Q: JavaFX8 resize gridpane columns dynamically

Question

I have a gridpane with 2 rows and 2 cols. The user should be able to change the column width on the UI dynamically (best with the mouse on the divider). But I haven't found a way to do that.

Can this be done using a gridpane or would I have to use a splitpane as in Resizeable Gridpane or other container with e.g. nested vboxes in each pane?

Thanks in advance, Thomas

Answer 1

I think for just a two by two grid the easiest solution would be to use three nested Split panes. A major vertical one which is then again subdivided by two minor horizontal ones (or vize versa). You just have to be carefull to synchronize the two minor ones so that they move in parallel.
