I want to resize a window to fit the contents of the window. In Swing there is the pack()
method. Is there a similar method to do this in JavaFX?
What I am trying to do is to create a confirmation dialog. When I create the dialog, it is wider than the contents, so I was asking myself if I need something like the pack method.
Here is a screenshot of what is happening:
And here is my code:
mainClass.getPrimaryStage().setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(final WindowEvent e) {
e.consume();
final Stage dialog = new Stage();
dialog.setTitle("Confirm Before Exit");
dialog.setResizable(false);
dialog.initOwner(mainClass.getPrimaryStage());
dialog.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
FlowPane buttons = new FlowPane(10,10);
buttons.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
Button yes = new Button("Yes");
Button no = new Button("No");
buttons.getChildren().addAll(yes, no);
VBox box = new VBox();
box.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
box.setSpacing(10);
box.getChildren().addAll(new Label("Do you really want to exit?"), buttons);
yes.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
Platform.exit();
}
});
no.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
dialog.close();
}
});
Scene s = new Scene(box);
dialog.setScene(s);
dialog.show();
}
});
Try using sizeToScene()
I think this is it what you want. Let me give
an example:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class NewFXMain extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
});
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
primaryStage.sizeToScene();
primaryStage.show();
}
}
