Javafx add text to a progress bar inside a table

I've been working with javafx tables and managed to add a Table Column with progress bars using progressBarColumn.setCellFactory(ProgressBarTableCell.forTableColumn());, it uses a dummy Person class to get its data not javafx.concurrent.Task.

All works well but i was wondering if you could also add text to the progress bars in the table, sort of like swings JProgressBar setString(String string).

I'm rather noobish with javafx so i don't know much about it.

Solution

  • You cannot do it using ProgressBarTableCell. You need to use a custom Control for it.

    You can use the custom control, ProgressIndicatorBar, created by JewelSea and add it to your progressBarColumn.

    It adds it to a TreeTableView, but you can apply the same logic for TableView as well.
