JavaFX is bundled with JRE 8 and JDK 8. The JavaFX jar is jfxrt.jar and resides in the ext folder. To deploy an application the only requisite is that the JRE 8 is properly installed. There are similarities between JavaFX and Swing, but also differences. The best way to start is by reading the documentation … Read more
Unfortunately, Spinner doesn’t behave as expected: in most OS, it should commit the edited value on focus lost. Even more unfortunate, it doesn’t provide any configuration option to easily make it behave as expected. So we have to manually commit the value in a listener to the focusedProperty. On the bright side, Spinner already has … Read more
I have used this library: fontastic font maker And that is how it works: How to create a new Fontastic object: Fontastic f = new Fontastic(this, “ExampleFont”); // Create a new Fontastic object How to set further font properties: f.setAuthor(“Andreas Koller”); // Set author name – will be saved in TTF file too How to … Read more
inputController::handleFileSelection is Java syntax, which isn’t supported or needed in Scala because it already had a short syntax for lambdas like this: inputController.handleFileSelection _ or inputController.handleFileSelection(_) (inputController.handleFileSelection can also work, depending on the context). However, in Java you can use lambdas and method references when any SAM (single abstract method) interface is expected, and EventHandler … Read more
You can style your dialogs with your own css file, but for that you need to take into consideration that the dialog is in fact a new stage, with a new scene, and the root node is a DialogPane instance. So once you create some dialog instance: @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) { Alert alert … Read more
I use the next hack for this via Reflection public static void hackTooltipStartTiming(Tooltip tooltip) { try { Field fieldBehavior = tooltip.getClass().getDeclaredField(“BEHAVIOR”); fieldBehavior.setAccessible(true); Object objBehavior = fieldBehavior.get(tooltip); Field fieldTimer = objBehavior.getClass().getDeclaredField(“activationTimer”); fieldTimer.setAccessible(true); Timeline objTimer = (Timeline) fieldTimer.get(objBehavior); objTimer.getKeyFrames().clear(); objTimer.getKeyFrames().add(new KeyFrame(new Duration(250))); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
I never did find and answer to this. Instead, I would null the node on hide and restore it back on view. For intensive dynamic nodes/multiple nodes I created a hash map to store them in memory. This has sort of become a habit for me in javafx8 to dispose all graphics and reassign on … 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
I found the solution in this discussion: https://community.oracle.com/thread/3538169 First I needed this: .scroll-pane > .viewport { -fx-background-color: transparent; } Then I could set the background color to whatever I like. In this case, I’m making all ScrollPane backgrounds transparent: .scroll-pane { -fx-background-color: transparent; }
The selectedItem in the selection model is an observable property, so you should be able to achieve this with: tableview1.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener((obs, oldSelection, newSelection) -> { if (newSelection != null) { tableview2.getSelectionModel().clearSelection(); } }); tableview2.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener((obs, oldSelection, newSelection) -> { if (newSelection != null) { tableview1.getSelectionModel().clearSelection(); } });
