ColumnConstraints (JavaFX 2.2)

java.lang.Object
- javafx.scene.layout.ConstraintsBase
- - javafx.scene.layout.ColumnConstraints

public class ColumnConstraints
extends ConstraintsBase

Defines optional layout constraints for a column in a GridPane. If a ColumnConstraints object is added for a column in a gridpane, the gridpane will use those constraint values when computing the column's width and layout.

For example, to create a GridPane with 5 columns 100 pixels wide:


     GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
     for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
         ColumnConstraints column = new ColumnConstraints(100);
         gridpane.getColumnConstraints().add(column);
     }

Or, to create a GridPane where columns take 25%, 50%, 25% of its width:


     GridPane gridpane = new GridPane();
     ColumnConstraints col1 = new ColumnConstraints();
     col1.setPercentWidth(25);
     ColumnConstraints col2 = new ColumnConstraints();
     col2.setPercentWidth(50);
     ColumnConstraints col3 = new ColumnConstraints();
     col3.setPercentWidth(25);
     gridpane.getColumnConstraints().addAll(col1,col2,col3);

Note that adding an empty ColumnConstraints object has the effect of not setting any constraints, leaving the GridPane to compute the column's layout based solely on its content's size preferences and constraints.

- Property Detail
  - minWidth
```
public final DoubleProperty minWidthProperty
```
    The minimum width for the column. This property is ignored if percentWidth is set.
    The default value is USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, which means the minimum width will be computed to be the largest minimum width of the column's content.
    
    See Also:
    getMinWidth(), setMinWidth(double)
  - prefWidth
```
public final DoubleProperty prefWidthProperty
```
    The preferred width for the column. This property is ignored if percentWidth is set.
    The default value is USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, which means the preferred width will be computed to be the largest preferred width of the column's content.
    
    See Also:
    getPrefWidth(), setPrefWidth(double)
  - maxWidth
```
public final DoubleProperty maxWidthProperty
```
    The maximum width for the column. This property is ignored if percentWidth is set.
    The default value is USE_COMPUTED_SIZE, which means the maximum width will be computed to be the smallest maximum width of the column's content.
    
    See Also:
    getMaxWidth(), setMaxWidth(double)
  - percentWidth
```
public final DoubleProperty percentWidthProperty
```
    The width percentage of the column. If set to a value greater than 0, the column will be resized to this percentage of the gridpane's available width and the other size constraints (minWidth, prefWidth, maxWidth, hgrow) will be ignored. The default value is -1, which means the percentage will be ignored.
    
    See Also:
    getPercentWidth(), setPercentWidth(double)
  - hgrow
```
public final ObjectProperty<Priority> hgrowProperty
```
    The horizontal grow priority for the column. If set, the gridpane will use this priority to determine whether the column should be given any additional width if the gridpane is resized larger than its preferred width. This property is ignored if percentWidth is set.
    This default value is null, which means that the column's grow priority will be derived from largest grow priority set on a content node.
    
    See Also:
    getHgrow(), setHgrow(Priority)
  - halignment
```
public final ObjectProperty<HPos> halignmentProperty
```
    The horizontal alignment for the column. If set, will be the default horizontal alignment for nodes contained within the column.
    The default value is null, which means the column alignment will fall back to the default halignment set on the gridpane.
    
    See Also:
    getHalignment(), setHalignment(HPos)
  - fillWidth
```
public final BooleanProperty fillWidthProperty
```
    The horizontal fill policy for the column. The gridpane will use this property to determine whether nodes contained within the column should be expanded to fill the column or kept to their preferred widths.
    The default value is true.
