1-8. Adding Components to a Layout
Problem
You want to create a simple form application by adding UI components to a layout similar to a grid-like display.
Solution
Use JavaFX’s javafx.scene.layout.GridPane class. This source code implements a simple UI form containing a first and last name field controls using the grid pane layout node (javafx.scene.layout.GridPane):
GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
gridpane.setPadding(new Insets(5));
gridpane.setHgap(5);
gridpane.setVgap(5);
Label fNameLbl = new Label("First Name");
TextField fNameFld = new TextField();
Label lNameLbl = new Label("First Name");
TextField lNameFld = new TextField(); Button saveButt = new Button("Save"); ...Get JavaFX 2.0: Introduction by Example now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
