Button with image (styling with FXML/CSS) - javafx

I have problem and don't have any idea how to solve it.
I have button and I need to add image next to text on right. I did it but after resizing this button, image is always next to text. There is any solution to get text toleft and image to right side of button? (like on screenshot from scenebuilder)
FXML code:
<Button fx:id="btn1" alignment="BASELINE_LEFT" contentDisplay="RIGHT" maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="1.7976931348623157E308" mnemonicParsing="false" prefHeight="50.0" text="Text">
<graphic>
<ImageView fitHeight="24.0" fitWidth="24.0" pickOnBounds="true" preserveRatio="true">
<image>
<Image url="/images/User/user.png" preserveRatio="false" smooth="false" />
</image>
</ImageView>
</graphic>
</Button>

Background
In general, I'd advise, just using the ContentDisplay on buttons and having the button manage the layout of items inside the button on your behalf. But that approach will not work for your particular use-case.
Sample Solution
Put both the text and the image in the graphic inside your own layout manager (for example an HBox). This way you have the flexibility to apply a custom layout to the button, allowing you to situate the text and image exactly as you wish.
In the sample solution I add a Pane between the text and the graphic with a hgrow constraint of always, so that the pane will act as an expandable invisible spacer between the the text and the image, pushing them as far apart from each other horizontally as is possible (within the constraints of the overall button size).

How to bind Pane with another Pane in JavaFX

I'm finding the way that how to bind the size of a pane with the outer pane.
I could bind the size ofRectangle with Pane,
But couldn't bind an inner pane (Red dotted rectangle) with outer pane (Blue dotted rectangle)
Why I couldn't do it
It seems to be that Pane does not provide bind method for widthProperty
Objects
At least, bind width with TextArea of inner Pane with outer Pane
I'll make many new tabs, therefore, I prefer to bind inner Pane with outer Pane rather than bind TextArea directly to outer Pane.
Situation
Blue and Orange rectangles are bound well with pane dropPane
But Blue border pane's width should be the same size as a red border pane!

I've found that almost the same question, but no answer was there.
You do not need a binding to achieve this. The problem is the fact that you set the constraints for maxHeight/maxWidth to USE_PREF_SIZE, i.e. to a fixed value that can very well be reached when resizing the window. Remove those constraints to allow the AnchorPane to grow as necessary:
Tab.fxml
<AnchorPane minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="480.0" prefWidth="1000.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/10.0.1" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
...
</AnchorPane>
Furthermore I recommend avoiding the use of AnchorPanes, if you can avoid it. It's hard to achieve responsive layouts with this kind of layout. VBox and HBox would do much better jobs in this case.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.CheckBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.ComboBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.RadioButton?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TextArea?>

<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.Region?>
<VBox prefHeight="480.0"
prefWidth="1000.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/10.0.1"
xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
<padding>
<Insets topRightBottomLeft="4" />
</padding>
<children>
<HBox fx:id="LabelBox" prefHeight="64.0" prefWidth="978.0" />

3 responsive box designs using javafx

How do I create tree responsive box designs for javafx using scenebuilder. It should have 3 boxes that adjust to the size of the screen. Something similar to the boxes below. Any help>
I do not use scenebuilder, I prefer create the FXML file by my own especially because it is not responsive.
The purpose when defining the UI of your application is to choose the good layouts. Some are more responsive than other depending on what you want to achieve.
I saw your first first post and I do not use JFoenix, then here is a very light/simple example with "regular" component that could help you to make your application responsive.

<VBox GridPane.rowIndex="0" GridPane.columnIndex="2" style="-fx-background-color:grey; -fx-opacity:0.7;"/>
<VBox GridPane.rowIndex="0" GridPane.columnIndex="4" style="-fx-background-color:grey; -fx-opacity:0.7;"/>

<Button text="CLEAN" style="-fx-background-color:DODGERBLUE;-fx-border-radius:10;-fx-background-radius:10"/>
</HBox>
</children>
<columnConstraints>
<ColumnConstraints percentWidth="30.0" />
<!-- Space -->

This lead to something like that :

JavaFX ScrollPane setFitToHeight

since the ListView seems to have some visual bugs when it comes to storing items with a different cell size (resulted in duplicated entries #displaying), I decided to try out a ScrollPane. I replaced the ListView with a ScrollPane with a inner VBox (there are custom HBox stored). So long it's working fine, I dont get any visual bugs any more.
Now I just have a simple problem: As soon the ScrollPane is "full" and starts scrolling, it seems to adjust the size of my "bigger" items.
Here a screen how it looks before the resizing:

The official documentation states, the ScrollPane fitToHeight Property is default on false, which should prevent resizing my HBox's. I want the HBox to stay at it's original height.
Please help me.

JavaFX ScrollPane scrollbar is disabled

I have built a layout in SceneBuilder which has a ScrollPane (inside of a StackPane) containing a StackPane containing a Group (aligned to center-left) containing an ImageView. For some reason, whether I preview within SceneBuilder with Ctrl+P or run in my program, the horizontal scrollbar is disabled. The scrollbar does show that there is more to the right to be scrolled to, but I cannot scroll to it. It looks like this:
And here is the FXML:

I've tried a horizontal scroll policy of both AS_NEEDED and ALWAYS.
You have numerous problems (most important is that the HBox with your controls covers your ScrollPane, intercepting that would otherwise go the ScrollPane):
Set preserveRatio="false" instead of preserveRatio="true" for your ImageView, otherwise the image may not grow to the fitWidth you provide (because it may hit the fitHeight limit first and not grow the width anymore).
Set maxHeight="-Infinity" on your HBox, (this will ensure that the maximum height of the HBox does not grow above the preferred height for the HBox, otherwise the HBox will intercept the mouse clicks intended for your ScrollPane). Either this, or set pickOnBounds="false" for the HBox, so that the HBox does not intercept mouse clicks for the ScrollPane even though it overlays the ScrollPane.
Note: to debug layout sizes, sometimes it is useful to temporarily add a background or border to a region to see it's true size, for example style="-fx-background-color: red;".
Also rather than placing your controls and image in a StackPane, which overlays content, maybe you might want to use a VBox instead, which instead lays things out vertically rather than on top of each other.

How to set javafx button Icon using shape?

I want to set my button icon using some geometry shapes, such as circle, square, etc.
I also want to set it in FXML something like:
<Button .....>
<graphics>
<group>
<shape>
......
</shape>
</group>
</graphics>
</Button>
Is it possible? I do know how to load image icon into ImageView then setGraphic.
TIA
The graphic in a button can be any Node. A Shape such as a Circle is a Node.
So just set the button graphic to the shape. You can even put many shapes in a container such as a VBox or StackPane and set the button's graphic to the container so the graphic consists of many shapes.
Here is a sample FXML file you can copy and paste and load up in SceneBuilder 2.
