How to set scrollbar of scrollpane for label

Question

I have guidance text in my app, which I put it in the label and is child of scrollpane. But the text is too long and I cannot by the scroll bar to get all text in the label. Any idea how to set the measure of scrollbar of scrollpane to get whole text in the label. I have used JavaFX Scene Builder.

It's hard to say without seeing some code, but most likely you need to set the max width (and possibly height) of the label. You might also consider using a text field or text area with `setEditable(false)` instead of a label. — James_D, Oct 03 '14 at 18:36

I think this is for sample code in text wrapping using scroll pane.Just refer this.

package comboboxeditable;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollPane;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class TextWrapping extends Application {

    Node sub;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        ScrollPane root = new ScrollPane();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        Text text = new Text("The look and feel of JavaFX applications "
                + "can be customized. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) separate "
                + "appearance and style from implementation so that developers can "
                + "concentrate on coding. Graphic designers can easily "
                + "customize the appearance and style of the application "
                + "through the CSS. If you have a web design background,"
                + " or if you would like to separate the user interface (UI) "
                + "and the back-end logic, then you can develop the presentation"
                + " aspects of the UI in the FXML scripting language and use Java "
                + "code for the application logic. If you prefer to design UIs "
                + "without writing code, then use JavaFX Scene Builder. As you design the UI, "
                + "Scene Builder creates FXML markup that can be ported to an Integrated Development "
                + "Environment (IDE) so that developers can add the business logic.");
        text.wrappingWidthProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty());
        root.setFitToWidth(true);
        root.setContent(text);
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

}
