NotificationPane Question

[Derek F]

Hello.

I was wondering if it is possible to use a NotificationPane with a screen built in SceneBuilder.

For example I have a dynamically loaded tab which was built with FXML.

It starts with a VBox and linked via the fx:id

@FXML
VBox vbox;

private NotificationPane np;

I attempted in the initialize of the controller to do the following;

np = new NotificationPane(vbox);
np.setText("my notification");
np.setShowFromTop(true);

Then in a clickHandler()
np.show();

I get no errors but nothing displays.

Just wondering if that is possible.

Thanks

I too am lookiing for this information.  I'd rather work with it via Scene Builder if I could, but when I imported via "Import Jar/FXML File..." and selected the jar file, NotificationPane was not added to the 'Custom' section in Scene Builder.  Other controls were though.

Otherwise, I would like to know how to programmaticaly use it in relation to a scene built in SceneBuilder.

One moe detail to my post. I walked through the code with the debugger and all seems initialized, however the NotificationPane node doesn't seem to appear in ScenicView while running or I can't find it

[Jonathan Millman]

in your code snippet you never add your NotificationPane (NP) to a scenegraph.

I have used a notification pane with the following code which wraps some FXML defined node in a NP and then "injects" the NP into the scenegraph where the content node was previously (using a BorderPane in this example):

        notificationPane = new NotificationPane(internalBorderPane.getCenter());

        internalBorderPane.setCenter(notificationPane);

        //setup up notification pane properties

        notificationPane.getStyleClass().add(NotificationPane.STYLE_CLASS_DARK);

        notificationPane.setText("New data available for review.");

        notificationPane.setGraphic(new ImageView(INFO));

        notificationPane.setShowFromTop(false);

        notificationPane.getActions().setAll(new AbstractAction("Review Data") {

            @Override

            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {

                runWizard();

                notificationPane.hide();

            }

        });

I hope this helps.  I also would like to be able to use NotificationPane in scenebuilder, but don't have the time to make it work.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I don't want to replace what I have, just append to it.

I just wanted to add the NP to the VBox or AnchorPane, but that still didn't seen to work

[Jonathan Millman]

but NotificationPane is designed to wrap some other content in the scenegraph ...

That's what I was doing - at least I think I was doing. 

np = new NotificationPane(vbox);

Where vbox is linked via the FXML by id.

right, that makes a new notification pane with the vbox as its content, but now you need to put the notification pane into the scenegraph where  the vbox was (don't worry, the vbox will come along with the notification pane)  

hopefull the attached diagram helps explain the situation (arrows indicate "is a child of")

[Purring Pigeon]

It clarifies the relationship I want, however I'm having a tough time figuring out how to do this. 

My scene that I am working with starts with 

Vbox

    AnchorPane

        Various Controls. 

If I do 

np = new NotificationPane (vbox);

I'm not sure how to replace the vbox on the scene graph with the NotificationPane. 

I don't have a reference higher than the vbox which was added to a tab via FXML. 


I was able to do it like this (so thanks!!!) but I was hoping to wrap the top most node on the scene. 

package org.sif.javafx.screen1;

 

import javafx.collections.ObservableList;

import javafx.fxml.FXML;

import javafx.scene.Node;

import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;

import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;

import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;

 

import org.controlsfx.control.NotificationPane;

 

public class ScreenOneController {

                

                @FXML

                TextArea ta;

                @FXML

                VBox vbox;

                

                

                NotificationPane notificationPane;

                

                public void initialize() {

                                

                                ObservableList<Node> list = vbox.getChildren();

                                

                                Node n = list.iterator().next();

                                AnchorPane nn = (AnchorPane)n;

                                

                                notificationPane = new NotificationPane(nn);

        notificationPane.getStyleClass().add(NotificationPane.STYLE_CLASS_DARK);

        notificationPane.setText("New data available for review.");

        notificationPane.setShowFromTop(false);

         

        vbox.getChildren().clear();

        vbox.getChildren().add(notificationPane);

                }

                

                @FXML

                private void okClickHandler() {

                                notificationPane.show();

                }

 

}

is the anchorpane the onlything in the vbox?  why not wrap the anchor pane instead?

It is. I added the vbox to get to it. I'm just not sure how to replace the anchor with the unknown parent.

is there a reason you can't do vbox.getChildren().add(notificationPane)   ?

I decided it made more sense to perform this logic where I dynamically load and position the FXML into the scene and pass a reference to the NotificationPane to the controller. This keeps the code from having redundant duplication.

Thanks for the help. Your insights helped seal direction.

that makes sense too!  I am glad I could help.
