JavaFX/FXML: ImageView and labels inside BorderPane not displayed


My problem is that in the following construct, the bold marked images and labels inside a BorderPane inside a GridPane inside a ... aren't displayed. I placed the images and labels inside another BorderPane so each row of the GridPane has more styling options. When only some of the labes are inside a BorderPane, then all labels (both those by themselves and those inside a BorderPane) are displayed but now that all are inside their individual BorderPanes, none are displayed. Setting prefHeight for the BorderPanes didn't make a difference. Any ideas?

Edit: marking something bold doesn't seem to work in a code field. I'm talking about everything on GridPane.rowIndex="0".

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • The problem was that I placed the labels directly inside the border pane without "" tags to specify their alignment.

    Wrong:

    <BorderPane GridPane.rowIndex="0" GridPane.columnIndex="1">
        <Label text="Text">
            <font>
                <Font name="Arial" size="13"></Font>
            </font>
        </Label>
    </BorderPane>
    

    Right:

    <BorderPane GridPane.rowIndex="0" GridPane.columnIndex="1">
        <left>
            <Label text="Text">
                <font>
                    <Font name="Arial" size="13"></Font>
                </font>
            </Label>
        </left>
    </BorderPane>
    ```
