JavaFX and SwingNode - partial black Window

Question

I tried to use Swing Components in JavaFX with the SwingNode:

public class MyTest extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {

             


        

Answer 1

I've found an "awful" solution, but that works for me, repainting the Swing component in a delayed way, after showing the Stage:

new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {
            swingNode.getContent().repaint();
        }
    }, 500L);

so, your code will look like this:

public class MyTest extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {

        final SwingNode swingNode = new SwingNode();
        FlowPane pane = new FlowPane();

        Button btn = new Button("1");
        btn.setVisible(false);
        pane.getChildren().add(btn);

        createAndSetSwingContent(swingNode);
        pane.getChildren().add(swingNode);


        stage.setScene(new Scene(pane, 100, 50));

        stage.show();

        btn.setVisible(true);

        // delays Swing component repaint 1/2 sec.
        new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {
                public void run() {
                    swingNode.getContent().repaint();
                }
            }, 500L);

    }

    private void createAndSetSwingContent(final SwingNode swingNode) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                swingNode.setContent(new JButton("Click me!"));
            }
        });
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

A bit late, but I hope it helps!
