Is there something like a GroupBox or TitledBorder available on JavaFX 2?
Thanks for any hint :-)
No such standard control, but it it is easy to create your own. Here is a sample implementation:
/** Places content in a bordered pane with a title. */
class BorderedTitledPane extends StackPane {
BorderedTitledPane(String titleString, Node content) {
Label title = new Label(" " + titleString + " ");
title.getStyleClass().add("bordered-titled-title");
StackPane.setAlignment(title, Pos.TOP_CENTER);
StackPane contentPane = new StackPane();
content.getStyleClass().add("bordered-titled-content");
contentPane.getChildren().add(content);
getStyleClass().add("bordered-titled-border");
getChildren().addAll(title, contentPane);
}
}
And the accompanying css for it:
.label {
-fx-font: 28px Vivaldi;
}
.bordered-titled-title {
-fx-background-color: white;
-fx-translate-y: -16;
}
.bordered-titled-border {
-fx-content-display: top;
-fx-border-insets: 20 15 15 15;
-fx-background-color: white;
-fx-border-color: black;
-fx-border-width: 2;
}
.bordered-titled-content {
-fx-padding: 26 10 10 10;
}
The code is from a example I created in response to an Oracle JavaFX forum thread post "Equivalent to BorderFactory.createTitledBorder".
The output of the example program is as shown below.
