TableView FXML problems

Question

Hello,
I'm currently trying to learn some FXML and have at least 4 problems with the TableView component:
1) TableView shows some strange behavior after maximizing the window:

and minimizing it afterwards:

When resizing (particularily making the window bigger) the unstyled table is visible too:

I set some some constraints on the columns and I am using the CONSTRAINED_RESIZE_POLICY and here is the FXML:
<TableView fx:id="taskTable" prefHeight="-1.0" prefWidth="-1.0" VBox.vgrow="ALWAYS">
            <placeholder><Label text="" /></placeholder>
            <columnResizePolicy><TableView fx:constant="CONSTRAINED_RESIZE_POLICY" /></columnResizePolicy>
            <columns>
                <TableColumn text="Completed" minWidth="75" prefWidth="75" maxWidth="75" >
                     <cellValueFactory><PropertyValueFactory property="completed" /></cellValueFactory>
                </TableColumn>
                <TableColumn text="Task">
                    <cellValueFactory><PropertyValueFactory property="name" /></cellValueFactory>
                </TableColumn>
                <TableColumn text="Progress" minWidth="100" prefWidth="100" maxWidth="100">
                    <cellValueFactory><PropertyValueFactory property="progress" /></cellValueFactory>
                </TableColumn>
            </columns>
            <items>
                <FXCollections fx:factory="observableArrayList">
                    <Task completed="false" name="Random" progress="0" />
                    <Task completed="false" name="Srandom" progress="3" />
                    <Task completed="true" name="Andom" progress="5" />
                </FXCollections>
            </items>
</TableView>The TableView Control sits in a VBox which sits in the center of a BorderPane.
2) I have found some code to hide the table header:
Pane header = (Pane) table.lookup("TableHeaderRow");
header.setVisible(false);
table.setLayoutY(-header.getHeight());
table.autosize();but I don't know where I can call it. I have a controller for the Main Window and if I use the Initializable interface I obviously get NullPointerException, because the TableView isn't created yet.
3) Is it possible to remove the resize lines / column borders? I tried changing CSS of the column-resize-line substructure of the TableView, but with no success...
4) I haven't found anything reliable on the net: How can I set a Checkbox Cell Factory in the table using FXML? I did it earlier using DataFX cell factories, but only in pure Java.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Answer 1

i solved this problem by creating a CustomTableView which extends from TableView and setting columnResizePolicy="CONSTRAINED_RESIZE_POLICY" in constructor.
