# Interface InvalidationListener

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `WeakInvalidationListener`

Functional Interface:
  This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface InvalidationListener
An `InvalidationListener` is notified whenever an `Observable` becomes invalid. It can be registered and unregistered with `Observable.addListener(InvalidationListener)` respectively `Observable.removeListener(InvalidationListener)`.

For an in-depth explanation of invalidation events and how they differ from change events, see the documentation of `ObservableValue`.

The same instance of `InvalidationListener` can be registered to listen to multiple `Observables`.

  JavaFX 2.0
