If this bypasses my need to learn C, that would be swell.

Is there any reason why Pane doesn't resize when changing from a smaller View to larger one ?

have you tried anchorpane? that lets you pin the pane to the edges of the container

different components have different resize behavior. hbox and vbox will take up available space horizontally and vertically. anchorpane is pinned to one or more edges, resizing if opposite edges are pinned. borderpane will adapt too

I tried anchorPane

didn't help

But the thing is i don't have a VBox or HBox defined, the height and width

Are defined as follows <Pane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="500.0" minWidth="650.0" prefHeight="500.0" prefWidth="650.0" style="-fx-background-color: #FFFFFF;" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">

And then everything is defined inside the <children>

I have tried both borderPane and AnchorPane doesn't seem to have much effect on the size of the container

@g4sarma Post a complete View which showcases the issue 🙂

The issue is when i change to this view from a previous one whose Pane has a smaller width and height

<Pane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" style="-fx-background-color: #FFFFFF;" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">

The container size is not changing and the view gets cut off

@g4sarma If this happens inside a top level window that's perfectly normal. You can ask the stage to resize by overriding

onDock

in that second weight though. Let me find the code for you

@edvin uploaded a file: Resize stage when a new View is docked

Okay let me give that a try

The window does rezise but the <Pane> still gets cut off and is not adjusting properly

can you go back to anchor pane, hbox, vbox, or borderpane and try this?

AnchorPane doesn't make any difference

BorderPane messes it up

And now the new problem is when i go the next view which is again smaller in size, the window doesn't resize and the layout gets messed up

are you using replaceWith()?
