JavaFX 2.0 :: Styling A TableCell To Indicate Focused Cell In TableView
Sep 15, 2014
I am trying to style the TableCell that has focus in a TableView to simulate how Excel does it. Excel uses a white background with a 3px black border which seems to be centered on the nominal cell edges. That is (and this is issue I am having), the border extends outside of the nominal cell boundaries.
My first naive attempt was to to override the CSS for .table-cell as follows:
.table-cell:selected:focused
{
-fx-background-color: white;
-fx-text-fill: -fx-text-base-color;
[Code]....
Doing this fixed problem (1) from the first attempt since this approach tweaks the background colors without affecting overall TableCell size. However, it still puts the black border completely inside the cell. My attempt to set -fx-background-position to a negative value in an attempt to offset the background seems to be ignored.
Having done this before using a Flex AdvancedDataGrid, my solution was to add a layer on top of the grid which renders the focus rectangle. I wonder if I would have to do a similar thing here.

TableView selection model allows selecting single cells in the table but the default styling highlights the whole row regardless of the actual column selected in the row.
I am just wondering what options are there to change this behaviour so that the actual cell (row/column) get highlighted rather then the whole row.
Something like the $18,000 cell in the "Figure 1 Table overview" in [URL] ....

Here is another cell colouring question with a different take. Say you have a TableView with three columns - Category, In and Out. You add an empty row and then you start editing the Category column. When you have added a category you would like to see a change in the colour of the other two column cells in the same row depending on the category value.
Say if the category is 'income' then the 'In' cell will become green and the 'Out' cell becomes red. The important point here is that these cells and the underlying domain object does not have any values associated with these columns yet. The cells are empty and colour change is to show the user where the value should be put for the given category (into the green cell ).
Therefore after the category value is committed a 'message' needs to be propagated from the category column to the current row (or the whole table) to repaint itself. I have tried calling the following methods from the Category column's 'commit()' method but neither of them triggers a repaint:
- getTableRow().requestLayout();
- getTableRow().updateTableView(getTableView())
- getTableRow().updateIndex(getTableView().selectionModelProperty().get().selectedIndexProperty().get());
Once the re-paint is triggered then both In and Out column table cells can take the current category value from the underlying domain object (say MyRecord) like this
MyRecord record = getTableView().getItems().get(getTableRow().getIndex());
String category = row.getCategory();
and call the setStyle(".....") on the cell to change the colour.

I am building an application that shows tables with large amounts of data containing columns that should display a thumbnail. However, this thumbnail is supposed to be loaded in the background lazily, when a row becomes visible because it is computationally too expensive to to this when the model data is loaded and typically not necessary to retrieve the thumbnail for all data that is in the table.
I have done the exact same thing in the past in a Swing application by doing this:
Whenever the model has changed or the vertical scrollbar has moved:
- Render a placeholder image in the custom cell renderer for this JTable if no image is available in the model object representing the corresponding row
- Compute the visible rows by using getVisibleRect and rowAtPoint methods in JTable
- Start a background thread that retrieves the image for the given rows and sets the resulting BufferedImage in a custom Model Object that was used in the TableModel (if not already there because of an earlier run)
- Fire a corresponding model change event in the EDT whenever an image has been retrieved in the background thread so the row is rendered again
Btw. the field in the model class holding the BufferedImage was a weak reference in this case so the memory can be reclaimed as needed by the application.
What is the best way to achieve this behaviour using a JFX TableView? I have so far failed to find anything in the API to retrieve the visible items/rows. Is there a completely different approach available/required that uses the Cell API? I fail to see it so far.

I have a TableCell that will hold numbers in a tableview. All is working work nicely, but I want the following behavior:
- when the user begins to edit such a cell, if it doesn't enter a number, the cell will not call commitEdit, but rather display a red border and prevent the user from changing the focus to anything else until he either: enters a correct number or presses ESC.
I don't know how to keep the user in that editting cell if while he has an incorect number. Currently he can click other row/control and he will break the edditing state. I repeat, I don't want the user to be able to click on any row/control until he has a correct number.
Here is my cell implementation:
public class EditableIntegerCell extends TableCell<Person, Integer> {
private TextField textField;
@Override
public void startEdit() {
if (!isEmpty()) {
super.startEdit();
createTextField();
setText(null);
[Code] .....

I'm trying to add a tooltip on a cell of a TableView in order to show some information to the user.
This is the code:
colonnaColore.setCellFactory(param -> {
TableCell<Appuntamento, Template> cell = new TableCell<Appuntamento, Template>() {
@Override
protected void updateItem(Template item, boolean empty) {
// calling super here is very important - don't
[Code] ....
In few words: there is a cell factory on the cell to show a colored box, then I added a tooltip to the cell. I need informations that are in the item added to the TableView that has type "Appuntamento". So I try to get my element with these code (that in others part of my code works); but here I get a Null Pointer Exception on cell.getTableView() and also on cell.getTableRow().
I'm probably using these methods in a way that was not expected.

I have a combo box inside a table cell for each row. I have defined a value change listener for each combobox. Whenever the combo box value is changed, the selected item is placed inside a MAPVOBean. The problem i am facing is when the user scrolls Up and down the tableview , the change listener is fired even without clicking on it the explicitly, and this changes the my value in my data structure. How to handle this. The source code is attached.
My Model:
Person class
Has first name, last name and MAPVOBean.
Address is stored in a MAPVOBean. It has a map and key is house number and the value is the state where the house is. It is assumed that the person can have one house in each state.
Columns in table view:
Column 1: First Name
Column 2: Last name
Column 3: State combo box. This shows the state in which the person owns a house.

Our users want us to build the following ontop of a TableView: When a key was typed, the row selection shall change to the first row showing a cell in a given column whose getText() starts with the typed letter. Such a functionality is known from lots of other software, like the Windows file explorer, where you can type a key to jump to the first file starting with that letter. It shouldn't be too complex to build, but due to the separation of "items" and "formatted cell text" it actually is... :-(
Using TableColumn.getCellData(S) we can access the item, but at that point, we don't want to repeat the formatting just for the sake of this functionality. We have set a cell factory providing this format, so the view looks great, but how can we access that formatted String programmatically to jump to the right row at a later time?

I have a stylesheet (mystylesheet.css) with following entry:
.flowpane{
-fx-background-color: rgb(0,0,0);
}
In then start-method of my application I execute:
StackPane root = new FlowPane();
Scene scene = new Scene(root,primaryScreenBounds.getWidth(),primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());
scene.getStylesheets().add(css.getFile());
root.applyCss();
No FlowPane gets black. But if I do that in SceneBuilder and add the stylesheet to root than after loading Fxml-file the FlowPane gets black.
Another approach:
StackPane root = new FlowPane();
Scene scene = new Scene(root,primaryScreenBounds.getWidth(),primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());
scene.getStylesheets().add(css.getFile());
root.getStyleSheets().add(css.getFile());
root.applyCss();
Nothing happens.
StackPane root = new FlowPane();
Scene scene = new Scene(root,primaryScreenBounds.getWidth(),primaryScreenBounds.getHeight());
scene.getStylesheets().add(css.getFile());
root.getStyleSheets().add(css.getFile());
root.getStyleClass().add("flowpanel");
root.applyCss();
Doesn't work too;
but root.setStyle("-fx-background-color: rgb(0,0,0) works. But I need to style my application by css-files.

I'm doing a bit of styling in TableView. The result is quite nice but I can't make the left top corner round. This is the actual result:
[URL] ....
And this is the css :
.table-view {
-fx-background-color: transparent;
}
/*HEADER */
.table-view .column-header{
[Code] .....
I would also like the top left corner was round.

I am facing an issue with the TableView in Java FX 8.
I am having a TableView created with data with scrollbars automatically added in when the Window is minimized.
I moved the horizontal scrollbar to right and then maximized the window to full.
After this the column headers remained no longer aligned with the content. When I click on any column header then the header aligns with the content.
The Issue is replicable also in case when a vertical scrollbar gets automatically added to a table view with preloaded data...

I have an FXML table view. And I want to assign value from an tableview create on class to FXML tableview. But at the end is not displaying data.
Example:
@FXML private TableView fxmlTable;
private TableView insideClassTable;
public class SomeClass
{
public SomeClass(){
insideClassTable = new TableView();
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Filling insideClassTable with data.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
fxmlTable= insideClassTable;
}
// some other code and main
}
If I set value to fxmlTable, data are display correctly, but if assign value to insideClassTable first and then make fxmlTable=insideClassTable they are not display.

I would like to defined a TableView with a column containing a CheckBox.
This can be done with an instruction like this : myColum.setCellFactory(CheckBoxTableCell.forTableColumn(myColumn);
The problem is how to specify that the displayed CheckBox is an indeterminate one ?

I have a column of my TableView that just shows row numbers, and I would like to style the cells in that column so that they appears just like a column header (so the same styling as the headers use). I presume there is some simple way to do this by tapping into the right style class, but I am not sure which one.

I am trying to code a TableView with dynamic columns and I saw a lot of examples like this one: Creating columns dynamically. But any of those would work for my needs.
Its very simple:
I got a List of Customers, and each one has a List of Buys.
A Buy has a String "buyDetail" and a Date for the ship.
My TableView need to have the first column with the name of the Customer, and one column more for every day of existing ships. We don't know previously which days will be used. If the amount of money is superior of 100, for example, I need to be able of applying different styles.
Example:
Customer2015/01/022015/01/032015/01/09Morgan$400 (buyDetail)0$100Luis00$20Steven$1000Hulk0$5$32
I cant use the Properties because i dont know how many Buys will have each Customer.
My best try (only for the first column) was this, but I cant get the Buy updated if I edit the value in the cell: I didn't try to write the others columns code because I feel that im doing it really wrong.. This Shows the Customer´s names, but I cant handle if that data is edited.
table = new TableView<Customer>();
ObservableList<Customer> lista = FXCollections.observableList(registros);
table.setItems(lista);
TableColumn<Customer, Customer> customerNameColumn = new TableColumn<Customer, Customer>("");
[Code] ....

col_orien.setOnEditCommit
But it doesn't work (col_orien is the name of the tablecolumn that contain the check box)
Here is my code :

@Override
public void handle(CellEditEvent<Information, Boolean> event) {
System.out.println("Edit commit");
}

I would like to create list of entities which is populated by a search function with the data coming from our REST webservice. However I would like it to be multi-line, with the first line being details from the entity itself and the second line buttons for options that can be performed.
So as an example say my entity is People, the first line would contain columns for first name, last name, gender, DOB, etc. The second line would be buttons for "Edit Person", "Print Person details". With the standard TableView I can't see anyway to alternate between one row of data and another row of buttons.

I have a TableView and it is scrolled to have some rows visible. Lets call the top visible row T, and the bottom one B.
I now replace the items in the TableView with a whole new list of items (so new data to view), but I want to scroll back to either T or B.
It seems to me that I have to somehow keep track of the topmost visible row, or the bottom-most visible row, but I can't figure out how to do that.

I'm using the tableview-component. The size of font of header is greater then that of cells. The problem is: the width of the column bases on the cell with the longest string and if the header-string is longer then the header gets truncated (it shows ellipsis) and I have to change the width of column manually. How could I solve this problem? The easiest way would be to compute the column-width on myself. I can't find any method in javafx, that would allow to compute the width of string in pixels. In Swing there is the FontMetrics class and Graphics class, so it is easy to get the width in pixels. Are there any pendants to this classes in JavaFX?

I have a JavaFX 8 TableView with multiple columns. The CellValueFactories for the columns are set as:
xxxColumn.setCellValueFactory(new ItemCountFactory(itemName));
where itemName is a String identifying a different item for each column.
ItemCountFactory returns a StringBinding as the cell value, as follows:
public ObservableValue<String> call(CellDataFeatures<Category, String> rowData) {
return new ItemCountBinding(rowData.getValue(), itemName);
}
where
class ItemCountBinding extends StringBinding {
...
protected String computeValue() {
String cellValue = ...;
return cellValue;
}
}
The StringBinding depends on properties of the Category instance for the table row. The correct data is displayed okay, but I have noticed that every time one of the Category properties changes (i.e., every time a cell value changes), ItemCountFactory is called again to create a new StringBinding. I would have expected the Factory to be invoked just once for each cell during initialization, and then the table column would monitor the returned Observable object. Instead it seems to be creating a new Observable object every time the cell value changes. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? Same behavior on Java 8u20 and 8u40. If it is not the expected behavior, I will write an example test program; I do not want to post the current full source code.
The table items are set just once, with:
countTable.setItems(categoryList);
where categoryList is of type ObservableList<Category>. The list itself is not modified after being associated with the table; i.e., no rows are added or deleted or replaced.

I try to bind the text-property of a selected cell of a TreeView to a label. So if the user click on a cell in the treeview the label should show the cell text. Now I am quite confused about the options I got to do so. Should I use label.textProperty().bind( ... ??? ... ) The treeview.onMouseClicked()property? or something different?
