[FIXED] Position JavaFX Button in a specific location

Issue

My Question is how can i position a javafx button in a specific location.

All the time that i tried to do this simple code is resulting that the Button is only located in the Center of the screen and not on my desired location.

(I'm using StackPane)

Code:

Button button = new Button();

button.setLayoutX(x);
button.setLayoutY(y);

Thanks in advance ,

Amit.

Solution

If you want to specify the exact co-ordinates of your node, you can use a Pane instead of StackPane.

Your button, if added to a StackPane or similar layout which supports alignment, must use the translate properties to move the button. You cannot use setLayoutX() or setLayoutY() with these layouts.

Try using the following command to move the button from its initial location :

button.setTranslateX(10);
button.setTranslateY(20);
