As a little piece for my work i need a TableView with dynamically filled data from a List. I looked at some other samples out there in StackOverflow and also at the Oracle tutorials. But nothing fits my needs.
To meet my necessity i puzzled the different solutions together. See the working sample below.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javafx.util.Callback;
import javafx.util.StringConverter;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas;
import javafx.scene.canvas.GraphicsContext;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TableCell;
import javafx.scene.control.TableColumn;
import javafx.scene.control.TableView;
import javafx.scene.control.cell.TextFieldTableCell;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleObjectProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.application.Application;
