JavaFX Menu

JavaFX provides a Menu class to implement menus. Menu is the main component of a any application. In JavaFX, javafx.scene.control.Menu class provides all the methods to deal with menus. This class needs to be instantiated to create a Menu.

The following sample of code shows the implementation of JavaFX menu.

  ManuBar menubar = new MenuBar(); //creating MenuBar  Menu MenuName = new Menu(“Menu Name”); //creating Menu  MenuItem MenuItem1 = new MenuItem(“Menu Item 1 Name”); //creating Menu Item   MenuName.getItems().add(MenuItem1); //adding Menu Item to the Menu  menubar.getMenus().add(MenuName); //adding Menu to the MenuBar   

EXAMPLE:

  package application;  import javafx.application.Application;  import javafx.scene.Scene;  import javafx.scene.control.*;  import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;  import javafx.stage.Stage;  public class MenuExample extends Application {  public static void main(String[] args) {  launch(args);      }    @Override  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {  // TODO Auto-generated method stub  BorderPane root = new BorderPane();  Scene scene = new Scene(root,200,300);  MenuBar menubar = new MenuBar();  Menu FileMenu = new Menu(“File”);  MenuItem filemenu1=new MenuItem(“new”);  MenuItem filemenu2=new MenuItem(“Save”);  MenuItem filemenu3=new MenuItem(“Exit”);  Menu EditMenu=new Menu(“Edit”);  MenuItem EditMenu1=new MenuItem(“Cut”);  MenuItem EditMenu2=new MenuItem(“Copy”);  MenuItem EditMenu3=new MenuItem(“Paste”);  EditMenu.getItems().addAll(EditMenu1,EditMenu2,EditMenu3);  root.setTop(menubar);  FileMenu.getItems().addAll(filemenu1,filemenu2,filemenu3);  menubar.getMenus().addAll(FileMenu,EditMenu);  primaryStage.setScene(scene);      primaryStage.show();    }  }
