public interface StyleableProperty<T>
extends WritableValue<T>
StyleableProperty allows a javafx.beans.property to be styled from CSS.

This interface allows coordination between CSS processing and a javafx.beans.property. The implementation ensure that the priority for setting the value is, in increasing order and assuming equal importance:

  1. a style from a user agent stylesheet in Application.setUserAgentStylesheet(java.lang.String)
  2. value set from code, for example calling Node.setOpacity(double)
  3. a style from an author stylesheet in Scene.getStylesheets() or Parent.getStylesheets()
  4. a style from Node.setStyle(java.lang.String)

The StyleablePropertyFactory greatly simplifies creating a StyleableProperty and its corresponding CssMetaData.
