JavaFX 2 : TableView : remove header + show grid when empty

Question

I have 2 questions about the TableView in Javafx2:

1) Is it possible to hide the headers in your table?

2) When the table is empty it just shows a white pane saying "No content in table.". Is it possible to change this to display the default grid, even when the table is empty?

If possible, Id like a solution with CSS (javacode is also fine).

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Answer to the first question is here. Note that you may hide the headers only after the table is rendered.

Answering your second question you may use following approach:

table.setPlaceholder(new Label("Placeholder"));

Instead of label you may add any Node.
