Unable to Pos.CENTER in BorderPane

    BorderPane root = new BorderPane();

    Button chooseFile = new Button("chooseFile");
    TextField fileLocation = new TextField("C:/");
    Button makeGrid = new Button("Solve");
    HBox fileLoad = new HBox(chooseFile, fileLocation, makeGrid);

    root.setTop(lastfil);
    BorderPane.setAlignment(root, Pos.TOP_CENTER);
    BorderPane.setMargin(root, new Insets(12,12,12,12));
    root.setPrefSize(500, 500);

I'm having some issues centering this, I want the prefSize to be 500 x 500 and have the file loader top center, but it does not do that. It is top but I am unable to get it to the center of the top. Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

BorderPane sets the alignment and Margin for the child node.

BorderPane.setAlignment(Node child, Pos value)

BorderPane.setMargin(Node child, Insets value)

So replace Borderpane 'root' to child node 'fileLoad ' as:

BorderPane.setAlignment(fileLoad, Pos.TOP_CENTER);
BorderPane.setMargin(fileLoad, new Insets(12,12,12,12));

Also set the child HBox alignment like:

fileLoad.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);

Refer Class BorderPane to more info.
