I want to make a JFXpopup at the center of the screen with a dynamic width & height. This is what I currently have:
This is the application's first look. To open the popup I have to click an item in the contextmenu:
and after that you get to see the popup:
The popup is centered on the x axis, but apparently not on the y axis. Also when I resize my stage and reopen the popup the size doesn't change.
Now for some code:
contextMenu.getNewLeaf().setOnAction(event -> {
popup.setPopupContent(createRegistrationFormPane());
popup.setAutoFix(true);
double width = globals.getPrimaryStage().getWidth() / 1.5;
double height = globals.getPrimaryStage().getHeight() / 1.5;
System.out.println("stage - width: " + globals.getPrimaryStage().getWidth() + "height: " + globals.getPrimaryStage().getHeight());
System.out.println("width: " + width + " height: " + height);
popup.getPopupContent().setPrefWidth(width);
popup.getPopupContent().setPrefHeight(height);
double anchorX = (globals.getPrimaryStage().getWidth() - width) / 2;
double anchorY = (globals.getPrimaryStage().getHeight() - height) / 2;
popup.show(rootPane, JFXPopup.PopupVPosition.TOP, JFXPopup.PopupHPosition.LEFT, anchorX, anchorY);
item.getChildren().add(new TreeItem<>(new Twitter()));
contextMenu.freeActionListeners();
});
globals.getPrimaryStage()
returns the stage.
rootPane
is the well ... the first Pane.
Here are some values from the system.out.println()
:
stage - width: 800.0height: 550.4000244140625
width: 533.3333333333334 height: 366.933349609375
stage - width: 1339.199951171875height: 684.7999877929688
width: 892.7999674479166 height: 456.5333251953125
As you can see these values do change, but the size of the popup doesn't change.
Any help would be appreciated.
First of all I notices that getting the stage height includes the topbar ( - [] X ). That is why the popup doesn't vertically center properly. To fix that I added .getScene()
and then .getHeight()
.
Secondly I now added the changed it to the following: I made it so that the popup is created when the button is clicked. So instead of making 1 jfxpopup I just override the pointer to the popup and let the garbage collector do the rest.
// Option add new leaf
CONTEXT_MENU.getNewLeaf().setOnAction(event -> {
popup = new JFXPopup();
try {
popup.setPopupContent((Region) UTIL
.getPopupView(UTIL.getView("view/application/popup/FormTest.fxml"), popup));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
popup.setAutoFix(true);
// Width & height of the popup
double width = GLOBALS.getPrimaryStage().getScene().getWidth() / 1.5;
double height = GLOBALS.getPrimaryStage().getScene().getHeight() / 1.5;
popup.getPopupContent().setPrefWidth(width);
popup.getPopupContent().setPrefHeight(height);
// X & y axis of the popup
double anchorX = (GLOBALS.getPrimaryStage().getScene().getWidth() - width) / 2;
double anchorY = (GLOBALS.getPrimaryStage().getScene().getHeight() - height) / 2;
popup.show(ROOT_PANE, JFXPopup.PopupVPosition.TOP, JFXPopup.PopupHPosition.LEFT, anchorX,
anchorY);
item.getChildren().add(new TreeItem<>(new Twitter()));
CONTEXT_MENU.freeActionListeners();
});
1 quistion : When I you say popup.hide()
does that remove the instance of that popup? Right now I just let the garbage collector do its thing. Just curious.
