How to grow progress bar horizontally in javafx?

Question

I have an application where I have a table and ProgressBar. I want to expand my progress bar when user resizes the window. For TextBox in JavaFX I can able to set HBox priority and achieve it as intended. But for ProgressBar it is not working.

Can any one tell me where I am doing wrong ?

HBox root = new HBox();           
final ProgressBar browser = new ProgressBar();

//  final WebEngine webEngine = browser.getEngine();
// browser.setText("JJJ");
HBox.setHgrow(browser, Priority.ALWAYS);         
//  webEngine.loadContent("<b>asdf</b>");              
root.getChildren().add(browser);
scene.setRoot(root);

Answer 1

Bind the widths of progress bar and Vbox:

VBox root = new VBox();
root.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_CENTER);
final ProgressBar browser = new ProgressBar();
browser.prefWidthProperty().bind(root.widthProperty().subtract(20));  //  -20 is for 
   // padding from right and left, since we aligned it to TOP_CENTER.
root.getChildren().add(browser);
