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
There is a bit of writing in my answer because it’s not exactly clear to me from your question what is going wrong with your instance. Hopefully either the explanation or the sample code in the answer is useful. I could be mistaken, but I think this is a fault in the JavaFX UI controls … Read more
@FXML private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) { System.out.println(“You clicked me!”); label.setText(“Hello World!”); //Here I want to swap the screen! Stage stageTheEventSourceNodeBelongs = (Stage) ((Node)event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow(); // OR Stage stageTheLabelBelongs = (Stage) label.getScene().getWindow(); // these two of them return the same stage // Swap screen stage.setScene(new Scene(new Pane())); }
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
With JFXtras there is a Window control, where you can add content and handle the internal window behavior. First you will need to put in your classpath the jfxtras library. They have some instructions where you can get the library. If you are using maven, just need to add: <dependency> <groupId>org.jfxtras</groupId> <artifactId>jfxtras-labs</artifactId> <version>2.2-r5</version> </dependency> Or … Read more
In FX 2.2 new API for controller-node was introduced: // create class which is both controller and node public class InnerFxmlControl extends HBox implements Initializable { @FXML public ComboBox cb; public InnerFxmlControl () { FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource(“fxml_example2.fxml”)); fxmlLoader.setRoot(this); fxmlLoader.setController(this); try { fxmlLoader.load(); } catch (IOException exception) { throw new RuntimeException(exception); } } with … Read more
JavaFX 2.2 is only partially open source. You can download the parts which are open from the zip link at: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/2.2/master/rt JavaFX 8 JavaFX 8 is completely open source today. Source for building JavaFX 8 (and the SceneBuilder design tool) is available at: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master/rt Source code for later versions (including Java 8 updates), is in … Read more
You have to use the Pagination control and implement a page factory. The factory is called for every page that should be displayed and you can use its parameter, the pageIndex, to provide a sublist of items to the TableView: TableView table = … private Node createPage(int pageIndex) { int fromIndex = pageIndex * rowsPerPage; … 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
I’d recommend wrapping the code within a FutureTask object. FutureTask is a construct useful (among other things) for executing a portion of code on one thread (usually a worker, in your case the event queue) and safely retrieving it on another. FutureTask#get will block until FutureTask#run has been invoked, therefore your password prompt could look … Read more
