Help with JavaFX Alignment

[ocean valve]

I'm using a GridPane, this is the code to start it:

GridPane grid = new GridPane();
grid.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
grid.setHgap(10.);
grid.setVgap(10.);
grid.setPadding(new Insets(25,25,25,25));

I'm trying to make the small box be placed right next to the Add Word button. I've added the button and textInput with

Button addSpellBtn = new Button("Add Word");
grid.add(addSpellBtn, 0, 4);
TextField spellingAddField = new TextField();
grid.add(spellingAddField, 1, 4);

How would I go about putting them next to each other, but still keep it able to be moved around on the grid view?

Please and thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm not sure I understand what do you want... What does it mean "but still keep it able to be moved around on the grid view"?

I'd highly suggest switching from a GridPane to a TilePane and browsing the alignment options with that class

GridPane usually has less options when it comes to node alignment.

use scene builder

I’ll take a look at TilePane!

i'd suggest using SceneBuilder... these types of issues would be totally removed 🙂

[brittle stream]

with an AnchorPane as the root element and multiple Pane(s) on top

[subtle nymph]

U gusss he will not use SceneBuilder because it generates FXMLs and for some people it is just too complicated 😄

[ocean valve]

Not that it’s too complicated, I’d just rather do it programmatically
It’s just my personal choice
