Although I could have specified disabling the menu item or making the menu item invisible with a MenuItemBuilder, I intentionally used ‘set’ methods on the MenuItems in this example to contrast that approach with using the MenuItemBuilder.įor completeness, here is the entire code listing of my example. HelpMenu.getItems().add(new SeparatorMenuItem()) īesides demonstrating MenuItemBuilder, associating a key combination (CTRL-A in this case) with a menu item, and associating an action with a menu item, this code example also demonstrates making a menu item disabled (grayed out) with setDisable(boolean) or making it not appear at all with setVisible(boolean). HelpMenu.getItems().add(onlineManualMenuItem) More Sophisticated MenuItem Instantiation with Keystroke and Event Associationsįinal MenuItem searchMenuItem = new MenuItem('Search') įinal MenuItem onlineManualMenuItem = new MenuItem('Online Manual') In this code listing, there is an example of using MenuItemBuilder to build a much more complex MenuItem that includes association to a key combination and includes an association to an action handler. The next code listing demonstrates instantiation of MenuItem instances that include more than just a text string. There are no event handlers or actions associated with clicking on any of the menu items and there are no ways to select the menu items via keystroke rather than via mouse clicking. The example above is too simplified for realistic uses. Prepare left-most 'File' drop-down menuįileMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem('New')) įileMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem('Open')) įileMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem('Save')) įileMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem('Save As')) įileMenu.getItems().add(new SeparatorMenuItem()) įileMenu.getItems().add(new MenuItem('Exit'))
The next code listing demonstrates instantiation of a Menu, adding of MenuItem instances (or an instance of SeparatorMenuItem) to that Menu instance, and then adding the Menu instance to the instance of MenuBar.Īdding Newly Instantiated Menu and MenuItem Instances to MenuBar Instantiating a Ī MenuBar can contain Menu instances as its children and each Menu instance can have instances of MenuItem as its children. A good starting point for using JavaFX 2.0 menus is to instantiate an instance of MenuBar. I list the entire code listing for this example later in this post, but I first show snippets of the code to make it easier to focus on each piece. In this post, I continue the theme of using pure Java APIs supported by JavaFX 2.0 while demonstrating development of JavaFX 2.0 menus. All of these examples have been compiled with the standard Java compiler and executed with the standard Java launcher. In recent posts on JavaFX, I have focused on using JavaFX 2.0’s new Java APIs without use of the JavaFX 1.x’s JavaFXScript and without use of JavaFX 2.0’s new FXML.
