How to grow progress bar horizontally in javafx?

java, javafx-2

Solution

Bind the widths of progress bar and Vbox:

VBox root = new VBox();
root.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_CENTER);
final ProgressBar browser = new ProgressBar();
browser.prefWidthProperty().bind(root.widthProperty().subtract(20));  //  -20 is for 
   // padding from right and left, since we aligned it to TOP_CENTER.
root.getChildren().add(browser);

Problem

I have an application where I have a table and `ProgressBar`. I want to expand my progress bar when user resizes the window. For `TextBox` in JavaFX I can able to set `HBox` priority and achieve it as intended. But for `ProgressBar` it is not working. Can any one tell me where I am doing wrong ? ``` HBox root = new HBox(); final ProgressBar browser = new ProgressBar(); // final WebEngine webEngine = browser.getEngine(); // browser.setText("JJJ"); HBox.setHgrow(browser, Priority.ALWAYS); // webEngine.loadContent("<b>asdf</b>"); root.getChildren().add(browser); scene.setRoot(root); ```
