In this situation you are left to painfully merge together Label and Hyperlink nodes, and hope everything works out. Essentially, the use case is when you have a block of text in which you want to embed hyperlinks (kind of like what I just craftily did right there). This is a control that I’ve always wanted but it has never seemed to have existed, so in a fit of frustration I quickly threw it together myself. The HiddenSidesPane, with a node at the bottom that has animated into view. A hidden node / side can also be pinned, and it will remain visible as long as it stays pinned. The node will disappear again as soon as the mouse cursor exits it. The hidden node will appear (at its preferred width or height) with a short slide-in animation. The hidden nodes can be made visible by moving the mouse cursor to the edges of the pane. Great for showing images!Ī pane used to display a full-size content node and four initially hidden nodes on the four sides. GridView is a fast, virtualised grid container similar to ListView, except that there can be multiple cells on each row. This feature was inspired by Jens Deters’ FontAwesomeFX work, and we look forward to future collaboration with him both inside and outside of ControlsFX. For example, the new API can have its graphic set from a font pack in the following manner: Text”, image=”font>FontAwesome:STAR”). This support is not only in the form of API to render glyphs as graphics in Buttons, etc – it is also baked into our other API. We now support font packs (such as the excellent Font Awesome and IcoMoon). Here’s two screenshots:ĬSS decorations showing how validation failed.Īll dialogs features are listed on a separate page, but here’s a screenshot in case you’re curious: However, to be fair, the decoration framework was primarily developed to be the visual feedback mechanism for a validation framework, and we have one of those in ControlsFX 8.0.6 too! The validation framework is designed to be lightweight, but will grow over time as developers suggest desired functionality (we are definitely open to suggestions!). The decoration framework makes this kind of action trivial. For example, you may want to show graphics in the corner of your nodes, or add a styleclass in certain circumstances. In fact, this application is now standalone so that third party projects can make use of it in their own projects! Here’s what it looks like (click for full sized image):ĬontrolsFX 8.0.6 introduced a brand new decoration framework to allow developers to apply decorations to nodes on screen. To help people investigate the ControlsFX controls, the ControlsFX sample application has seen some further polish, integrating a WebView to make browsing the JavaDocs easier. Node wrappedButton = Borders.wrap(button)ĬheckComboBox, CheckListView, and CheckTreeView Here’s a some code, and then a screenshot of what that code results in: The Borders API is a simple (and still relatively exploratory) API that allows you to easily wrap panes or nodes with a border, in a similar fashion to the Swing BorderFactory API. ActionTextBehavior to more easily specify what text is shown in UI controls when built from an action.Support for ActionTraits to more cleanly specify the functionality of actions when used in dialogs.An ActionProxy annotation (to create actions directly by annotating methods) which can be discovered at runtime using the ActionMap class.In recent releases, we’ve built on to the Actions API to include functionality such as: We’ve also developed convenience API to convert Actions into the common UI controls (see the ActionUtils class for these methods). This makes it really easy to reuse the same Action in multiple places in your UI. It essentially abstracts away the notion of how a control is represented, instead focusing on the properties of the control (e.g. The Actions API is used by both the dialogs API and the ButtonBar API. CheckComboBox / CheckListView / CheckTreeView.Please click on the feature for more details and a link to the relevant javadoc pages! Note that some links go to a new page, whilst the simpler controls are shown on this page. As always, the best place to learn about all the features of ControlsFX is in the JavaDocs – these have been the subject of way too much attention and they contain a wealth of information in them. What follows is a list of some of the features included in ControlsFX (although there are far more features than just what is shown below!). e links from ], so they need to be the same width.ControlsFX is a library of UI controls and useful API for JavaFX 8.0 and beyond.* */ /* Main page fixes */ # interwiki-completelist /* In navboxes, the show/hide button balances the v
