How to create a text area in JavaFX?
A text area is a multi-line editor where you can enter text. Unlike previous versions, in the latest versions of JavaFX, a TextArea does not allow single lines in it. You can create a text area by instantiating the javafx.scene.control.TextArea class.
Example
The following Example demonstrates the creation of a TextArea.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture;
import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TextAreaExample extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage) {
//Setting the label
Label label = new Label("Address");
Font font = Font.font("verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR, 12);
label.setFont(font);
//Creating a pagination
TextArea area = new TextArea();
//Setting number of pages
area.setText("Enter your address here");
area.setPrefColumnCount(15);
area.setPrefHeight(120);
area.setPrefWidth(300);
//Creating a hbox to hold the pagination
HBox hbox = new HBox();
hbox.setSpacing(20);
hbox.setPadding(new Insets(20, 50, 50, 60));
hbox.getChildren().addAll(label, area);
//Setting the stage
Group root = new Group(hbox);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 595, 200, Color.BEIGE);
stage.setTitle("Text Area");
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String args[]){
launch(args);
}
}Output
