/**
 * An implementation of the {@link ComboBoxBase} abstract class for the most common
 * form of ComboBox, where a popup list is shown to users providing them with
 * a choice that they may select from. For more information around the general
 * concepts and API of ComboBox, refer to the {@link ComboBoxBase} class
 * documentation.
 *
 * <p>On top of ComboBoxBase, the ComboBox class introduces additional API. Most
 * importantly, it adds an {@link #itemsProperty() items} property that works in
 * much the same way as the ListView {@link ListView#itemsProperty() items}
 * property. In other words, it is the content of the items list that is displayed
 * to users when they click on the ComboBox button.
 *
 * <p>The ComboBox exposes the {@link #valueProperty()} from
 * {@link javafx.scene.control.ComboBoxBase}, but there are some important points
 * of the value property that need to be understood in relation to ComboBox.
 * These include:
 *
 * <ol>
 *     <li>The value property <strong>is not</strong> constrained to items contained
 *     within the items list - it can be anything as long as it is a valid value
 *     of type T.</li>
 *     <li>If the value property is set to a non-null object, and subsequently the
 *     items list is cleared, the value property <strong>is not</strong> nulled out.</li>
 *     <li>Clearing the {@link javafx.scene.control.SelectionModel#clearSelection()
 *     selection} in the selection model <strong>does not</strong> null the value
 *     property - it remains the same as before.</li>
 *     <li>It is valid for the selection model to have a selection set to a given
 *     index even if there is no items in the list (or less items in the list than
 *     the given index). Once the items list is further populated, such that the
 *     list contains enough items to have an item in the given index, both the
 *     selection model {@link SelectionModel#selectedItemProperty()} and
 *     value property will be updated to have this value. This is inconsistent with
 *     other controls that use a selection model, but done intentionally for ComboBox.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>By default, when the popup list is showing, the maximum number of rows
 * visible is 10, but this can be changed by modifying the
 * {@link #visibleRowCountProperty() visibleRowCount} property. If the number of
 * items in the ComboBox is less than the value of <code>visibleRowCount</code>,
 * then the items size will be used instead so that the popup list is not
 * exceedingly long.
 *
 * <p>As with ListView, it is possible to modify the
 * {@link javafx.scene.control.SelectionModel selection model} that is used,
 * although this is likely to be rarely changed. This is because the ComboBox
 * enforces the need for a {@link javafx.scene.control.SingleSelectionModel}
 * instance, and it is not likely that there is much need for alternate
 * implementations. Nonetheless, the option is there should use cases be found
 * for switching the selection model.
 *
 * <p>As the ComboBox internally renders content with a ListView, API exists in
 * the ComboBox class to allow for a custom cell factory to be set. For more
 * information on cell factories, refer to the {@link Cell} and {@link ListCell}
 * classes. It is important to note that if a cell factory is set on a ComboBox,
 * cells will only be used in the ListView that shows when the ComboBox is
 * clicked. If you also want to customize the rendering of the 'button' area
 * of the ComboBox, you can set a custom {@link ListCell} instance in the
 * {@link #buttonCellProperty() button cell} property. One way of doing this
 * is with the following code (note the use of {@code setButtonCell}:
 *
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 * Callback<ListView<String>, ListCell<String>> cellFactory = ...;
 * ComboBox comboBox = new ComboBox();
 * comboBox.setItems(items);
 * comboBox.setButtonCell(cellFactory.call(null));
 * comboBox.setCellFactory(cellFactory);}</pre>
 *
 * <p>Because a ComboBox can be {@link #editableProperty() editable}, and the
 * default means of allowing user input is via a {@link TextField}, a
 * {@link #converterProperty() string converter} property is provided to allow
 * for developers to specify how to translate a users string into an object of
 * type T, such that the {@link #valueProperty() value} property may contain it.
 * By default the converter simply returns the String input as the user typed it,
 * which therefore assumes that the type of the editable ComboBox is String. If
 * a different type is specified and the ComboBox is to be editable, it is
 * necessary to specify a custom {@link StringConverter}.
 *
 * <h3>A warning about inserting Nodes into the ComboBox items list</h3>
 * ComboBox allows for the items list to contain elements of any type, including
 * {@link Node} instances. Putting nodes into
 * the items list is <strong>strongly not recommended</strong>. This is because
 * the default {@link #cellFactoryProperty() cell factory} simply inserts Node
 * items directly into the cell, including in the ComboBox 'button' area too.
 * Because the scenegraph only allows for Nodes to be in one place at a time,
 * this means that when an item is selected it becomes removed from the ComboBox
 * list, and becomes visible in the button area. When selection changes the
 * previously selected item returns to the list and the new selection is removed.
 *
 * <p>The recommended approach, rather than inserting Node instances into the
 * items list, is to put the relevant information into the ComboBox, and then
 * provide a custom {@link #cellFactoryProperty() cell factory}. For example,
 * rather than use the following code:
 *
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 * ComboBox<Rectangle> cmb = new ComboBox<Rectangle>();
 * cmb.getItems().addAll(
 *     new Rectangle(10, 10, Color.RED),
 *     new Rectangle(10, 10, Color.GREEN),
 *     new Rectangle(10, 10, Color.BLUE));}</pre>
 *
 * <p>You should do the following:</p>
 *
 * <pre><code>
 * ComboBox&lt;Color&gt; cmb = new ComboBox&lt;Color&gt;();
 * cmb.getItems().addAll(
 *     Color.RED,
 *     Color.GREEN,
 *     Color.BLUE);
 *
 * cmb.setCellFactory(new Callback&lt;ListView&lt;Color&gt;, ListCell&lt;Color&gt;&gt;() {
 *     &#064;Override public ListCell&lt;Color&gt; call(ListView&lt;Color&gt; p) {
 *         return new ListCell&lt;Color&gt;() {
 *             private final Rectangle rectangle;
 *             {
 *                 setContentDisplay(ContentDisplay.GRAPHIC_ONLY);
 *                 rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10);
 *             }
 *
 *             &#064;Override protected void updateItem(Color item, boolean empty) {
 *                 super.updateItem(item, empty);
 *
 *                 if (item == null || empty) {
 *                     setGraphic(null);
 *                 } else {
 *                     rectangle.setFill(item);
 *                     setGraphic(rectangle);
 *                 }
 *            }
 *       };
 *   }
 *});</code></pre>
 *
 * <p>Admittedly the above approach is far more verbose, but it offers the
 * required functionality without encountering the scenegraph constraints.
