I just found out that Paul Marshall’s answer can be reducted to a one-liner using Bindings.size that creates a numeric jfx property representing the size of an ObservableList : listView.prefHeightProperty().bind(Bindings.size(itemListProperty).multiply(LIST_CELL_HEIGHT)); The list cell height must sadly still be hardcoded AFAIK.
Probably really late to the party, but I use another approach which might be helpful for others too. There’s no -fx-margin: 5px; CSS property for JavaFX buttons, but you can workaround the behaviour with a combination of -fx-padding, -fx-border-insets and -fx-background-insets. For example a button with a 5px margin. .button-with-margin { -fx-padding: 5px; -fx-border-insets: 5px; … Read more
Main Difference between Task and Service – One Time versus Repeated Execution A Task is a one off thing – you can only use a Task once. If you want to perform the same Task again, you need to construct a new Task instance. A Service has a reusable interface so that you can start … Read more
If you want to disable only the maximize button then use : stage.resizableProperty().setValue(Boolean.FALSE); or if u want to disable maximize and minimize except close use stage.initStyle(StageStyle.UTILITY); or if you want to remove all three then use stage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
Update: For an up-to-date tutorial, please, consult the official documentation. There was a lot of new stuff that was added in 2.2. Also, the Introduction to FXML covers pretty much everything you need to know about FXML. Finally, Hendrik Ebbers made an extremely helpful blog post about custom UI controls. After a few days of … Read more
After 3 years I come back to this problem again, some suggestions are calculating the size of text of data in each cell (it’s complicated depending on font size, font family, padding…) But I realize that when I click on the divider on table header, it’s resized fit to content as I want. So I … Read more
VBox supports spacing out of the box: VBox menuButtons = new VBox(5); or menuButtons.setSpacing(5);
If your total number of columns are pre-known. You can distribute the column widths among the tableview’s width: nameCol.prefWidthProperty().bind(personTable.widthProperty().divide(4)); // w * 1/4 surnameCol.prefWidthProperty().bind(personTable.widthProperty().divide(2)); // w * 1/2 emailCol.prefWidthProperty().bind(personTable.widthProperty().divide(4)); // w * 1/4 In this code, the width proportions of columns are kept in sync when the tableview is resized, so you don’t need to … Read more
If you just want a button to open up a new window, then something like this works: btnOpenNewWindow.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() { public void handle(ActionEvent event) { Parent root; try { root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(“path/to/other/view.fxml”), resources); Stage stage = new Stage(); stage.setTitle(“My New Stage Title”); stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 450, 450)); stage.show(); // Hide this current window (if this is … Read more
Found a solution. If I just create a JFXPanel from Swing EDT before invoking JavaFX Platform.runLater it works. I don’t know how reliable this solution is, I might choose JFXPanel and JFrame if turns out to be unstable. public class BootJavaFX { public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() … Read more
