Class Window

java.lang.Object
javafx.stage.Window
All Implemented Interfaces:
EventTarget
Direct Known Subclasses:
PopupWindow, Stage
public class Window extends Object implements EventTarget
A top level window within which a scene is hosted, and with which the user interacts. A Window might be a Stage, PopupWindow, or other such top level window.

Window objects must be constructed and modified on the JavaFX Application Thread.

The JavaFX Application Thread is created as part of the startup process for the JavaFX runtime. See the Application class and the Platform.startup(Runnable) method for more information.

Some Window properties are read-only, even though they have corresponding set methods, because they can be changed externally by the underlying platform, and therefore must not be bindable. Further, these properties might be ignored on some platforms, depending on whether or not there is a window manager and how it is configured. For example, a tiling window manager might ignore the x and y properties, or treat them as hints, placing the window in a location of its choosing.

  • Property Details

    • outputScaleX

      public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty outputScaleXProperty
      The scale that the Window will apply to horizontal scene coordinates in all stages of rendering and compositing the output to the screen or other destination device. This property is updated asynchronously by the system at various times including:
      • Window creation
      • At some point during moving a window to a new Screen which may be before or after the Screen property is updated.
      • In response to a change in user preferences for output scaling.
      Since:
      9
      See Also:

    • outputScaleY

      public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty outputScaleYProperty
      The scale that the Window will apply to vertical scene coordinates in all stages of rendering and compositing the output to the screen or other destination device. This property is updated asynchronously by the system at various times including:
      • Window creation
      • At some point during moving a window to a new Screen which may be before or after the Screen property is updated.
      • In response to a change in user preferences for output scaling.
      Since:
      9
      See Also:

    • forceIntegerRenderScale

      public final BooleanProperty forceIntegerRenderScaleProperty
      Boolean property that controls whether only integer render scales are set by default by the system when there is a change in the associated output scale. The renderScale properties will be updated directly and simultaneously with any changes in the associated outputScale properties, but the values can be overridden by subsequent calls to the setRenderScale setters or through appropriate use of binding. This property will not prevent setting non-integer scales directly using the renderScale property object or the convenience setter method.
      Default value:
      false
      Since:
      9
      See Also:

    • renderScaleX

      public final DoubleProperty renderScaleXProperty
      The horizontal scale that the Window will use when rendering its Scene to the rendering buffer. This property is automatically updated whenever there is a change in the outputScaleX property and can be overridden either by calling setRenderScaleX() in response to a listener on the outputScaleX property or by binding it appropriately.
      Default value:
      outputScaleX
      Since:
      9
      See Also:

    • renderScaleY

      public final DoubleProperty renderScaleYProperty
      The vertical scale that the Window will use when rendering its Scene to the rendering buffer. This property is automatically updated whenever there is a change in the outputScaleY property and can be overridden either by calling setRenderScaleY() in response to a listener on the outputScaleY property or by binding it appropriately.
      Default value:
      outputScaleY
      Since:
      9
      See Also:

    • x

      public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty xProperty
      The horizontal location of this Window on the screen. Changing this attribute will move the Window horizontally. If this Window is an instance of Stage, changing this attribute will not visually affect the Window while fullScreen is true, but will be honored by the Window once fullScreen becomes false.

      This property is read-only because it can be changed externally by the underlying platform. Further, setting this property might be ignored on some platforms.

      See Also:

    • y

      public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty yProperty
      The vertical location of this Window on the screen. Changing this attribute will move the Window vertically. If this Window is an instance of Stage, changing this attribute will not visually affect the Window while fullScreen is true, but will be honored by the Window once fullScreen becomes false.

      This property is read-only because it can be changed externally by the underlying platform. Further, setting this property might be ignored on some platforms.

      See Also:

    • width

      public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty widthProperty
      The width of this Window. Changing this attribute will narrow or widen the width of the Window. This value includes any and all decorations which may be added by the Operating System such as resizable frame handles. Typical applications will set the Scene width instead. This Window will take its width from the scene if it has never been set by the application. Resizing the window by end user does not count as a setting the width by the application. If this Window is an instance of Stage, changing this attribute will not visually affect the Window while fullScreen is true, but will be honored by the Window once fullScreen becomes false.

      This property is read-only because it can be changed externally by the underlying platform. Further, setting this property might be ignored on some platforms.

      See Also:

    • height

      public final ReadOnlyDoubleProperty heightProperty
      The height of this Window. Changing this attribute will shrink or heighten the height of the Window. This value includes any and all decorations which may be added by the Operating System such as the title bar. Typical applications will set the Scene height instead. This window will take its height from the scene if it has never been set by the application. Resizing this window by end user does not count as a setting the height by the application. If this Window is an instance of Stage, changing this attribute will not visually affect the Window while fullScreen is true, but will be honored by the Window once fullScreen becomes false.

      This property is read-only because it can be changed externally by the underlying platform. Further, setting this property might be ignored on some platforms.

      See Also:

    • focused

      public final ReadOnlyBooleanProperty focusedProperty
      Whether or not this Window has the keyboard or input focus.
      See Also:

    • scene

      public final ReadOnlyObjectProperty<Scene> sceneProperty
      The Scene to be rendered on this Window. There can only be one Scene on the Window at a time, and a Scene can only be on one Window at a time. Setting a Scene on a different Window will cause the old Window to lose the reference before the new one gains it. You may swap Scenes on a Window at any time, even if it is an instance of Stage and with fullScreen set to true.

      If the width or height of this Window have never been set by the application, setting the scene will cause this Window to take its width or height from that scene. Resizing this Window by end user does not count as setting the width or height by the application.

      An IllegalStateException is thrown if this property is set on a thread other than the JavaFX Application Thread.

      Default value:
      null
      See Also:

    • opacity

      public final DoubleProperty opacityProperty
      Defines the opacity of the Window as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. The opacity is reflected across the Window, its Decoration and its Scene content. On a JavaFX runtime platform that does not support opacity, assigning a value to this variable will have no visible difference. A Window with 0% opacity is fully translucent. Typically, a Window with 0% opacity will not receive any mouse events.
      Default value:
      1.0
      See Also:

    • onCloseRequest

      public final ObjectProperty<EventHandler<WindowEvent>> onCloseRequestProperty

      See Also:

    • showing

      public final ReadOnlyBooleanProperty showingProperty
      Whether or not this Window is showing (that is, open on the user's system). The Window might be "showing", yet the user might not be able to see it due to the Window being rendered behind another Window or due to the Window being positioned off the monitor.
      Default value:
      false
      See Also:

    • eventDispatcher

      public final ObjectProperty<EventDispatcher> eventDispatcherProperty
      Specifies the event dispatcher for this node. The default event dispatcher sends the received events to the registered event handlers and filters.
