While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

hi

#

what yall use to create GUIs?

#

should I be using JavaFX or FXML?

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

is it possible to create a button that can create a new window?

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

median brook should I be using JavaFX or FXML?

both

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

median brook is it possible to create a button that can create a new window?

yes

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

minor aurora both

why both?

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

median brook why both?

do you know what fxml is ?

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

I dont know the definition of it

#

but I kind of know what it does

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

what does it do ?

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

it creates gui

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:13 PM

#

it's a file format

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:13 PM

#

it sort of looks like html format

#

using the <>

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

containing data about the structure of part of a gui

#

that can be be read by javafx

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

how do you use both at once?

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

median brook it sort of looks like html format

xml

#

how can you do fxml without javafx ?

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

idk

#

thats why Im asking

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

as I said

#

fxml is used by javafx

#

it's part of javafx

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

but you can create code in the .java file or the .fxml file

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

no

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

like I can create a buttoin in .fxml and .java

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

you don't put code in fxml

#

you put the structure that a button would have

#

then it will be loaded by javafx into java

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:16 PM

#

can you give me an example?

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

create a scene with fxml

#

then load it with FXMLLoader in java

#

and then you can manipulate it from here

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:18 PM

#

well

#

idk how to do that

#

but I am watching a course on javafx

#

its not easy for a beginner to do that

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:20 PM

#

you do it with scenebuilder

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

how do I add more than one window to an app in java?

#

All I see are swing tutorials when I google

#

actually I think I found it

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

median brook how do I add more than one window to an app in java?

create a Stage, set the scene, display it

#

@median brook and what's the problem with scenebuilder ?

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

minor aurora <@505606667782586372> and what's the problem with scenebuilder ?

theres not much tutorials on it

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

median brook theres not much tutorials on it

I don't think you need any tutorial 🤔

#

i mean, it's easy to use

#

you create a scene

#

and then you drag and drop

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

I dont know what every pane or controls or cluons is

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

what may be a bit hard to understand is how the controller will work with it tho

minor aurora Jul 20, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

median brook I dont know what every pane or controls or cluons is

you have the javadoc and tutorials for that

#

Anyway, I'll go to sleep
If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

sleep??

#

good night

median brook Jul 20, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

which item in scenebuilder do I use to create three circles, making sure one of them is checked? is it the radio button?

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

how do I create an executable file in java?

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 6:59 AM

#

median brook which item in scenebuilder do I use to create three circles, making sure one of ...

Yes

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:00 AM

#

median brook how do I create an executable file in java?

It's kinda complicated: you first need to create a jar of your program, then you need to use jpackage to create a jre and package it in an installer
Maven has plug-in for all of that btw

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:01 AM

#

you are awake 🙂

#

hope you had a good sleep

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:01 AM

#

I had

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:02 AM

#

Im working on another project

#

Trying to make a client/server chat app

#

this is my GUI so far for the client

#

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:06 AM

#

The text area is a bit too big 🤔

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:06 AM

#

is it?

#

how do I create a border around the controls?

#

nevermind I found it

#

#

how about this

#

on the right of the textarea is a list of names

#

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:14 AM

#

?

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:15 AM

#

its not that big, I think the text area just looks big because of the screenshot

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:16 AM

#

It is too big

#

There is no room around it

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:16 AM

#

its 800x700

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:16 AM

#

Doesn't matter

#

There is no room around it

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:17 AM

#

why does it need room around it?

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:17 AM

#

That's how you make something visually good

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:17 AM

#

oh okay

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:18 AM

#

Don't try to optimize the place so there is nothing else

#

It's claustrophobic

#

First let a marging of nothing around the app

#

Second the main text area shouldn't take the whole width

#

But not more than 80%

#

And if possible less than 60%

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:21 AM

#

Im new to this

#

#

does this look better?

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:31 AM

#

median brook Im new to this

Add a bit more room between each component and the borders

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:32 AM

#

okay

#

like more spacing between the blue lines?

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:33 AM

#

median brook like more spacing between the blue lines?

Yes
And the borders of the app too

#

You also have space at the bottom, you can shift things a bit toward here

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:38 AM

#

#

#

please say you approve

minor aurora Jul 21, 2023, 7:48 AM

#

It's better yes^^

median brook Jul 21, 2023, 7:49 AM

#

how do I make the app not resizable?

#

#

I cant disable it

#

nevermind I did it in the java file

what is this error?

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:47 AM

problem in menuaddcontroller

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:47 AM

I deleted that controller

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

https://i.imgur.com/Cctc9Oz.png

Imgur

#

still used somewhere ?

#

if u had an fxml tied to that controller, look in there

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

I had a button but I deleted it

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

( most likely u just deleted the thing instead of doing it the correcter way )

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:50 AM

#

its working now

#

I added an image in scenebuilder but when I start the app it doesnt show

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:51 AM

#

did u place it in resources or just some random location ?

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:52 AM

#

I didnt add it anywhere

#

I added in the properties for the image view

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:53 AM

#

then it most likely cannot find it

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

#

should I move it here?

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

might i suggest looking for a tutorial or video that show's u how to do basic FX projects ? It will help u alot more then just doing 1 thing and the instantly asking here

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

okay

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:55 AM

#

we dont mind the questions, just not on every action 😉

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:55 AM

#

yeah

#

its not easy for me

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:55 AM

#

its easy, u just skipped to far ahead to learn things

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:56 AM

#

well my professor doesnt really teach

#

he has no output about scene builder

#

he wants us to do everything in fxml or javafx

#

not including scene builder

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 6:57 AM

#

He's only doing his job with most likely a preset course that he has to follow. That doesn't stop u from using the internet 🙂

#

and u can't really teach coding to someone, u can explain and guide some, but the area is waaay to big to even cover the basics on how to do things

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 6:59 AM

#

the only thing he told us about gui is how to create a button and a label

#

I could have learned that just by running the javafx default

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 7:01 AM

#

can still get alot worse

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 7:01 AM

#

i doubt that

#

i mean hes a good guy

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 7:01 AM

#

when i had my courses, i got handed a half A4 page with the assignment and the teacher never showed after due to illness. Project still due at x date, if not there, year had to be redone

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 7:02 AM

#

yeah mine isnt that bad

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 7:02 AM

#

little elbow grease and google / duckduckgo finds alot of info on how to do things with scenebuilder and Fx

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 7:14 AM

#

my group partner is doing the whole scene without fxml

#

is that wrong?

shy lily Jul 22, 2023, 7:16 AM

#

basic gui, not at all

#

builder is easier and faster

#

wysiwyg vs restarting to see what u get

#

( What you see is what you get )

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 7:18 AM

#

yeah I am trying to redo everything

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 7:39 AM

Yes if you search correctly

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 8:54 AM

#

I need help

#

let me search google

#

I want to make the table editable

#

when someone clicks or double clicks on the table, a textbox appears

#

my friend did it but I cant seem to replicate it

minor aurora Jul 22, 2023, 9:06 AM

#

median brook when someone clicks or double clicks on the table, a textbox appears

listen on click, thanks to scenebuilder

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:07 AM

#

minor aurora Jul 22, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

you say you wanted to make a textbox appear @median brook

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

inside the table

minor aurora Jul 22, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

not that it should be here by default

#

ah

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:08 AM

#

a textbox insides the table

minor aurora Jul 22, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

median brook

and you should be able to do that directly from scenebuilder

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

so they can edit it

#

what is a header graphic?

minor aurora Jul 22, 2023, 9:10 AM

#

median brook what is a header graphic?

they simply set a vbox in the column of the table

#

but as i said, you should be able to do that from scenebuilder directly

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:10 AM

#

directly as in changing a property?

minor aurora Jul 22, 2023, 9:14 AM

#

median brook directly as in changing a property?

no, you can drag a drop a vbox or textfield on the table

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:15 AM

#

let me go see how vbox works

#

ok what I am trying to do is make every table cell editable

#

this is his program

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 8:42 PM

#

anyone can help with this?

median brook Jul 22, 2023, 9:11 PM

like if I sent this to my friend and he doesnt have scene builder, will it work?

Scenebuilder is just to make the fxml file
