    • setVerboseToString

      static void setVerboseToString(boolean verbose)
      Sets the verbose mode for Object.toString() implementations of PresentationModel. Looking at the implementation of javafx.scene.control.cell.DefaultTreeCell<T>, the code always calls toString() during an update, even though the text value is later overridden; hence, this method should be as fast as possible. By default, the shortened class name and system id of the owner object is returned; set verbosity to have the owner object toString() called instead. It is also possible to set system the property it.tidalwave.ui.core.role.PresentationModel.verboseToString.
      Parameters:
      verbose - the verbosity
