I know I can set a color by using the pressed pseudo selector:
myButton:pressed{}
Problem is, im trying to do this in code by overriding the css background color from my stylesheet by doing:
myButton.setStyle("fx-background-color: #FFF");
The latter fails do change the color though. Could it be that once ive set my stylesheet that I cant override it? How can I change the button color on click?
I had to do a similar thing(here is simplified, there is just the part of code which change the style to the button) and i did this, i hope it will be helpful to you
button.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
button.getStyleClass().removeAll("addBobOk, focus");
//In this way you're sure you have no styles applied to your object button
button.getStyleClass().add("addBobOk");
//then you specify the class you would give to the button
});
CSS:
.addBobOk{
-fx-background-color:#90EE90;
-fx-background-radius: 5,5,4;
-fx-background-insets: 0 0 -1 0,0,1;
-fx-effect: dropshadow( three-pass-box , rgba(0,0,0,0.4) , 5, 0.0 , 0 , 1 );
-fx-text-alignment: center;
}
.addBobOk:hover{
-fx-background-color:#64EE64;
-fx-effect: dropshadow( three-pass-box , rgba(0,0,0,0.4) , 5, 0.0 , 0 , 1 );
-fx-text-alignment: center;
}
.busy{
-fx-background-color:#B3B3B3;
-fx-text-alignment: center;
}
.busy:hover{
-fx-background-color:cdcbcb;
-fx-text-alignment: center;
}
