Creating a Gridpane

[s22380]

Hi first post here.

I'm stuck with this problem for some days: I have done a code sample of what I need but I get invisible Grid Lines. Not sure why they are not shown. I've tried different settings and also with adding pane and experimenting with SetVisible(true) but no luck, here is the code:

Integer rr_status_row_index; 
    Integer iff_bit_row_index; 
    Integer iff_status_row_index; 
 
//Method to draw the Grid Panel when action in Menu Overview 
    @FXML
    private void menuOverview(ActionEvent event) { 
      Integer i = 0;  
    // CLear previously created Grid Panel 
      grid.getChildren().clear(); 
       
      grid.setGridLinesVisible(true); 
       
      //Check if CAR Menu item is enabled or disabled in Vehicles 
      if (CAR_Status.isSelected()) { 
      //draw row in Grid Panel 
            String colorname = "Red"; 
            //Status of messages into an array 
            String[] ArrayColor = new String[11]; 
            ArrayColor[0] = "Red"; 
            ArrayColor[1] = "Green"; 
            ArrayColor[2] = "Yellow"; 
            ArrayColor[3] = "Yellow"; 
            ArrayColor[4] = "Yellow"; 
            ArrayColor[5] = "Yellow"; 
         
            for(int count=0; count<11; count++){ 
              Label txt = new Label("  ");  
              grid.add(txt,count,i); 
 
              if (count ==3) { 
                txt.setStyle("-fx-background-color: black;"); 
              }    
              if (count ==5) { 
                txt.setStyle("-fx-background-color: blue;"); 
              }  
               
            } 
            rr_status_row_index=i; 
            i++; 
            //END draw row for CAR_Status 
        grid.setGridLinesVisible(true);    
      }    
       
      if (IFF_Status.isSelected()) { 
           
            //draw row in Grid Panel 
            grid.addRow(i, new Label("TRUCK_Status")); 
            System.out.println(i); 
            iff_status_row_index=i; 
            i++; 
            grid.addRow(i, new Label("TRUCK_BIT")); 
            iff_bit_row_index=i; 
            i++; 
            //END draw row in Grid Panel 
      } 
       
      //Draw the fixed row in Grid Panel 
      grid.addRow(i, new Label("I am fixed!")); 
      grid.setGridLinesVisible(true); 
    }

So grid.setGridLinesVisible(true); is set in 3 diff places in the event handler, but no result. What is wrong?
I also tried to test with SetVisible(true) and actually the Grid lines were shown but the Grid layout was not working. My thoughts are: Is it a layer problem that the grids are not shown.

Thanks for your help!

I don't see anything advanced about this. But it doesn't matter since it should be under the JavaFX subforum.

Where is the first part of the code that contains your Jpanel object and how the CAR_Status is defined?
