GroupBox / TitledBorder in JavaFX 2?

by

No such standard control, but it it is easy to create your own. Here is a sample implementation:

/** Places content in a bordered pane with a title. */
class BorderedTitledPane extends StackPane {
  BorderedTitledPane(String titleString, Node content) {
    Label title = new Label(" " + titleString + " ");
    title.getStyleClass().add("bordered-titled-title");
    StackPane.setAlignment(title, Pos.TOP_CENTER);

    StackPane contentPane = new StackPane();
    content.getStyleClass().add("bordered-titled-content");
    contentPane.getChildren().add(content);

    getStyleClass().add("bordered-titled-border");
    getChildren().addAll(title, contentPane);
  }
}

And the accompanying css for it:

.label {
  -fx-font: 28px Vivaldi;
}

.bordered-titled-title {
  -fx-background-color: white;
  -fx-translate-y: -16;
}

.bordered-titled-border {
  -fx-content-display: top;
  -fx-border-insets: 20 15 15 15;
  -fx-background-color: white;
  -fx-border-color: black;
  -fx-border-width: 2;
}

.bordered-titled-content {
  -fx-padding: 26 10 10 10;
}

The code is from a example I created in response to an Oracle JavaFX forum thread post “Equivalent to BorderFactory.createTitledBorder”.

The output of the example program is as shown below.
