[112:7] extends: Node, Control, Region
The TableView class wraps the JavaFX TableView control, which displays data in a grid of rows and columns with sortable, resizable column headers. Each column is defined by a TableColumn that specifies the header label and a cell value factory that extracts the display value from each row object. TableView supports both row-based and cell-based selection modes, and exposes selection-change listeners for reacting when the user picks a row or cell. The tables below list every CSS property available to TableView, organized by the class level where each property is defined.
