I have a JavaFx application and to get my specific Layout I used a few H- and VBoxes. In one HBox I have a textfield and a Button and I want that they take up all the space possible in this HBox.
vboxRight = new VBox(); //This is the right VBox
vboxRight.setSpacing(10);
//This HBox represents the first "Line"
hboxLine = new HBox();
hboxLine.setSpacing(10);
hboxLine.setMinHeight(30);
//Textbox
txtField = new TextField();
txtField.setMinHeight(30);
//Button
btn = new Button("Search");
btn.setMinHeight(30);
btn.setOnAction(this);
hboxLine.getChildren().addAll(txtField, btn);
vboxRight.getChildren().addAll(hboxLine);
Is there any way to accomplish this? maybe with css?
Using HBox.setHgrow()
should solve your problem.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.Priority;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

hboxLine.setSpacing(10);

HBox.setHgrow(txtField, Priority.ALWAYS);//Added this line
HBox.setHgrow(btn, Priority.ALWAYS);//Added this line
hboxLine.getChildren().addAll(txtField, btn);
vboxRight.getChildren().addAll(hboxLine);
Scene scene = new Scene(vboxRight, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
