I am building a UI using Java FX scene builder and I want a button in a toolbar to float towards the right side of the toolbar. I have tried changing the node orientation of
Add a pane with no content which always grows to fit available space between the left aligned tools in the bar and right aligned ones.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<ToolBar prefHeight="40.0" prefWidth="318.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8">
<Button text="Apples" />
<Button text="Oranges" />
<Pane HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS" />
<Button text="Help" />
</ToolBar>
If you could place ur button inside a stack pane then u could make use of Stackpane's alignment property that takes javafx.geometry.Pos - The alignment of the child within the stackpane.For example in ur case:
<StackPane >
<Button translateY="-15" translateX="15" StackPane.alignment="TOP_RIGHT"/>
</StackPane>
BorderPane mainBorderPane = new BorderPane();
BorderPane ToolBorderPane = new BorderPane();
ToolBar tBarLeft=new ToolBar();
ToolBar tBarRight=new ToolBar();
ToolBorderPane.setLeft(tBarLeft);
ToolBorderPane.setRight(tBarRight);
mainBorderPane.setTop(ToolBorderPane);
... ... for your left aligment items add tBarLeft and your right aligment items add tBarRight
