JavaFX 2.0 activates menus, such as MenuItem

I'm making a menubar, and I can't press the menu function: "file" and perform an action It's like opening another fxml or writing some output examples

I want a function of MenuItem (in "about"), such as "file" menu

Solution

AFAIK, a menu, if there are no added submenus or MenuItems, the event will not be triggered on clicking, displaying or hiding However, the solution is to set up its graph, where the graph node will handle mouse clicks, for example,

Label menuLabel = new Label("File");
menuLabel.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
    @Override
    public void handle(MouseEvent event) {

        Stage myDialog = new Stage();
        myDialog.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);

        Scene myDialogScene = new Scene(V@R_480_2419@Builder.create()
            .children(new Text("Hello! it's My Dialog."))
            .alignment(Pos.CENTER)
            .padding(new Insets(10))
            .build());

        myDialog.setScene(myDialogScene);
        myDialog.show();
    }
});
Menu fileMenuButton = new Menu();
fileMenuButton.setGraphic(menuLabel);
menuBar.getMenus().add(fileMenuButton);

One disadvantage of this method is that the label does not cover all the spaces in the menu, so clicking on the edge of the menu will not trigger a mouse event By uncommenting menulabel Setstyle line, see this However, this can be solved by using what I think are CSS styles The code part is taken from create dialog using stage You can also use fxmlloader to load fxml files into the mydialog phase There are many examples on the Internet
