  • Property Details

    • id

      public final StringProperty idProperty
      The id of this PopupControl. This simple string identifier is useful for finding a specific Node within the scene graph. While the id of a Node should be unique within the scene graph, this uniqueness is not enforced. This is analogous to the "id" attribute on an HTML element (CSS ID Specification).
      Default value:
      null
      See Also:

    • style

      public final StringProperty styleProperty
      A string representation of the CSS style associated with this specific PopupControl. This is analogous to the "style" attribute of an HTML element. Note that, like the HTML style attribute, this variable contains style properties and values and not the selector portion of a style rule.

      A value of null is implicitly converted to an empty String.

      Default value:
      null
      See Also:

    • skin

      public final ObjectProperty<Skin<?>> skinProperty
      Skin is responsible for rendering this PopupControl. From the perspective of the PopupControl, the Skin is a black box. It listens and responds to changes in state in a PopupControl.

      There is a one-to-one relationship between a PopupControl and its Skin. Every Skin maintains a back reference to the PopupControl.

      A skin may be null.

      Specified by:
      skinProperty in interface Skinnable
      Returns:
      the skin property for this Skinnable
      See Also:

    • minWidth

      public final DoubleProperty minWidthProperty
      Property for overriding the control's computed minimum width. This should only be set if the control's internally computed minimum width doesn't meet the application's layout needs.

      Defaults to the USE_COMPUTED_SIZE flag, which means that getMinWidth(forHeight) will return the control's internally computed minimum width.

      Setting this value to the USE_PREF_SIZE flag will cause getMinWidth(forHeight) to return the control's preferred width, enabling applications to easily restrict the resizability of the control.

      See Also:

    • minHeight

      public final DoubleProperty minHeightProperty
      Property for overriding the control's computed minimum height. This should only be set if the control's internally computed minimum height doesn't meet the application's layout needs.

      Defaults to the USE_COMPUTED_SIZE flag, which means that getMinHeight(forWidth) will return the control's internally computed minimum height.

      Setting this value to the USE_PREF_SIZE flag will cause getMinHeight(forWidth) to return the control's preferred height, enabling applications to easily restrict the resizability of the control.

      See Also:

    • prefWidth

      public final DoubleProperty prefWidthProperty
      Property for overriding the control's computed preferred width. This should only be set if the control's internally computed preferred width doesn't meet the application's layout needs.

      Property for overriding the control's computed preferred height. This should only be set if the control's internally computed preferred height doesn't meet the application's layout needs.

      Defaults to the USE_COMPUTED_SIZE flag, which means that getPrefHeight(forWidth) will return the control's internally computed preferred width.

      See Also:

    • maxWidth

      public final DoubleProperty maxWidthProperty
      Property for overriding the control's computed maximum width. This should only be set if the control's internally computed maximum width doesn't meet the application's layout needs.

      Defaults to the USE_COMPUTED_SIZE flag, which means that getMaxWidth(forHeight) will return the control's internally computed maximum width.

      Setting this value to the USE_PREF_SIZE flag will cause getMaxWidth(forHeight) to return the control's preferred width, enabling applications to easily restrict the resizability of the control.

      See Also:

    • maxHeight

      public final DoubleProperty maxHeightProperty
      Property for overriding the control's computed maximum height. This should only be set if the control's internally computed maximum height doesn't meet the application's layout needs.

      Defaults to the USE_COMPUTED_SIZE flag, which means that getMaxHeight(forWidth) will return the control's internally computed maximum height.

      Setting this value to the USE_PREF_SIZE flag will cause getMaxHeight(forWidth) to return the control's preferred height, enabling applications to easily restrict the resizability of the control.

  • Field Details

    • USE_PREF_SIZE

      public static final double USE_PREF_SIZE
      Sentinel value which can be passed to a control's setMinWidth(), setMinHeight(), setMaxWidth() or setMaxHeight() methods to indicate that the preferred dimension should be used for that max and/or min constraint.
      See Also:

    • USE_COMPUTED_SIZE

      public static final double USE_COMPUTED_SIZE
      Sentinel value which can be passed to a control's setMinWidth(), setMinHeight(), setPrefWidth(), setPrefHeight(), setMaxWidth(), setMaxHeight() methods to reset the control's size constraint back to it's intrinsic size returned by computeMinWidth(), computeMinHeight(), computePrefWidth(), computePrefHeight(), computeMaxWidth(), or computeMaxHeight().

    • bridge

      protected PopupControl.CSSBridge bridge
      We need a special root node, except we can't replace the special root node already in the PopupControl. So we'll set our own special almost-root node that is a child of the root. This special root node is responsible for mapping the id, styleClass, and style defined on the PopupControl such that CSS will read the values from the PopupControl, and then apply CSS state to that special node. The node will then be able to pass cssSet calls along, such that any subclass of PopupControl will be able to use the Styleable properties and we'll be able to style it from CSS, in such a way that it participates and applies to the skin, exactly the way that normal Skin's work for normal Controls.

    • getStyleableParent

      public Styleable getStyleableParent()
      Return the parent of this Styleable, or null if there is no parent. A PopupControl's styles are based on the popup "owner" which is the ownerNode or, if the ownerNode is not set, the root of the ownerWindow's scene. If the popup has not been shown, both ownerNode and ownerWindow will be null and null will be returned. Note that the PopupWindow's scene root is not returned because there is no way to guarantee that the PopupWindow's scene root would properly return the ownerNode or ownerWindow.
      Specified by:
      getStyleableParent in interface Styleable
      Returns:
      PopupWindow.getOwnerNode(), PopupWindow.getOwnerWindow(), or null.
