How to align the position of a node in a pane of the grid using CSS?

Hello

I have an interface defined in FXML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

I want to align the labels to right using CSS:
.form *.label {
  -fx-alignment: right;
  -fx-font-weight: bold;
  -fx-hpos: right;
  -fx-text-alignment: right;
  -fx-text-wrap: true;
}
However I have not found any way to align the labels in the GridPane using CSS, or - fx-alignment: right, - fx-node-hpos: right. -fx-hpos: right. -fx-text-alignment: seem to work well...


The only way to make it work is to define the attribute of each label Grid.halignment:
                <Label text="HTML Mail" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.columnSpan="2" GridPane.halignment="right" GridPane.rowIndex="7" />
But what happens if I want to change that at a later stage-> I need to change this attribute for each node.


How can align the labels to right using CSS only?

Currently CSS in JFX cannot really be used for layout page (or calibration). This is one of those grey areas between what is style (which should be in the CSS) and what is layout (which should be in the FXML). I think I remember Richard mentioning once in a forum or an article that he did not want to add alignment stuff to the CSS at a certain point, but don't quote me on that. You might have a search through Kenai to see if there is a feature request for it and if not add one.

Perhaps you could it with fake labels stretch to fill the available space in the GridPane. For this, you need to disable the restriction of maximum size (setMaxWidth and setMaxHeight to Integer.MAX_VALUE) and ensure your forced GridPane are such that the label will fill the cell. Once you have a stretched label alignment will come into play as the text is aligned relative to the area of the label (as opposed to a manager that aligns the entire label compared to its parent). I think that put a border on the label when debugging to work on what's going on.

Another less confined but more flexible alternative might be to use variables in your FXML files. You can do this in a number of ways. We must create a bean that has all the variables of your on it with accessors get and then you can move it to your charger FXML namespace and then reference it by using things like ${myConstants.gridAlignment}. Another is to create static methods on a class that a node, these can then be called from the FXML using a notation similar to GridPane.alignment. This second approach only works for things where you want to work directly on the node, but for your scenario which should be ok I think. And then there is always the option to activate a script language in your FXML, allowing you to perform more nothing.

Hope that helps,
zonski

  • How to align the Hcenter fields in VFM?

    How to align the Hcenter fields in VFM? its giving problem

    solution on mine! years of posting for reference...

    what I did earlier.

    I wanted to have a manager of fixed size (maximum size) and put fields here, during an aliging then using stylebit it did not work. I used sublayout and fixed to what extent a perticular dimension

    resovled doing problem.

    It is not sufficient (or necessary) to if you want to use sublayout to have a fixed size, if you use the alignment, bcz setting hardcodedly properties, the other model overridden, so u must override the methods 'getPrefferedWidth & height', not the two held all the time, but according to the needs, if you want to:-alignment, you can try only method "width" and comparable to V-alignment. I included these methods and found that half of my UI related issues would have resolved more easily, if I tried this previously.

  • How to align the edges of the images

    I have an image that resembles a parallelogram because when the inage has been taken there does not match the grid. How to align the edges?

    Appreciate the help.

    Different ways to do it... but without seeing an image of what you are doing then I would suggest that.

    First SNAP TO GRID.

    View > Snap To > grid

    Then

    Edit > Transform > distort

    This will allow you to move the corners and stretch the image.

    But if you share a screenshot or image we can help you in more detail.

  • Stupid question: is there a way to align the grids online Adobe?

    While I'm able to line up on the bumper of the drawn objects, this behavior does not appear to be translated to the grids. Is there an additional parameter which must be running in order to align the grids on the canvas? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question and thanks in advance.

    Hi there crwinchester!

    Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry for the very late reply. While you can't snap to grid itself, you can use the slide or the sovereign built into Illustrator Draw drawing and vector design app | Download Adobe Illustrator to draw to align specific or arbitrary angles angles.

    Let me know if that helps!
