I fail to center a Button in a VBox in Java code!
I used Scene Builder to create a SplitPane with the left AnchorPane having a Button centered in a VBox.
I want to recreate this, a Button in a VBox, in the right AnchorPane but not in FXML, in Java Code. But the right Button does not center, although I use vb.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
:
My FXML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.SplitPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="400.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.141" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="testimageview.MainViewController">
<children>
<SplitPane dividerPositions="0.5" prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="400.0" AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
<items>
<AnchorPane fx:id="leftAnchorPane" minHeight="0.0" minWidth="0.0" prefHeight="160.0" prefWidth="100.0">
<children>
<VBox alignment="CENTER" prefHeight="198.0" prefWidth="171.0" AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
<children>
<Button mnemonicParsing="false" text="FXML" />
</children>
</VBox>
</children>
</AnchorPane>
<AnchorPane fx:id="rightAnchorPane" minHeight="0.0" minWidth="0.0" prefHeight="160.0" prefWidth="100.0" />
</items>
</SplitPane>
</children>
</AnchorPane>
And my Java Controller class code:
package testimageview;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Priority;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
public class MainViewController implements Initializable {
@FXML
private AnchorPane leftAnchorPane;
@FXML
private AnchorPane rightAnchorPane;
public MainViewController() {
}
@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
VBox.setVgrow(leftAnchorPane, Priority.ALWAYS);
VBox vb = new VBox();
Button rightButton = new Button();
rightButton.setText("Java");
vb.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
vb.getChildren().addAll(rightButton);
rightAnchorPane.getChildren().add(vb);
}
}
