JavaFX: Separator: Create vertical separator

By setting the orientation to vertical, you can create vertical separators (Horizontal is the default orientation of separator).

Example 1

Separator separator1 = new Separator(Orientation.VERTICAL);

Example 2

Separator separator2 = new Separator();

separator2.setOrientation(Orientation.VERTICAL);

Find the below working application.

demo.css

.separator{
 -fx-border-color: #ff0000;
 -fx-border-width: 2;
}

SeparatorApp.java

package com.sample.demos;

import java.io.File;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Orientation;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.Separator;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class SeparatorApp extends Application {
 private static String cssFilePath = "C:\\Users\\krishna\\Documents\\Study\\javaFX\\demo.css";

 @Override
 public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
  final HBox hBox = new HBox();
  final Font font = new Font("Arial", 20);

  final String[] days = new String[] { "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday",
    "Sunday" };
  final Label[] labels = new Label[days.length];

  for (int i = 0; i < days.length; i++) {
   labels[i] = new Label(days[i]);
   labels[i].setFont(font);
  }

  Separator separator1 = new Separator(Orientation.VERTICAL);
  separator1.getStyleClass().add("separator");
  separator1.setMaxHeight(50);

  Separator separator2 = new Separator();
  separator2.setOrientation(Orientation.VERTICAL);
  separator2.getStyleClass().add("separator");
  separator2.setMaxHeight(50);

  hBox.getChildren().addAll(labels);
  hBox.getChildren().add(3, separator1);
  hBox.getChildren().add(6, separator2);

  hBox.setSpacing(5);

  Scene scene = new Scene(hBox);
  scene.getStylesheets().add(new File(cssFilePath).toURI().toURL().toExternalForm());

  primaryStage.setScene(scene);

  primaryStage.setTitle("Separator widger Example");
  primaryStage.setWidth(900);
  primaryStage.setHeight(500);
  primaryStage.show();
 }

}

TestFX.java

package com.sample.demos;

import javafx.application.Application;

public class TestFX {
 public static void main(String args[]) {
  Application.launch(SeparatorApp.class, args);
 }
}
