JavaFX TextArea onSelectionChange method

Question

Can I somehow implement a onSelectionChange method for my JavaFX Textarea? I want some code to fire on the selection change event but looks like, it doesn't have such a method. Is it possible to implement it with listeners?

Answer 1

Just add a listener to the text area's selected text:

textArea.selectedTextProperty().addListener((obs, oldSelection, newSelection) -> {
    // ...
});
