Question

I have a class named TransactionWrapper I\'m using to populate my ObservableList for the TableView in my application. This wrapper has an attribute (enum) indicating whether

Figured it out! Thanks for the idea James, but I went a bit of a different way. Here's the code for anyone in the future reading this post:

amountCol.setCellFactory(new Callback<TableColumn<TransactionWrapper, String>, 
            TableCell<TransactionWrapper, String>>()
            {
                @Override
                public TableCell<TransactionWrapper, String> call(
                        TableColumn<TransactionWrapper, String> param)
                {
                    return new TableCell<TransactionWrapper, String>()
                    {
                        @Override
                        protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty)
                        {
                            if (!empty)
                            {
                                int currentIndex = indexProperty()
                                        .getValue() < 0 ? 0
                                        : indexProperty().getValue();
                                TransactionTypes type = param
                                        .getTableView().getItems()
                                        .get(currentIndex).getTransaction()
                                        .getTransactionType();
                                if (type.equals(TransactionTypes.DEPOSIT))
                                {
                                    setTextFill(Color.GREEN);
                                    setText("+ " + item);
                                } else
                                {
                                    setTextFill(Color.RED);
                                    setText("- " + item);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    };
                }
            });

The param.getTableView().getItems().get(currentIndex) was key.. had to drill into the parent a bit there, but it got the job done. The biggest challange there was finding the index. Felt a bit silly when I figure out that the indexProperty() function existed.. lol. Didn't think to look at the class level functions that were available. Happy coding!
