Custom layout of JavaFX nodes

I'm developing an application for which it is necessary to nodes available in addition to the other (or on top of the other etc..). However, this provision is only an IPO and the user is able to move these nodes arbitrarily. How does correctly in JavaFX? I'll explain my problem with a simplified example:

Guess I have 2 rectangles and want to place rect2 right of rect1.

// create first rectangle at position x= 5, y=5 
rect1
= rectangle(5,5);
// create second rectangle to the right of rect1
rect2
= rectangle(5+rect1.width(), 5);

In this scenario JavaFX has not yet determined the width of rect1, and there will be zero. Intuitively, I would make a call that allows JavaFX rect1 and thus determine its width and then add rect2. See the following example:

// create first rectangle at position x= 5, y=5 
rect1
= rectangle(5,5);
// let JavaFX draw rect1 (width will be calculated and set)
draw
();
// create second rectangle to the right of rect1
rect2
= rectangle(5+rect1.width(), 5);

Unfortunately, I have not found a method that does what I want. My current solution appealed to the Platform.runLater (), but this does not work properly all the time. If my interpretation of the links is correct, the links also are not appropriate for this problem. I want only to provision initially nodes, so I have to remove the link after the initial layout (or do rect2 would move if rect1 is moved).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Custom presentations are generally made subclassing region, the substitution of layoutChildren() and calculations of page layout based on the prefWidth and the prefHeight of the child nodes.  Best place to understand this for example is by examining the source code of JavaFX , as I've never seen a tutorial on the subject.

A round, you can use that may or may not be suitable for you, is to use the layout panels for the default page layout, then use translate the properties to allow the user to the default layout components, the translation in this way you can avoid the creation of a custom layout component.

Another way to do is to use a base pane as the layout container that is not automatic on her children, add children to the pane in the constructor of the component.  Layout() and applyCss() use children to measure children if necessary in order to determine the appropriate size.

  • Several custom layout Page?

    So it's a little hard to imagine a thread title that sets out succinctly what I have wrong here.

    Basically, I'm wondering if it is possible to display a * SINGLE * page of a * MULTIPLE * custom layout in the print module. It is quite possible, I'm just retarded and I'm missing something simple, but when I add a page to the page layout, he appears in what is basically a grid view, with all the pages visible at a time. Addition of pages just makes each smaller page. Of course, it is not an ideal situation to make layouts.

    So, am I missing sort of totally obvious to solve this problem? The print module makes page views when making contact sheets and so on, so I know it is theoretically possible. Or is it not feasible in custom mode?

    There is a zoom button of the page on the top left preview pane

  • Custom layout manager: question sublayout

    Trying to implement a border layout manager (see the code), I'm having problem with the sublayout method. When the method is called, the value for the parameter "width" is 240, but the value for the parameter "size" is "1073741823' that really confuses me. I expect the value of "260" that I have tested on a simulator of Pearl.

    Can someone shed some light on this subject?

    JDE: 4.3

    Simulator: 8130

    Here is the code:

    class BorderLayoutManager extends Manager {
    
        public BorderLayoutManager() {
            super(Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL);
        }
    
        //overwrite the nextFocus method for custom navigation
        protected int nextFocus(int direction, boolean alt)
        {
            // Find the next field to be focused
        }
    
        protected void sublayout(int width, int height) {
        // calculate the position of each field, then call
        // setPositionChild() and layoutChild() for each field
        }   
    
       public int getPreferredWidth(){
        // calculate preferred width
       }
    
       public int getPreferredHeight(){
        // calculate preferred height
       }
    }
    
    public class MyScreen extends MainScreen{
        public MyScreen(){
            super();
            BorderLayoutManager manager = new BorderLayoutManager();
            manager.add(BorderLayoutManager.NORTH, new LabelField("North"));
            manager.add(BorderLayoutManager.SOUTH, new LabelField("South"));
            manager.add(BorderLayoutManager.WEST, new ButtonField("WEST"));
            manager.add(BorderLayoutManager.EAST, new ButtonField("EAST"));
            manager.add(BorderLayoutManager.CENTER, new RichTextField("center"));
            add(manager);

    }
    

    If your custom Manager Manager has vertical scrolling enabled, then the height will show that this large number.

  • How to move a logo on the right side of the header and resize the area of the image - sensitive custom Layout HTML 5 - 11 of RoboHelp

    I created a page HTML 5 custom based on the layout Theme1_Standard layout.  Our logo is rectangular and does not fit in the default image area.  I want the logo to the right of the header.  I don't see how to do this in the customization of the Layout dialog box.  Is there a way to do this in the HTML somehow?  Moreover, the logo looks great in the office and the table overview of the customization of the Layout dialog box.  It is the right size and the header title fits right so that there is enough space for the rectangular logo. However, in the preview of the phone, the logo is tiny.  And when I generate the layout of reactive source HTML5 with the new theme, the logo is tiny in the preview of Chrome, even for the office.

    Thank you.

    Gina

    You can change this behavior in the main.css file. It's a little more work that you know well;

    Open the file with a text editor and search for "table.headertable td.logo". You can find parameters for the width of the logo, something like:

    Width: 4;

    Simply make it wider to adjust the image. Note that you need to do this several times as several devices have different widths for the logo.

    Hello Rahul,

    Depending on your needs, we can offer you a page layout. Layout of three columns can be achieved using messageComponentLayout using 3 columns (and the lines according to the number of fields to display). Set in the properties of the region.

  • Custom layout manager

    Hi all

    I can't create a custom presentation Manager. I extended the class Manager and set the getPreferredWidth() implement, the getPreferredHeight() and methods sublayout (int width, int height) but I have two LabelFields are not displayed.

    I would like to first of all fields of both label as shown in the image below, but I do not understand creation of custom models. I understand getPreferredWidth() and getPreferredHeight() sets the width and height of the Manager, but I'm confused with the method sublauout (int width, int height) and layoutChild and setPositionchild (field, int, int).

    I'd appreciate it if someone could point out tutorials, examples and notes for custom understanding models.

    Thank you

    Praveen Singh

    Hi arkadyz

    Thank you very much for the help.  I solved the problem I had, I tried to extend the class Manager and setPreferredWidth() to Display.getWidth () and setPreferredHeight() to return the height of the first field.  My problem is that I have added two LabelFields at my personal Manager and tried to keep them on the same line, which meant my int y variable has been created under the zero and my int variable x changed but these two variables x and is also used in setExtent(x,y); If I was getting setExtent (x, 0); which caused my labelfields does not show.

    protected void sublayout (int width, int height) {}
    int x = 0;
    int y = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i)< getfieldcount();="" i++)="">
    Field field = getField (i);
    layoutChild (field, width, height);
    setPositionChild (field, x, y);
    x += field.getWidth () + 90;
    y += 0;
    }
    setExtent (x, y + getField (0) .getHeight ());

  • Officejet HP 7110 custom layout

    I have the Officejet HP7110 - printer large format and need to print a page of non-standard size. How to customize suitable installation? The current subscription does not include the size I need. The page is 257mmx397mm, margin, 38mm, straight, 20mm of margin margin 25mm up and down 22mm from the left margin. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Zbigniew,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I see that you have an Officejet 7110 and are wanting to do a custom size to print with. If you will be able to do it or not depends entirely if you use Mac or Windows.

    The HP Windows software does not support custom formats, but it does on Mac (you can see the printer service if you wish). Certainly, I understand that this can be frustrating if you are a Windows user, but I hope that you can use a different size that is supported if this is the case

    I hope that it helps to have a great day!

  • Question of layout using unmanaged nodes

    I have a question of quite simple layout, but I can't understand any simple way to solve it. I need a container object that contains an label that should be centered in the parent container. I then need an another label which should be placed at the top left of the parent container. What I tried to do was to create a serving VBox of parent container with -fx-alignment: Center. When I add the first label, it looks great. Then I try to add my 2nd label, and I put his property managed to false in the hope that it would not participate in the VBoxto layout its children. But I do not see this second label.

    Using panoramic view, I can see that the 2nd Label is on the display list, and is size, even though I see that his layoutBounds is empty.

    Any ideas on how to achieve this type of layout?

    I think I've answered my own question to tweak it and experimentation. As a beginner, I have not yet mastered all the container classes. For this example, it seems that the use of AnchorPane is the way to go. Here's the code that does what I want:

    Component AnchorPane = new AnchorPane();

    lblValue = new Sun;

    lblValue.getStyleClass () .add ("boardCellValue");

    lblOp = new Sun;

    lblOp.getStyleClass () .add ("boardCellOp");

    pane.getChildren () .addAll (lblValue, lblOp);

    AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor (lblValue, 0d);

    AnchorPane.setRightAnchor (lblValue, 0d);

    AnchorPane.setTopAnchor (lblValue, 0d);

    AnchorPane.setBottomAnchor (lblValue, 0d);

    AnchorPane.setTopAnchor (lblOp, 5 d);

    AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor (lblOp, 5 d);

    where lblValue is the label I want centered in the container component, and lblOp is the one I want at the top left.

    The interesting thing about the boardCellValue style, it's that I need

    -fx-alignment: center;

    since now the lblValue has width that spans the entire width of the container component.

    If it works for me and is quite simple. There are easier ways?

  • custom layout and update the page elements

    Hello

    I'm working on an APEX application, I need a page to view issues and alternative options, such as only choose radio group or mutiple shoose by box. The user will then check the answers. After the answer questions, send the page to get the score.

    The presentation must be: separate regions by the kind of question. in each region, the question in the first line; the four options in the second line, the checkbox or a radio Fund; in the bottom of the page, there is a button "submit".

    The tables are designed as follows,
    create the table RULE_QA_SHEETS
    (
    SHEET_ID NUMBER of non-null,--ID for the answer of the question sheet
    Category NUMBER not null, - use a tmplate to build the leaf, for example, numbers of gender issue, easy or difficult
    PERSON_ID NUMBER not null,-the user who was answering questions
    DATE OF ANSWER_DATE,
    NOTE VARCHAR2 (4000 TANK)
    )

    create the table RULE_QA_SHEET_ITEMS
    (
    ITEM_ID NUMBER not null,--ID for the question in this form.
    SHEET_ID NUMBER not null,--master id of the table.
    QUESTION_ID NUMBER not null,--ID for the issue in the inventory.
    MEET VARCHAR2(30 CHAR) - the answer the user checked, will be compared to the inventory. Once the user to submit the page, this column will be updated.
    )

    I've not found a good report APEX model, and I can use dynamic content plsql to generate the layout but no idea how to upgrade the right answers.

    Everyone has the same experience, or give me a help, that would be great!

    Could you please give me an example of this? page 15, pls help to control dynamic pl/sql region that generates the page layout.

    See page 150 in your application. I started with a copy of your page 15 and brought some changes in regions of dynamic PL/SQL to produce more semantic HTML by using ordered lists and labels. Labels provide also bigger clickable/tangible goals by answering the questions.

    declare
    
      i number := 1;
    
    begin
    
      htp.p('
      '); for q in ( select q.qa_id , q.question , q.answer_a , q.answer_b , q.answer_c , q.answer_d from rule_qa q where q.question_type = 'S') loop htp.p('
    1. ' || q.question || '
        '); htp.p('
      1. ' || apex_item.radiogroup(i, 'A', null, p_item_id => 'q-' || i || '-a', p_item_label => q.answer_a) || ''); htp.p('
      2. ' || apex_item.radiogroup(i, 'B', null, p_item_id => 'q-' || i || '-b', p_item_label => q.answer_b) || ''); htp.p('
      3. ' || apex_item.radiogroup(i, 'C', null, p_item_id => 'q-' || i || '-c', p_item_label => q.answer_c) || ''); htp.p('
      4. ' || apex_item.radiogroup(i, 'D', null, p_item_id => 'q-' || i || '-d', p_item_label => q.answer_d) || ''); htp.p('
      '); i := i + 1; end loop; htp.p('
    '); end;

    Some CSS is required for formatting required and to get the labels actually appear:

    ol.questions>li {
      margin-bottom: 1em;
      font-weight: 600;
    }
    ol.answers {
      margin: 0.5em 2em;
      list-style: lower-alpha outside;
    }
      ol.answers>li {
        clear: left;
        margin: 0.5em 0;
        font-weight: 400;
      }
      ol.answers>li span {
        display: inline-block;
      }
      ol.answers>li label.hideMeButHearMe {
        position: static;
        top: auto;
      }
      ol.answers>li input {
        float: left;
        margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
        padding: 0;
        vertical-align: middle;
      }
    

    Finally, there is a simple process that records the answers in a collection of the APEX. Collections are frequently used apps Q & A and survey to store responses temporarily before their final transformation:

    declare
    
      answer varchar2(32767);
    
    begin
    
      /*
        Create or empty the APEX collection used to temporarily store the user
        responses.
      */
      apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('ANSWERS');
    
      for i in 1..50
      loop
        /*
          Dynamically capture the contents of each apex_application array...
        */
        execute immediate '
            begin
              :1 := apex_util.table_to_string(apex_application.g_f' || to_char(i, 'fm09') || ');
            end;'
          using out answer;
    
        wwv_flow.debug('apex_application.g_f' || to_char(i, 'fm09') || ' = ' || answer);
    
        /*
          ...and if there's a response then record it in the collection.
        */
        if answer is not null
        then
          apex_collection.add_member(
              p_collection_name => 'ANSWERS'
            , p_n001 => i
            , p_c001 => answer);
        end if;
    
      end loop;
    
    end;
    

    It appeals to a rather horrible dynamic assessment of the apex_application tables. As Howard points out, there is only 50 of these paintings, which can be limited if you plan to have more than 50 questions. A common way to avoid these two problems is to present only one question at a time (turn-off to back on the same page in a sort of Pseudo-Assistant until all questions are answered), so you only need to refer to a single table, known.

    Note, however, that I am not keen on this model of single table. You can consider using a more flexible and extensible model as in This example.

  • A layout custom reagent exportable HTML5 to HTML5 Multiscreen layouts?

    11 HR, I created a custom layout of Responsive HTML5. Now, however, I plan to change my project in HTML5 Multiscreen since marking content (using TCC) for output be does that for specific screen sizes is not supported in HTML5 sensitive layouts. Is there a way export my settings in custom HTML5 Multiscreen page layouts?

    Hello

    Sorry, but it's just not possible. You will need to edit carefully each of the Multiscreen patterns to accommodate changes in reactivity.

    I guess that it is some sort of 'catch' 22 of the situation. Reagents layouts are created because you intend to have the same identical content in all environments. Maybe a bit of reorganization based on breakpoints. The fact that you need a different content for different devices causes monkey wrench to be tossed into things!

    See you soon... Rick

  • Creating instances of the class customized for XML nodes

    Hi guys,.

    I'm trying to load an external XML document in my application and create an instance of a custom class for each node in the XML file based on the value of some of their elements. Instances created later will end by in a DataGrid by the way. The problem I have is there seems to be several ways to make small parts of it and I have no idea how do them all gel. Initially, I use HTTPService to load the XML file, but I've seen people just use a XML object. Then, after that, I put the XML loaded to an ArrayCollection collection initially, but others used XMLList or XMLListCollection. I have no idea of what is the best way to do it.

    Finally, when I created all of these instances by looping through XML and their creation how I'll make them bindable to the DataGrid? I guess I'll have to group together them somehow...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Create a class customized for your 'point' of dataGrid dataProvider objects
    * Use HttpService to get the XML code.
    * use an e4x expression for the child nodes of the xml in an XMLList: myXML.children () or myXML.myNodes;
    * use a for loop on the XMLList
    * inside of the loop, create a new instance of the custom class
    * Of the [i] myXMLList, obtain all necessary attribute values and assign them to the appropriate properties in the instance of the custom class.
    * always inside the loop, use myArrayCollection.addItem (mycustomClass) to add the element to the collection of the dataProvider ArrayCollection.
