Question

I want to disable a button for a specific time in JavaFX application. Is there any option to do this? If not, is there any work around for this?

Below is my code in

Answer 1

Or you could use a Service and bind the running property to the disableProperty of the button do you want to disable.

public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    VBox vbox = new VBox(10.0);
    vbox.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);      

    final Button button = new Button("Your Button Name");
    button.setOnAction(new EventHandler() {            
        @Override
        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            Service service = new Service() {                   
                @Override
                protected Task createTask() {
                    return new Task() {
                        @Override
                        protected Void call() throws Exception {
                            Thread.sleep(5000);//Waiting time
                            return null;
                        }
                    };
                }
            };
            button.disableProperty().bind(service.runningProperty());               
            service.start();
        }
    });     

    vbox.getChildren().addAll(button);
    Scene scene = new Scene(vbox, 300, 300);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}

But the Timeline solution given by Uluk Biy, looks more elegant.
