Menu help = new Menu ( "Help" ) MenuItem visitWebsite = new MenuItem ( "Visit Website" ) add (properties ) //Create and add the "Help" sub-menu options. Menu edit = new Menu ( "Edit" ) MenuItem properties = new MenuItem ( "Properties" ) Įdit. addAll (openFile,exitApp ) //Create and add the "Edit" sub-menu options. Menu file = new Menu ( "File" ) MenuItem openFile = new MenuItem ( "Open File" ) MenuItem exitApp = new MenuItem ( "Exit" ) įile. Create and add the "File" sub-menu options. Looking at our design, the first thing we’re going to want to create is a VBox to hold our MenuBar and ToolBar Objects. Please see the picture bellow for an example of how we’re going to structure our Menus hierarchy in this tutorial. If you do not plan your menu design then you may neglect efficient ways to structure your Menu and it may end up unmaintainable/messy (this is especially true when you extend this tutorial for more complex menus).
I cannot emphasise the importance of planning and getting the hierarchy of your menu layout correct.
JAVAFX RECENT MENU HOW TO
I am assuming people reading this article have a basic knowledge of how to set-up a Stage and BorderPane in JavaFX, if not then please see here, the top BorderPane is what we’ll be adding our MenuBar and ToolBar to. However by the end of this tutorial we will have a JavaFX equivalent. In this tutorial, I will be demonstrating how to produce a stacked Menu with File, Edit and Help options with a ToolBar sitting underneath, bellow is an example of the stacked menu in Swing. Previously, I wrote a tutorial on Creating a Glowing Border Effect in JavaFX which can be applied to any Node. However, we are now in the process of developing a JavaFX PDF Viewer , this involves mimicking our Swing PDF Viewer and producing the same Graphical Interface but with JavaFX 2.2 instead. Tutorial : How to Create Stacked Menus in JavaFXĪt IDRSolutions, our PDF Viewer (part of our JPedal Library) currently uses Java Swing to create the PDF Viewer interface.
