How add text in pane border in JavaFX like this:

Solution

  • This is similar to a node they have in c#. I don't know if JavaFX has this type of node. In SceneBuilder I added a border around a Pane and a Label on top of the border. I then set the root AnchorPane's background to white and the Label's background to white. I did not try this with Group but I am guessing it might be a good idea.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    
    <?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
    <?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
    <?import javafx.scene.layout.Pane?>
    
    
    <AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" style="-fx-background-color: White;" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.111" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
       <children>
          <Pane fx:id="pane" layoutX="200.0" layoutY="100.0" prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="200.0" style="-fx-border-color: BLACK;" />
          <Label layoutX="218.0" layoutY="92.0" style="-fx-background-color: WHITE;" text="Label" />
       </children>
    </AnchorPane>
