In a table view with output from a result set 10 rows, how to make the empty rows disappear?

[msafarulla]

like this I mean

[Marshall]

try tableView.refresh()

[Marshall]

however, it should automatically handle that if your table is bound to observable objects

[msafarulla]

It is a fresh load that looks like the initial screen I posted. It is a dynamically populated table and there is no observable logic anywhere in my script and as I am yet to get in to that territory.

[Marshall]

yeah so looks like this is just the way table view works

[Marshall]

in order to get what you want I think you would have to place a tableview in a scroll pane

[Marshall]

and the size change based on the content

[msafarulla]

will try and get back.

[Marshall]

before you do that, take a look at row factory

[msafarulla]

will do.

I use `ListView`s in a few places. I also get alternating background past the actual rows. I assumed it was a "feature" of JavaFX.

This can be done with CSS, if you take a look on your layout using "Layout Debugger" you will find empty rows added by JavaFX.

[msafarulla]

@Adel Tahri Could you give me more directions please.

@melatonina I will try to enclose the table view within list view and let you know.

[melatonina]

This is the CSS fix for ListView:

listCell {
    and(empty) {
        backgroundColor += Color.TRANSPARENT
        and(odd) {
            backgroundColor += Color.TRANSPARENT
        }
    }
}

[melatonina]

A similar stylesheet will fix the table view.

Thanks @melatonina and @Marshall!!!
