JavaFX - Make ScrollPane scroll automatically

Question

I have a Label inside a ScrollPane. I am updating the label in a loop (In another thread). How can I update the ScrollPane so it scrolls down (not sideways, this will be done manually) if the user doesnt hold it at a position? Is there a setter for it?

Answer 1

To set the ScrollPane to the bottom automatically set the vvalue of the ScrollPane element, like this:

@FXML private ScrollPane scroll; //this must match the fx:id of the ScrollPane element
scroll.setVvalue(1.0);           //1.0 means 100% at the bottom

Answer 2

This works in my code:

scrollPane.vvalueProperty().bind(mainGrid.heightProperty());

in my case scrollPane contains mainGrid
