JavaFX BorderPane set multiple buttons to Bottom?
Is it possible to have multiple Buttons set to Bottom (left, center, right)?
This is what I tried:
private Pane createPane() { BorderPane rootPane = new BorderPane(); rootPane.setTop(createMenueBar()); rootPane.setCenter(createTableView(model.getIssues())); rootPane.setBottom(createDeleteIssueButton()); rootPane.setBottom(createCloseIssueButton()); rootPane.setBottom(createCreateNewIssueButton()); BorderPane.setAlignment(deleteIssueButton, Pos.BOTTOM_LEFT); BorderPane.setAlignment(closeIssueButton, Pos.BOTTOM_CENTER); BorderPane.setAlignment(createIssueButton, Pos.BOTTOM_RIGHT); return rootPane; } Result:
As you can see it only shows the last added Button. What is the best way to get this done with JavaFX/BorderPane? I’m very new to this so let me know if you need any more info!
Nested layouts
Gather the multiple buttons into a layout manager. Place that layout manager object in the bottom position of your BorderPane.
For example, you might choose FlowPane as your layout manager.
FlowPane buttons = new FlowPane() ; buttons.getChildren().addAll( deleteIssueButton , closeIssueButton , createIssueButton ) ; The BorderPane places only a single widget in the bottom slot. You want your container of buttons to be that widget.
BorderPane rootPane = new BorderPane(); rootPane.setBottom( buttons ) ; Your use of Pos.BOTTOM_LEFT and such determines where the widget is placed within the bottom slot. The BOTTOM in BOTTOM_LEFT means bottom slot of the given space within a slot, not the bottom of the BorderPane. Two different bottoms involved here.
BorderPane.setAlignment( buttons , Pos.CENTER ) ;
