How do specify a width percentage in JavaFX 2 using FXML?

by

I’m not sure you can. You need to use the GridPane layout component. In this component, you can specify rows and columns constraints, and in these constraints you can specify a width as a percentage. For example:

<GridPane>
    <children>
        <TitledPane text="testGridPane" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="0" />
    </children>
    <columnConstraints>
        <ColumnConstraints hgrow="SOMETIMES" minWidth="10.0" percentWidth="80.0" prefWidth="100.0" />
        <ColumnConstraints hgrow="SOMETIMES" minWidth="10.0" percentWidth="20.0" prefWidth="100.0" />
    </columnConstraints>
    <rowConstraints>
        <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" vgrow="SOMETIMES" />
    </rowConstraints>
</GridPane>

This code defines a GridPane with a first column with a width of 80%. The TitledPane is set in the first cell of the first column of this GridPane, and can (because you need to be sure that the width constraints of the TitledPane match your needs) occupy 80% of the width of the GridPane.

Please note that I removed all information not relevant to your question. By the way, Oracle’s Scene Builder tool is very useful to define complex FXML layout.
