I have a method that sets the width and height of the treeview to its parent's width and height, for some reason this isn't working. I had it working with a listview, but I decided a treeview would work best in my case.

Ill supply the full FXML, and it's controller, as well as the start method.

Start

    private Stage primaryStage;
    private VBox rootLayout;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage)
    {
        this.primaryStage = primaryStage;
        primaryStage.setTitle("PokeBase - Pokemon Database Application");

        //System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.class.path"));

        try
        {
            // Load the root layout from the fxml file
            FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(PokeBase.class.getResource("/com/geodox/pokebase/main/PokeBaseGUI.fxml"));
            loader.setController(new PokeBaseGUIController());
            final PokeBaseGUIController controller = (PokeBaseGUIController) loader.getController();
            rootLayout = (VBox) loader.load();
            Scene scene = new Scene(rootLayout);

            //Broken, will re-enable when fixed, change resizable to true
            /*scene.heightProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
                @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observableValue, Number oldSceneHeight, Number newSceneHeight) {
                    controller.setListViewSize();
                }
            });
            scene.widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
                @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observableValue, Number oldSceneWidth, Number newSceneWidth) {
                    controller.setListViewSize();
                }
            });*/

            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.setResizable(false);
            primaryStage.show();

            controller.initSetFocus();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            // Exception gets thrown if the fxml file could not be loaded
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Any help would be appreciated.

The TreeView isn't even showing anymore.
