JavaFX Form Validation

[Daniel Zwolenski]

Would it be possible to attach our own arbitrary pseudo classes to controls via code?

Eg. Button.setPseudoClass("highlighted")

That would then cover the error case and much more. Eg I might have 'error', 'warning', 'required', 'highlighted', etc. 

I do not know if the CSS engine will be able to handle this.
