I would like to align my button so that the first button is on the left of the screen and the other two are on the right. I am currently using HBox to try to position them but i cannot seem to able to figure out how to lay them out properly. The code below is what i am using now.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.Priority;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ButtonTest extends Application {
private Button min, close, openfile;
public static void main(String[] args){
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
stage.setTitle("Button Test");
Group root = new Group();
BorderPane borderpane = new BorderPane();
setUpButtons();
HBox hbox = new HBox();
hbox.setSpacing(10);
hbox.getChildren().add(openfile);
HBox hbox1 = new HBox();
hbox1.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER_RIGHT);
hbox1.getChildren().addAll(min, close);
hbox.getChildren().add(hbox1);
HBox.setHgrow(hbox1, Priority.ALWAYS);
borderpane.setTop(hbox);
root.getChildren().add(borderpane);
Scene scene = new Scene(root,800,600);
stage.setFullScreen(true);
scene.getStylesheets().add("button.css");
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
private void setUpButtons() {
close = new Button("x");
close.setId("closeBtn");
min = new Button("_");
min.setId("minBtn");
openfile = new Button("Open file");
openfile.setId("openFileBtn");
}
}
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Set the aligment of your outer HBox (hbox) to LEFT, and the aligment of your inner HBox (hbox1) to RIGHT.
Then you can have outer content on the left, and inner content on the right.
*EDIT: got your problem now. Stop using Group and add the borderpane directly to the Scene:
Scene scene = new Scene(borderpane,800,600);

Currently the code below produces a BorderPane with a GridPane in the center and a HBox on the bottom to hold two buttons. The left-most pane in the GridPane contains the text "Name Here". Right now I only want the buttons to move the text "Name Here" up and down but they will not move the text.
I think it has something to do with the particular GridPane node, but I'm not sure. Additionally, I don't know why the left-most GridPane takes up more space relative to the right-most GridPane within the center of the BorderPane.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Try using setLayoutY instead of setY:
btUp.setOnAction(e -> name.setLayoutY(name.getLayoutY() - 10));
btDown.setOnAction(e -> name.setLayoutY(name.getLayoutY() + 10));
As a sidenote, the Node parent class also has a relocate method for easily changing both the X and Y coordinates:
I am searching for how to get the selected tab from a TabPane just by clicking on a button with JavaFX. I've tried to do it with the ChangeListener but it doesn't work yet.
So how can I do that?
As with many JavaFX controls there is a SelectionModel to get first.
tabPane.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem(); To get the currently selected tab, or alternatively, getSelectedIndex() for the index of the selected tab.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.Tab;
import javafx.scene.control.TabPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TabSelect extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
TabPane tabPane = new TabPane();
tabPane.getTabs().addAll(new Tab("tab 1"),
new Tab("tab 2"),
new Tab("tab 3"));
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Which tab?");
Label label = new Label();
btn.setOnAction((evt)-> {
label.setText(tabPane.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem().getText());
});
VBox root = new VBox(10);
root.getChildren().addAll(tabPane, btn, label);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 300);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
//you can also watch the selectedItemProperty
tabPane.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener((obs,ov,nv)->{
primaryStage.setTitle(nv.getText());
});
}
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
}
tabPane.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex().
I'm extremely new to JavaFX, and I'm attempting to get a button(specifically scrapeBtn) into the bottom right corner of an application. Here is what I have so far:
package main;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Driver extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button scrapeBtn = new Button();
scrapeBtn.setText("Scrape!");
scrapeBtn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Scrape button pressed.");
}
});
TextField console = new TextField();
GridPane root = new GridPane();
GridPane.setConstraints(scrapeBtn, 2, 2, 1, 1);
root.getChildren().add(scrapeBtn);
root.getChildren().add(console);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
primaryStage.setTitle("Wiki Scraper");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
Any ideas as to how I could accomplish this? Some tips in general to aligning and formatting things with JavaFX would also be really appreciated.
Thanks.
I often use a BorderPane for similar purposes (e.g. a Dialog with some text and controls etc. at the center and one or more buttons at the bottom). Therefore, I use the BorderPane as root and a HBox as "button container" at the bottom. Finally, I set the botton alignment to "RIGHT".
Here an example based on your code:
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
// center
VBox vbCenter = new VBox(); // use any container as center pane e.g. VBox
TextField console = new TextField();
vbCenter.getChildren().add(console);
// bottom respectively "button area"
HBox hbButtons = new HBox();
Button scrapeBtn = new Button();
scrapeBtn.setText("Scrape!");
scrapeBtn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Scrape button pressed.");
}
});
hbButtons.getChildren().add(scrapeBtn);
hbButtons.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER_RIGHT);
// root
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
root.setPadding(new Insets(20)); // space between elements and window border
root.setCenter(vbCenter);
root.setBottom(hbButtons);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
primaryStage.setTitle("Wiki Scraper");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
This code leads to this (after resizing the window a little bit):
You can use two BorderPanes to place a control bottom right
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
BorderPane bottom = new BorderPane();
bottom.setRight(new Button("I am placed bottom right"));
root.setBottom(bottom);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setWidth(400);
primaryStage.setHeight(400);
primaryStage.show();
}
HiEveryone,
I'm new in JavaFx and my TextField shows at the middle of the frame but not at the top's position. Where am i suppose to be wrong? pls help..
Have a look into this screenshot..
But i want to set that TextField at the top ..
Here is Source code:
package sample;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.web.WebEngine;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start (Stage primaryStage){
primaryStage.setTitle("Modern web browser.");
WebView wv = new WebView();
WebEngine we = wv.getEngine();
we.load("http://www.google.com/");
TextField tf = new TextField("http://www.google.com/");
tf.setMaxHeight(Double.MIN_VALUE);
GridPane sp = new GridPane();
sp.getChildren().add(wv);
sp.getChildren().add(tf);
Scene scene = new Scene(sp, 600, 500);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Please help.. Thanks in Advanced!

As #Nagesh Kumar answered me after using VBox getting this error:
Change your layout to VBox from GridPane as follows
VBox vbox = new VBox();
Now first add your TextField first so that it will be on top as follows
vbox.getChildren().add(tf);
then a WebView as follows
vbox.getChildren().add(wv);
Edit:
Yes you can try this
VBox vbox = new VBox(5);
5 pixel space between controls put in VBox
HiEveryone,
I'm new Javafx and trying to change the float of this button as to Right side from the current Left side.. How to do that?
I'm using simply Pane as a container at the moment.
Have a look into this screenshot:

Use a HBox to hold the textfield and button, later add it to the Pane
HBox hbox = new HBox();
hbox.getChildren().addAll(tf, btn);
Pane sp = new Pane();
sp.getChildren().add(hbox);
sp.getChildren().add(wv);
