Blue area position issue

[lovky]

Hello, I have this issue with Dock as you can see the blue area is moved down for size of menu and tcs (200 heigh). I found out if I change dockAreaDrag.localToScene(0, 0); to y = -200 blue area is fixed but buttons are the moved down.
How can I hotfix it ?

[RobertBColton]

I understand, the docking area does not include the list at the bottom and the docking indicator is going outside of that area. The relevant code is here:

DockFX/src/main/java/org/dockfx/DockPane.java

Line 574 in 8d44134

if (dockPosDrag != null) {

The blue rectangle with dotted border is called the dockAreaIndicator and it is moved to the node you are dragging over:

DockFX/src/main/java/org/dockfx/DockPane.java

Line 586 in 8d44134

dockAreaIndicator.setTranslateY(dockAreaDrag.getLayoutBounds().getHeight() / 2);

Hi RobertBColton and lovky,

I am new JavaFX developer, I am trying to do JavaFX docking UI and see DockFX is very good framework to use.

But i don't sure how to add menu file and tools bar with DockFX source demo.

Can you guide me how to do? Above i see lovky has done very good UI looking include Menu Toolbar and Menu file.

Thanks,

@xhuutrix I don't mean to be rude when I say this, but please try not to takeover other people's tickets with unrelated questions. In the future, please open a new ticket if you have questions that are not related to any issue. Regardless, I'll answer your question anyway this one time.

Following the Layouts tutorial here: https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/layout/builtin_layouts.htm
The MenuBar example here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/MenuBar.html
The MenuBar tutorial here: https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/menu_controls.htm
And the ToolBar example here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/ToolBar.html

NOTE: It seems there is a mistake in the ToolBar example about the type of Separator's constructor parameter.

I was able to add a MenuBar and ToolBar to the scene, however, this reproduces the problem reported by the OP with the blue areas:

This is the modified demo code:

    final Menu menu1 = new Menu("File");
    final Menu menu2 = new Menu("Options");
    final Menu menu3 = new Menu("Help");
    
    MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
    menuBar.getMenus().addAll(menu1, menu2, menu3);

    ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar(
        new Button("New"),
        new Button("Open"),
        new Button("Save"),
        new Separator(),
        new Button("Clean"),
        new Button("Compile"),
        new Button("Run"),
        new Separator(),
        new Button("Debug"),
        new Button("Profile")
    );

    VBox vbox = new VBox();
    vbox.getChildren().addAll(menuBar, toolBar, dockPane);
    VBox.setVgrow(dockPane, Priority.ALWAYS);

    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(vbox, 800, 500));

If I happen to find the time this weekened, I may update the demo and push a fix for the blue areas.

[RobertBColton]

Alright, I've a pushed a fix: f369da8

I simply needed to subtract the DockPane's position in the scene from the dockAreaDrag's position in the scene. This works whether you use a MenuBar, ToolBar, or have only a DockPane in the scene.

A MenuBar and ToolBar are both included in the demo now. You can find the 0.4 Beta, with this fix included, on the releases page: https://github.com/RobertBColton/DockFX/releases/tag/0.4b

I have scenebuilder 2.0, when I try to import into scene builder for the version 4.0 betea dockfx, no controls are loaded

When I move a window I get this error, this is because I use Java 11. How could that problem be solved with Java 11?
Thank you.

add "--add-exports=javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.scene.input=ALL-UNNAMED" to VM arguments when using Java 11+
