Equivalent of setResizeWeight() on SplitPane in JavaFX?

Question

In Swing, we could use setResizeWeight() on JSplitPane to determine what portion of the SplitPane received the available space. Is there an equivalent method in JavaFX 2.2? I can only find the setDividerPosition() method which doesn't really do what I want (granted I could call it manually each time the size changes, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.)

I could also call setResizableWithParent(false), but again that doesn't really provide the sort of control I'm after.

While going through the API for SplitPane, I found this static function - setResizableWithParent(root, Boolean.FALSE) which provides similar functionality as setResizeWeight() in JSplitPane.

    SplitPane sp = new SplitPane();
    final StackPane sp1 = new StackPane();
    sp1.getChildren().add(new Button("Button One"));
    final StackPane sp2 = new StackPane();
    sp2.getChildren().add(new Button("Button Two"));
    final StackPane sp3 = new StackPane();
    sp3.getChildren().add(new Button("Button Three"));
    sp.getItems().addAll(sp1, sp2, sp3);
    sp.setDividerPositions(0.3f, 0.6f, 0.9f);

    SplitPane.setResizableWithParent(sp1, Boolean.FALSE);

    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(sp, 300, 200));
    primaryStage.setTitle("Welcome to JavaFX!"); 
    primaryStage.sizeToScene(); 
    primaryStage.show();

setResizableWithParent can mimic the values of setResizeWeight(0) and setResizeWeight(1) but absolutely nothing in between. Basically, the node can either be free-flowing or fixed.

Thanks for the answer - but yup, I'm after something with a resize weight of something in between! That's where my difficulty lies it seems... – Michael Berry Oct 11 '12 at 21:37
`primaryStage.titleProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty().asString().concat(":").concat(sc.heightProperty().asString())); DoubleBinding wid=scene.widthProperty().add(0);` Tried binding this with `sp1.widthProperty()` but there is no such function in the API. – Avik Oct 12 '12 at 13:08
Thanks for this answer, it helped me and yes, a setResizeWeight would be great. – Burkhard Mar 06 '14 at 09:00
