Enum Priority

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Priority>


    public enum Priority
    extends Enum<Priority>
    Enumeration used to determine the grow (or shrink) priority of a given node's layout area when its region has more (or less) space available and multiple nodes are competing for that space.
    Since:
    JavaFX 2.0
    • Enum Constant Summary

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      ALWAYS
      Layout area will always try to grow (or shrink), sharing the increase (or decrease) in space with other layout areas that have a grow (or shrink) of ALWAYS.
      NEVER
      Layout area will never grow (or shrink) when there is an increase (or decrease) in space available in the region.
      SOMETIMES
      If there are no other layout areas with grow (or shrink) set to ALWAYS or those layout areas didn't absorb all of the increased (or decreased) space, then will share the increase (or decrease) in space with other layout area's of SOMETIMES.

      • ALWAYS

        public static final Priority ALWAYS
        Layout area will always try to grow (or shrink), sharing the increase (or decrease) in space with other layout areas that have a grow (or shrink) of ALWAYS.
      • SOMETIMES

        public static final Priority SOMETIMES
        If there are no other layout areas with grow (or shrink) set to ALWAYS or those layout areas didn't absorb all of the increased (or decreased) space, then will share the increase (or decrease) in space with other layout area's of SOMETIMES.
      • NEVER

        public static final Priority NEVER
        Layout area will never grow (or shrink) when there is an increase (or decrease) in space available in the region.
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static Priority[] values​()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (Priority c : Priority.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Priority valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • max

        public static Priority max​(Priority a,
                                   Priority b)
        Convenience method for returning the higher of two priorities.
        Parameters:
        a - first priority
        b - second priority
        Returns:
        the highest of the two priorities
      • min

        public static Priority min​(Priority a,
                                   Priority b)
        Convenience method for returning the lower of two priorities.
        Parameters:
        a - first priority
        b - second priority
        Returns:
        the lower of the two priorities
