I finished another JavaFX control today, which I urgently needed for my FlexGanttFX control: a master details pane, which allows the user to show / hide a node with detailed information for a so-called “master” node. My use case is a dual Gantt chart control where a primary (master) Gantt chart is initially shown and then a secondary (details) Gantt chart can be added to the window (stage). By using the MasterDetailsPane the user can easily toggle the visibility of the second Gantt chart at the bottom. At the same time each Gantt chart also has a property sheet (ControlsFX) attached to it, which can be made visible on its right side. So I end up with two nested MasterDetailsPane instances. The video below shows the control in action.
