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();
		
	}	
}
