Create wizard in JavaFX

Question

Is there any example how to create wizard in JavaFX?

For example to setup a program or for configuration. Can this be done with simple code or I need to create cust

Answer 1

Here's my solution, using ControlsFX Wizard classes, and FXML, with a non-modal wizard.

WizardView.fxml:

    
        
            
            
                
                    
                
            
        
    
    
        ...
    

NB: Would be better to use a Wizard instead of an Anchor, but this would require LinearFlow being a public type, which is not the case by now (it's an inner class of Wizard in Java 1.8.0_144).

WizardController.java:

public class WizardController {

    @FXML
    private WizardPane step1Pane;
    @FXML
    private WizardPane step2Pane;

    ...

    void show() {

        Wizard wizard = new Wizard();
        wizard.setFlow(new Wizard.LinearFlow(
                step1Pane,
                step2Pane,
                ...
        ));
        wizard.resultProperty().addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) -> {
            wizardStage.close();
        });

        // show wizard and wait for response
        Stage wizardStage = new Stage();
        wizardStage.setTitle("... wizard");
        wizardStage.setScene(wizard.getScene());

        wizardStage.show();
    }
}

Application class:

public class WizardApp extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void init() throws Exception {
        super.init();
        ...
        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
        loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("WizardView.fxml"));
        wizardController = loader.getController();
    }

    @FXML
    private void showWizard(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
        wizardController.show();
    }

}
