org.controlsfx.control.NotificationPane

All Implemented Interfaces:

javafx.css.Styleable, javafx.event.EventTarget, javafx.scene.control.Skinnable

public class NotificationPane
extends javafx.scene.control.Control

The NotificationPane control is a container control that, when prompted by the show() method, will show a non-modal message to the user. The notification appears as a bar that will slide in to their application window, either from the top or the bottom of the NotificationPane (based on showFromTopProperty()) wherever that may be in the scenegraph.

Alternative Styling

As is visible in the screenshots further down this documentation, there are two different styles supported by the NotificationPane control. Firstly, there is the default style based on the JavaFX Modena look. The alternative style is what is currently referred to as the 'dark' look. To enable this functionality, simply do the following:

 
 NotificationPane notificationPane = new NotificationPane();   
 notificationPane.getStyleClass().add(NotificationPane.STYLE_CLASS_DARK);
 

Screenshots

To better explain NotificationPane, here is a table showing both the default and dark look for the NotificationPane on a Windows machine (although that shouldn't impact the visuals a great deal). Also, to show the difference between top and bottom placement, these two modes are also captured in the screenshots below:

Code Examples

NotificationPane is a conceptually very simple control - you simply create your user interface as you normally would, and then wrap it inside the NotificationPane. You can then show a notification bar on top of your content simply by calling show() on the notification bar. Here is an example:

 
 // Create a WebView
 WebView webView = new WebView();
 
 // Wrap it inside a NotificationPane
 NotificationPane notificationPane = new NotificationPane(webView);
 
 // and put the NotificationPane inside a Tab
 Tab tab1 = new Tab("Tab 1");
 tab1.setContent(notificationPane);
 
 // and the Tab inside a TabPane. We just have one tab here, but of course 
 // you can have more!
 TabPane tabPane = new TabPane();
 tabPane.getTabs().addAll(tab1);
 

Now that the notification pane is installed inside the tab, at some point later in you application lifecycle, you can do something like the following to have the notification bar slide into view:

  
 notificationPane.setText("Do you want to save your password?");
 notificationPane.getActions().add(new AbstractAction("Save Password") {
     public void execute(ActionEvent ae) {
         // do save...
           
         // then hide...
         notificationPane.hide();
     }
 }

Property Detail

content

public final javafx.beans.property.ObjectProperty<javafx.scene.Node> contentProperty

The content property represents what is shown in the scene that is not within the notification bar. In other words, it is what the notification bar should appear on top of. For example, in the scenario where you are using a WebView to show to the user websites, and you want to popup up a notification bar to save a password, the content would be the WebView. Refer to the NotificationPane class documentation for more details.

Returns:

A property representing the content of this NotificationPane.

The text property represents the text to show within the popup notification bar that appears on top of the content that is within the NotificationPane.
