I have a custom ListCell in which I have methods to move the position of the cell to the right or left, but I want a button to be shown similar to deleting a Conversation in Messages on iPhone.

If I add a new ImageView, which will act as the Button, then set it to the right position, and of course set the Graphic of the Cell, then it would just appear on the right side visible even without sliding it.

How would I add the ImageView underneath the Cell and when I slide and adjust the position of the Cell, reveal the Button?

Maybe... use a panel with the cell contents and the button, then animate it to slide left or right to reveal or hide the button?

Like a stackpane?

Here's my current code. How could I manipulate it to accomplish that?
