New to JavaFX. Confused. How can I align my objects?

I've been playing with JavaFX and I really like it. But I can't seem to get my content where I want. Even if I place a vbox on the CENTER and a label on TOP, they are always in the Center and almost touch each other.

I want to have:

My title


Sublabel
Button1
Button2
Button3


BottomLabel

But it appears as:
My title
Sublabel
Button1
Button2
Button3
BottomLabel

If I have settranslateX my vbox or label superior, he moves from the label, but moves also everything else with it.

How can I to align properly?

Here's my pseudo code:
PreMenu() private node
{

Group group2 = new Group();

Component BorderPane = new BorderPane();

Text label = new text ("Please choose an Option");
label.setFont (make ("Kozuka Gothic Pro", 30));
label.setEffect (addEffect (Color.web ("#FF6600"),.85, 20));
label.setTextAlignment (TextAlignment.CENTER);
label.setTranslateY(-300); This moves my label, but it also moves the vbox below down.

VBox, vbox = new VBox();

Option1 button = new Button ("Firstbutton");
Option2 button = new Button ("Secondbutton");
Option3 button = new Button ("HelpButton");
option1.setEffect (addEffect (Color.Web ("#FF6600"),.8, 10));
option2.setEffect (addEffect (Color.Web ("#FF6600"),.8, 10));
Option3.setEffect (addEffect (Color.Web ("#FF6600"),.8, 10));
option1.setTextAlignment (TextAlignment.Center);
option1.setMinWidth (400);
option2.setTextAlignment (TextAlignment.Center);
option2.setMinWidth (400);
Option3.setTextAlignment (TextAlignment.Center);
Option3.setMinWidth (400);

vbox.setSpacing (20);
vbox.getChildren () .add (option1);
vbox.getChildren () .add (option2);
vbox.getChildren () .add (option3);

pane.setTop (label);
pane.setCenter (vbox);

Group2.GetChildren (). Add (NCA);

return group2;
}

Do not wrap a group around your content, group is used for special cases and is not a general container to keep your knots together. In addition, you must set the correct alignment on the VBox. Here's a working example:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ProgressIndicator;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.scene.text.TextAlignment;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class AlignmentTest extends Application {

  /**
   * @param args the command line arguments
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
  }

  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    BorderPane pane = new BorderPane();
    pane.setStyle("-fx-background-color: red");
    Text label = new Text("Please Choose a Option");
    label.setFont(Font.font("Arial", 30));
    label.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
    VBox vbox = new VBox();
    vbox.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
    Button option1 = new Button("Firstbutton");
    Button option2 = new Button("Secondbutton");
    Button option3 = new Button("HelpButton");
    option1.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
    option1.setMinWidth(400);
    option2.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
    option2.setMinWidth(400);
    option3.setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
    option3.setMinWidth(400);
    vbox.setSpacing(20);
    vbox.getChildren().add(option1);
    vbox.getChildren().add(option2);
    vbox.getChildren().add(option3);
    pane.setTop(label);
    pane.setCenter(vbox);

    Scene scene = new Scene(pane, 600, 500);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
  }
}

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

  • 6.0 interface is confusing; How can I make it look like the previous one?

    How can I cause the tabs and buttons to be where they were on older versions? I tried to get used to the 'new' interface, but I spend so much time looking for things that I used to know exactly where they are. How can I get the old version back, or how I can cause it to put things where they are supposed to be?
    The feet must be on the bottom, just above the display of the web page. And what happened to the little arrow on the back button that would allow me to return to the previous page? And why the hell did you put the 'Cancel' button where it is? No sense to me.
    Gimme back the old interface.
    Or if I should abandon Firefox?
    Jan Smith

    The arrow to open the history tab of the previous buttons and following was removed in Firefox 4 and later versions.

    Use one of the following methods to open the tab history list:

    • Right-click on the back or next button
    • Press and hold the left button of the mouse on the active back or forward button until the list opens

    I have an Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830 t-68U118.  The original hard drive died, so I replaced it with a new hard drive.  I loaded Windows 7 x 64 and loaded the chipset drivers and the network drivers.  The laptop is always my bluetooth equipment (even if I loaded the drivers Atheros).  Does anyone else have this problem?  How can I get the bluetooth to work?

    It would probably depend on the status of the warranty of the system.

    Hello SNQQPYSALS,

    You have a few choices:

    1. contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery DVDs.

    They do it for a small fee.

    2 borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend, etc. (NOT a recovery DVDs) Microsoft DVD will contain all versions of Vista.

    This is your product key that determines which version is installed.

    Just make sure you take the correct 32-bit or 64-bit DVD in Vista 'bit' come on 2 different DVDs.

    3. IF your hard drive is still working, make a game of the recovery before it completely Partition recovery DVDs fails.

    The manufacturer will tell you how.
