GUI using Java FX in netbeans

JavaFX:-

Why JavaFX
JavaFX contains several features that make it a preferred choice for developing rich client
applications:

1|Page
 JavaFX provides out of the box support for applying effects and animations, which are
important for developing gaming applications.
 Built-in UI controls – JavaFX comprises all the major built in UI controls that help in
developing well featured applications.
 CSS styling- just like websites use CSS for styling, JavaFX is also provides the feature to
integrate the application with CSS styling, etc.
JavaFX Application structure
Basic building blocks of JavaFX: stage, scene, and scene graph/nodes.
Stage:
 Its top level container for all the JavaFX objects (scene). A stage I javafx represents the
primary window of a GUI application. The javafx stage is a desktop screen which displays a
javafx output to the user, also its said that stage is window.

 Its represented by stage class of the package javafx.stage. By default the primary stage is
created by the platform itself.
 The created stage object is passed as an argument to the start().

JavaFX scene:

Create scene

JavaFX UI controls

Types of UI controls: Label, Button, Text Field, Text Area, password field, Radio button,
checkbox, combo Box, Menu button, Image View, File chooser, Input Dialogs, Alert Dialogs

1. Label, Text Field, Password Field, Text area, Toggle Button

//Examples on Label, Text Field, Password Field, Text area, Toggle Button
Steps for implementation
 To create a layout, you need to –
Create ode.
Instantiate the respective class of the required layout.
Set the properties of the layout.
Add all the created nodes to the layout.
Add layout to the scene
package uio;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Uio extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Label l1 = new Label("Name");
TextField tf1 = new TextField();

9|Page
 Label l2 = new Label("Password");
PasswordField pf1 = new PasswordField();

Label l3 = new Label("Biablography");

TextArea ta1 = new TextArea();

ta1.setPrefColumnCount(10);
ta1.setPrefRowCount(10);

ToggleButton tb1 = new ToggleButton("bottom");

ToggleButton tb2 = new ToggleButton("left");
ToggleButton tb3 = new ToggleButton("right");

GridPane gp = new GridPane();

gp.add(l1, 0, 0);
gp.add(tf1, 1, 0);

gp.add(l2, 0, 1);
gp.add(pf1, 1, 1);

gp.add(l3, 0, 2);
gp.add(ta1, 1, 2);

gp.add(tb1, 0, 4);
gp.add(tb2, 1, 4);
gp.add(tb3, 2, 4);

10 | P a g e
 Scene scene = new Scene(gp, 400, 350);
Stage st1 = new Stage();

st1.setTitle("Hello World!");
st1.setScene(scene);
st1.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}

}
Output

2. ChoiceBox
//Example Choicebox
package choicebox;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;

11 | P a g e
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Choiceox extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

GridPane gp = new GridPane();

ChoiceBox cb = new ChoiceBox();
cb.getItems().addAll("cs","IT","SW","civil");
Label lb = new Label("Departmet");
gp.add(lb, 0, 0);
gp.add(cb, 1, 0);
Scene scene = new Scene(gp, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
