanks for that too Arne.
