javafx GridPane retrieve specific Cell content

I want to retrieve the content of one specific cell in a Gridpane. I have put buttons in the cells with the 

setConstraints(btt , 0 ,1 ) 

setConstraints(btt , 0 ,2 )

getChildren().add....

In my case the GridPane.getChildren.get(10) is not good. I want to go directly to the cell(4,2) and get its content.

Solution

  • Well I guess if there is no solution to get a specific node from gridpane by is column and row index, I have a function to do that,

    private Node getNodeFromGridPane(GridPane gridPane, int col, int row) {
    for (Node node : gridPane.getChildren()) {
        if (GridPane.getColumnIndex(node) == col && GridPane.getRowIndex(node) == row) {
            return node;
        }
    }
    return null;
}
