Hi all,

Thanks

I believe you can do it with BBTextEngine, in the text you can include a button in the text

[B4X] BCTextEngine / BBCodeView - Text engine + BBCode parser + Rich Text View

Be open minded. This is a cross platform library with several features: - Text drawing engine. - Text layout engine. - BBCode parser. - Two custom views that connect everything: BBCodeView - multiline, scrollable with support for embedded views. BBLabel - lightweight label. - NEW...

I´m not sure if a B4J Button is äquivalent to a JButton.

I don't know if I understand correctly. But it looks like several custom views of TextView editable with confirmation button.
If I understand correctly you can find several in the forum but it would be easy to create it as a custom view. (see here)

But I'm not sure that's what you're looking for

The solutions in the link are just adding a textfield and a button to a pane and adjusting the positions. albeit not in javafx. So a customview would make that straightforward.

A quick and dirty example. Using the extracss to change the textfields right inset, and delegating some of the callbacks.

It may look better with a label instead of a button.

With all these complexities, why can't you place the text field and button in a pane?

That's exactly the solution, how it is implemented depends how you want it to look. Moving it inside or over the textfield makes it look like one control.
