I have set the max/min width/height here
But it didn't seem to work,I still can change the size of my window when I preview it
The values you're setting are (probably) for the root Node
. This won't prevent the Scene
or Stage
from growing or shrinking beyond the specified values. In fact, depending on the root Node
, setting these values won't even stop said Node
from growing or shrinking.
From Javadoc of Scene
:
The application must specify the root Node for the scene graph by setting the root property. If a Group is used as the root, the contents of the scene graph will be clipped by the scene's width and height and changes to the scene's size (if user resizes the stage) will not alter the layout of the scene graph. If a resizable node (layout Region or Control) is set as the root, then the root's size will track the scene's size, causing the contents to be relayed out as necessary.
If you want to constrain the size of a Stage
you need to do it in code by setting the appropriate properties of the Stage
: minWidth
, minHeight
, maxWidth
, and maxHeight
. Since you are setting minWidth = maxWidth
and minHeight = maxHeight
it would be better to use Stage.setResizable(false)
(as mentioned in Bernhard's answer). This option also prevents the Stage
from being maximized which setting the min/max size properties does not do. Though on my machine the properties do stop the Stage
from growing when maximized but it causes the Stage
to jump to the top-left corner.
Since you don't have access to the preview Stage
used by Scene Builder (as far as I know) I don't think you can constrain the size of the preview. One thing you may be able to deal with, however, is the fact the preview Stage
opens to its previous size when closed. I'm not sure why this is default/unchangeable behavior but I'm guessing it's caused by using the same Stage
each time. To resize the Stage
to the preferred size you can go to:
Preview -> Preview Size -> Preferred Size (Width x Height)
This requires the preview to be showing otherwise the menu item is disabled.
