JavaFX 2: Create Nice Login Form

5:32 PM    14 comments

In this JavaFX tutorial I will design a nice looking Login Form with JavaFX 2 and CSS. It's clasic login form with username and password, and login button. In order to follow this tutorial I strongly recommend you to check these tutorials below:
-->
Username: JavaFX2
Password: password

You can enter this information above and click on Login button. It will tell you with a little message that login is successful, but if you enter wrong information, it will tell you with a little message that login isn't successful.

The final output screenshot of this tutorial will be like below image.

In order to style this application properly you'll need to create login.css file in /src folder of your project.

  7. Hi,

    In the current version of JavaFX2 (2.1) loading the css with the getClass() does not work. If you replace it by the actual name of the class it does.

    So loading the login.css works if you code it like this:

    scene.getStylesheets().add(Login.getClassLoader().getResource("login.css").toExternalForm());

  9. When I try to call a program written in java using java 7 U 5 which initiates jFileChooser, the login program hangs. I've tried to debug it, seems like a I might have hit a dead end.

    if(sa.SearchByName(checkUser,checkPw,checkSk)){
    //lblMessage.setText("Congratulations!");
    //lblMessage.setTextFill(Color.GREEN);
    //lblMessage1.setText("Please Proceed.");
    //lblMessage1.setTextFill(Color.GREEN);
    System.out.println("Confirmed");
    proceed = true;
    if(proceed == true){
    System.out.println("I am in finally block");
    FileGUI fg = new FileGUI();

    try {
    fg.Callmain();
    System.out.println("Success");
    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    }System.exit(0);
    }
