4. Basic Controls
For any Pane , you can call its button() extension function to add a Button to it. You can
optionally pass a text argument and a Button.() -> Unit lambda to modify its properties.
This will add a Button with red text and print "Button pressed!" every time it is clicked
(Figure 4.2)
button("Press Me") {
textFill = Color.RED
action {
println("Button pressed!")
}
}

Label
You can call the label() extension function to add a Label to a given Pane . Optionally
you can provide a text (of type String or Property ), a graphic (of type Node or
ObjectProperty ) and a Label.() -> Unit lambda to modify its properties (Figure
4.3).
label("Lorem ipsum") {
}
textFill = Color.BLUE
