Button - rowSpan now working

[Robert Haynes]

In a grid pane, I am attempting display a basic button that spans multiple rows, however all methods of declaring this setting fail to display properly. To eliminate the possibility of some nested code causing an issue, I defined a new node object and added it to the grid pane.

Two seperate methods tried:

GridPane.setRowSpan(testButton, 3);
myGridPane.add(testButton, 4, 1);

GridPane.setConstraints(testButton, 4, 1, 1, 3, HPos.CENTER, VPos.TOP, Priority.SOMETIMES, Priority.SOMETIMES);
myGridPane.getChildren().add(testButton);

Is there something simple that I am overlooking?


Thanks

There's not really enough information provided in the question to properly advise on it, but pehaps you are not unclamping the max size of the button so that it can fill the available space.

button.setMaxSize(Double.MAX_VALUE, Double.MAX_VALUE);

To understand what the above code does, see the JavaFX layout tips documentation.

Thanks. As many times as I had looked over that page previously, it was never interpreted as "unlocking" and works like a charm. Most likely, I skimmed a bit over the page.
