JavaFX: How to determine margin in TextField in css?

Is it possible to specify padding and margin for TextField

in JavaFX using CSS? I've tried -fx-padding

some other properties too, but no effect. I am using JavaFX 2.2 which is included with the latest Java 7.

I have a lot of text boxes and something like:

    <GridPane.margin>
        <Insets bottom="10.0" left="60.0" right="0.0" top="10.0"/>
    </GridPane.margin>

after every textbox doesn't work for me.

Modified copy from Set field for individual element via java fx css

Theres no -fx-margin: 5px css property for javafx textboxes, but you can get around this behavior with a combination of padding, border insertion, and background nesting.

For example, a text box with a 5px margin.



.text-field-with-margin {
    -fx-padding: 5px;
    -fx-border-insets: 5px;
    -fx-background-insets: 5px;
}

Alternatively, you can also define higher padding and bottom padding values ​​if you want padding and margins.

TextField

JavaFX has a CSS class text-field

.

You can define the following rule:

.text-field {
   ....
}


But I think you want to create some spacing around the margins, right? Unfortunately TextField

there is no margin property for s.

I usually define padding to wrap Control

. In this case, you define padding for all GridPanes.

Check out the JavaFX CSS link for more information .
