# Interface Callback<P,​R>

Type Parameters:
  `P` - The type of the argument provided to the `call` method.
  `R` - The type of the return type of the `call` method.

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `MapValueFactory`, `PropertyValueFactory`, `TreeItemPropertyValueFactory`

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 Callback<P,​R>

The Callback interface is designed to allow for a common, reusable interface to exist for defining APIs that requires a call back in certain situations.

Callback is defined with two generic parameters: the first parameter specifies the type of the object passed in to the `call` method, with the second parameter specifying the return type of the method.

Since:
  JavaFX 2.0
