I have a problem adding a gridpane to an AnchorPane in Scene Builder! The GridPane is completely out of shape as soon as I put it into the window. The actual window is at the position where it is supposed to be but the grid with the rows and columns is displaced. A screenshot shows what I mean:
Gridpane
Try updating scene builder to 2.0 or higher and re-add the GridPane or try changeing the layout settings from USE_COMPUTED_SIZE to constants. Or if it comes to it add the GridPane in java by doing:
#FXML
AnchorPane root;//This will be at the top of the page bellow where you define your class
GridPane gridPane = new GridPane();
root.getChildren().add(GridPane);//switch root out for the name of you anchor pane
I hope this helps.

I have a couple of buttons and want to collect them in a HBox and set them in a vertical row. The goal is something similar to this formation: http://vandelaydesign.com/images/navi/vertical.gif
Button addButton = new Button("Add Expense");
addButton.setOnAction(new AddExpenseGUI(rootStage, data));
Button editButton = new Button("Edit");
addButton.setOnAction(new EditButtonListener());
I tried multiple things. This was one idea of me, but I just get a horizontal formation:
HBox a = new HBox();
a.getChildren().addALL(addButton, editButton);
grid.add(a,0,0);
Any ideas?
Use a VBox and skin your buttons. See these:
Skinning JavaFX Applications with CSS
Styling FX Buttons with CSS
The H in HBox stands for Horizontal so the Pane you are looking for is VBox (for Vertical)

I'm wondering if is it possible to wrap in my main Group Panel in other kind of panels ?. Actually i can do it with code but i want to deal with it only from Scene Builder to arrange components more easily. For example you can see a simple code section of how i manage to wrap my main Group Panel in Boder Pane.
// My main panel which initialized automatically to Group Panel
rootPane = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Risk3.fxml"));
FlowPane flowPane = new FlowPane();
//Text Box 1
TextArea countryInfoText = new TextArea();
countryInfoText.setPrefWidth(100.0);
countryInfoText.maxWidth(100.0);
flowPane.getChildren().add(countryInfoText);
flowPane.setPrefWidth(countryInfoText.getPrefWidth());
BorderPane borderPane = new BorderPane();
borderPane.setCenter(rootPane);
borderPane.setLeft(flowPane);
scene = new Scene(borderPane);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
but Scene Builder doesnt let me wrap this root (or Group Panel in other words) in other Panels. You can see the snapshot below as an example.
Hope i had been clear to you and i will appreciate a lot for every response. So thanks anyway.
ok guys i made it. The trick is you have to wrap the panel with changing the source code of fxml file. So i included the line
<BorderPane id="BorderPaneDocument" fx:id="mainPanel" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="javafxapplication1.RiskControllerClass">
<center>
<Group>
.
.
</Group>
</center>
</BorderPane>
which Group was the main panel i wanted to wrap in BorderPane. So i created a Border Panel in fxml file and put the group panel on center of Border Pane. It works perfectly with this way and also i can modify every part from Scene Builder.
I want to have a menu for my program. And I like the standard Menu look and all, but I want to place a "logout-button" on the far right side of the menu-bar.. is it possible to place it there WITHOUT having to fill up the whole menu-bar with entries?
Sincerely
Yes you can. Use the HBox#setHgrow();. This javadoc page also has an example how to use it in "Optional Layout Constraints" section. Following is taken from javadoc.
For example, if an hbox needs the TextField to be allocated all extra space:
HBox hbox = new HBox();
TextField field = new TextField();
HBox.setHgrow(field, Priority.ALWAYS);
hbox.getChildren().addAll(new Label("Search:"), field, new Button("Go"));
Briefly speaking, set Priority.ALWAYS for the button (or any control) just before the "logout-button" in a HBox. More advanced example is here: Using Built-In Layout Panes : Example 1-4
I am using Java FX for a desktop application.Can i change a scene inside one scene?First scene has an anchorpane inside which one another anchor pane is included.Can i change the scene in the second anchorpane?
just load AnchorPane inside Anchorpane. no need of creatinig new scene..
AnchorPane main=new AnchorPane();
AnchorPane sub=new AnchorPane();
sub.getChildren().add(btn);
main.getChildren().add(sub);
Scene is super class to Node so i think its impossible to load scene inside Scene.
however u can switch scenes in a stage.
I am trying to add a Toolbar that is anchored to the bottom of a MonoTouch Dialog.
Here is an example:
So as you scroll, the table's contents scroll but the toolbar at the bottom remains in view always. I know how to do this by using the interface builder, but no clue as to how to do this with Mt.D. Please please tell me it can be done!
To do this, it's probably easiest to use the DialogViewController and its View as a child of another UIViewController.
Just create your public class MyViewController : UIViewController class and then create and size your child views in the override ViewDidLoad method.
