how to get fixed size drop down(irrespective of text size) in java fx via scene builder tool?

Question

I'm using ChoiceBox where there are several drop down items available. Size of the drop down displayed varies depending on the items size. But I want the drop down to be of fixed size irrespective of the size of the items in the drop down. Any ideas on how to implement in Scene builder ?

Answer 1

You could add a CSS stylesheet to set restrictions for the size of the ListView used to display the items.

CSS stylesheet

.combo-box .combo-box-popup .list-view { /* perhaps use a different/additional class for the combobox to be styled this way??? */
    -fx-min-height: 400;
    -fx-max-height: 400;
}
