I need a few popup dialogs on JavaFX2.2. Unfortunately, popups on JavaFX are not simple like they used to be on Java Swing. Do I need to use this library to do so? Where can I download it from?

Really interesting. As mentionned in the jira, i’m interrested about a javafx 2.2 backport of treetable component.
(already tried to extract it, but it’s complicated)

The big Question for me is when will these Components and the rest of JavaFx run on Andriod and IOS? I think this will lead to adaption of this technology.

You should talk to Marco about adding that to his repo. It would be great to see it added.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for the great work.

As mentioned in Marco’s blog comments, I would like to see some mechanism for custom dialogs, i.e with a completely separate stage:

Dialogs.showCustomDlg(…, Stage dlgStage, Class returnValue, …)

Thanks

Excellent work! I’m so pleased

If you have patches for the 8.0 repo (that fix bugs) I will happily fold them back into the sandbox. If you want to fork the code and continue the 2.2 version, I would recommend a site such as bitbucket.

I really needed the simple JavaFX Dialogs for teaching a programming course. Thanks for opening up the repository, Jonathan!

To provide an easy way to use JavaFX Dialogs with JavaFX 2.2 I created a jar file with all the necessary files. See the GitHub repo at https://github.com/marcojakob/javafx-ui-sandbox and the instructions in this blog post: http://edu.makery.ch/blog/2012/10/30/javafx-2-dialogs/

I had to fix some bugs, especially in the input dialog, to make it work.

This might be a start. But we will still need a repo where changes made to the sandbox-8 could easily be merged into. Any ideas?

Yes, the “?” image was from a different icon pack and will need to be replaced in the future – it is just a placeholder for now.

I would love to see someone backport it to work in JavaFX 2.2 – most probably by forking it into JFXtras or somesuch. The amount of effort would actually be minimal.

Hi Jonathan,

Great work! I really like the “JOptionPane”. I think there is a small inconsistency in the icons, the lightning in the “?” is different from the lighting on the other “JOptionPane” icons.

It would be great if this run on 2.2 so we could started, testing and giving feedback right now.

Thanks!
