I have a JavaFx application that loads a transparent stage with some text on it.
I want any click on the application to be completely ignored and the background application (if any) to receive that click.
My code at this stage is as follows:
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
final StackPane layout = new StackPane();
final Text mainText = new Text();
layout.getChildren().add(mainText);
mainText.setText("|||||||||||||||||||||||||||");
final Scene mainScene = new Scene(layout);
mainScene.setFill(null);
primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
primaryStage.setScene(mainScene);
primaryStage.show();
layout.setMouseTransparent(true);
mainText.setMouseTransparent(true);
}
I was not able to achieve the requirement. setMouseTransparent() just prevented the text from triggering events, it still captured the mouse clicks.
Is it possible to achieve this in JavaFx ? Even if it is a per-OS solution.
A way of doing this action in Windows is through user32.dll and Java Native Access (JNA). We used GetWindowLong to get the current configuration of the window and SetWindowLong to update the bit field that is controlling the ability of the window be transparent to the mouse.
Following is a working example that demonstrates this functionality:
#Override
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
final StackPane layout = new StackPane();
final Text mainText = new Text();
layout.getChildren().add(mainText);
mainText.setText("|||||||||||||||||||||||||||");
final Scene mainScene = new Scene(layout);
mainScene.setFill(null);
primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
primaryStage.setScene(mainScene);
primaryStage.setTitle(sTitle);
primaryStage.show();
sUser32.EnumWindows(
(hWnd, data) -> {
final byte[] windowText = new byte[512];
sUser32.GetWindowTextA(hWnd, windowText, 512);
final String wText = Native.toString(windowText);
if (!wText.isEmpty() && wText.equals(sTitle)) {
final int initialStyle = com.sun.jna.platform.win32.User32.INSTANCE.GetWindowLong(hWnd, WinUser.GWL_EXSTYLE);
com.sun.jna.platform.win32.User32.INSTANCE.SetWindowLong(hWnd, WinUser.GWL_EXSTYLE, initialStyle | WinUser.WS_EX_TRANSPARENT );
return false;
}
return true;
}, null);
}

In javaFX code, a menu can popup by left click or right click. How to disable right click?
public void start(Stage primaryStage)
{
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
Menu hello = new Menu("hello");
menuBar.getMenus().addAll(hello);
Menu world = new Menu("world");
menuBar.getMenus().addAll(world);
root.setCenter(menuBar);
MenuItem item = new MenuItem("laugh");
hello.getItems().add(item);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
When I right click the "hello" menu, it will popup menuitem "laugh".
The basic approach is to register a eventFilter on the MenuBar that consumes the events that should not be delivered to the children.
Doing so manually in your application code:
public class DisableRightClickOpenMenu extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
menuBar.addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, ev -> {
if (ev.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) {
ev.consume();
}
});
Menu hello = new Menu("hello");
menuBar.getMenus().addAll(hello);
Menu world = new Menu("world");
menuBar.getMenus().addAll(world);
root.setCenter(menuBar);
MenuItem item = new MenuItem("laugh");
hello.getItems().add(item);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
If you want this behaviour across all your applications, you can implement a custom menuBarSkin that registers the filter and install the custom skin via a stylesheet.
The skin:
public class ExMenuBarSkin extends MenuBarSkin {
/**
* Instantiates a skin for the given MenuBar. Registers an
* event filter that consumes right mouse press.
*
* #param menuBar
*/
public ExMenuBarSkin(MenuBar menuBar) {
super(menuBar);
menuBar.addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, ev -> {
if (ev.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) {
ev.consume();
}
});
}
}
In your stylesheet (replace with your fully qualified class name):
.menu-bar {
-fx-skin: "de.swingempire.fx.event.ExMenuBarSkin";
}
Its usage (replace the name with your stylesheet file name):
URL uri = getClass().getResource("contextskin.css");
primaryStage.getScene().getStylesheets().add(uri.toExternalForm());
This is usual behavior of menu in many programs. I don't think you can change it. However, you can use some other controls and simulate menu. (Like HBox and Labels).
I agree as far as I know there's no a standard way to do this, but you may want to consider the following workaround.
It is replacing the Menu node with a Menu object composed by an HBox and a Label: an EventHandler is added to the HBox and by checking the mouse button pressed we add/remove on the fly the MenuItem to its parent.
#Override
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
final MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
final Menu menuHello = new Menu();
final Menu menuWorld = new Menu("world");
final MenuItem menuitem = new MenuItem("laugh");
final HBox hbox = new HBox();
menuBar.getMenus().addAll(menuHello, menuWorld);
root.setCenter(menuBar);
hbox.setPrefWidth(30);
hbox.getChildren().add(new Label("hello"));
menuHello.setGraphic(hbox);
menuHello.getItems().add(menuitem);
hbox.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(final MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY) {
System.out.println("Right click");
menuHello.getItems().remove(menuitem);
} else {
System.out.println("Left click");
if (!menuHello.getItems().contains(menuitem)) {
menuHello.getItems().add(menuitem);
menuHello.show(); // The .show method prevent 'losing' the current click }
}
}
});
final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
This will produce the following result - preview
Note that I've used an HBox just for habit, there's no a particular reason.
While using a workaround like this, my suggestion would be to fill all the Menus with the same 'pattern', such as the HBox + Label combo in my example, and stylize them via css/code (width/height, background/fill/hover... colors etc.) in order to have them as uniform as possible and avoid creating graphic inconsistencies due to have different nodes types in the same menubar.
I've been working on javafx and i want to remove default windows and create a window with my style
It's quite easy to create a window in javafx. To create your own window you need to modify the style of your stage which can be done using initStyle() method.
public class Test extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Scene scene = new Scene(createParent(), Color.TRANSPARENT);
primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
// primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
// primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.DECORATED);
primaryStage.setTitle("My Own Window");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
private Parent createParent() {
Pane rootPane = new Pane();
rootPane.setPrefSize(1000,400);
Button btn = new Button("RandomButton");
btn.setOnAction(e -> Platform.exit());
rootPane.getChildren().add(btn);
return rootPane;
}
}
I have developed a very simplified but fully functional JavaFX web browser for illustrating what I want to ask. Here follows the source code.
public class OpenInNewTab extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage)
{
TabPane tabPane = new TabPane();
WebView webView = new WebView();
Tab tab = new Tab("Home Tab");
tab.setContent(webView);
tabPane.getTabs().add(tab);
webView.getEngine().load("https://www.google.co.in/?gws_rd=ssl#q=javafx");
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
root.setTop(tabPane);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 339);
primaryStage.setTitle("Basic browser");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
launch(args);
} }
This browser loads a web page from this link. I want that when I click on any of the search results, the clicked hyperlink should open in new tab adjacent to the existing "Home tab".
After searching on the internet extensively, I reached nowhere.
Please help me with relevant code. Thanks.
First of all, you need to find a way to handle all outgoing click events on the displayed page. I've made a helper method to achieve that. It creates an event listener for each link, clicking on which will open a new tab.
private void handleUrls(Document doc) {
NodeList links = doc.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (int i = 0; i < links.getLength(); i++) {
EventTarget eventTarget = (EventTarget) links.item(i);
String link = links.item(i).toString();
eventTarget.addEventListener("click", e -> {
WebView webView = new WebView();
alterWebView(webView);
Tab tab = new Tab(link);
tab.setContent(webView);
tab.setClosable(true);
webView.getEngine().load(link);
tabPane.getTabs().add(tab);
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
}
}
You may want to set a better name for your tab... I've used a link as a makeshift solution, but it's long and messy.
webView.getEngine().load(link);
The alterWebView referenced above is another helper function. It's responsible for tracking the loading progress. Once the Worker does nothing, it will add listeners to all urls.
private void alterWebView(WebView webView) {
WebEngine engine = webView.getEngine();
Worker worker = engine.getLoadWorker();
worker.stateProperty().addListener((oldVal, newVal, o) -> {
if (newVal.equals(State.RUNNING)) {
handleUrls(engine.getDocument());
}
});
}
So basically, the logic behind the code above is as follows:
We track our WebEngine's State until the page is fully loaded and then we add event listeners to every url.
These listeners, when invoked, will create a new WebView, handle it accordingly, and add it to the TabPane inside a new Tab.
And here's the complete, working example based on your code:
public class JavaFXTest extends Application {
private TabPane tabPane;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
tabPane = new TabPane();
WebView webView = new WebView();
alterWebView(webView);
Tab tab = new Tab("Home Tab");
tab.setContent(webView);
tab.setClosable(true);
tabPane.getTabs().add(tab);
webView.getEngine().load("https://www.google.co.in/?gws_rd=ssl#q=javafx");
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
root.setTop(tabPane);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 339);
primaryStage.setTitle("Basic browser");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
private void alterWebView(WebView webView) {
WebEngine engine = webView.getEngine();
Worker worker = engine.getLoadWorker();
worker.stateProperty().addListener((oldVal, newVal, o) -> {
if (newVal.equals(State.RUNNING)) {
handleUrls(engine.getDocument());
}
});
}
private void handleUrls(Document doc) {
NodeList links = doc.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (int i = 0; i < links.getLength(); i++) {
EventTarget eventTarget = (EventTarget) links.item(i);
String link = links.item(i).toString();
eventTarget.addEventListener("click", e -> {
WebView webView = new WebView();
alterWebView(webView);
Tab tab = new Tab(link);
tab.setContent(webView);
tab.setClosable(true);
webView.getEngine().load(link);
tabPane.getTabs().add(tab);
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
}
}
}
I created this very simple example for JavaFX alert dialog for JavaFX8u40.
public class MainApp extends Application
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Application.launch(args);
}
private Stage stage;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception
{
Button create = new Button("Create Alert");
create.setTooltip(new Tooltip("Create an Alert Dialog"));
create.setOnAction(e ->
{
createAlert();
});
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(create));
primaryStage.show();
stage = primaryStage;
}
protected Alert createAlert()
{
Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.WARNING);
Image image1 = new Image("http://www.mcaprojecttraining.com/images/java-big-icon.png");
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(image1);
alert.setGraphic(imageView);
alert.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
alert.initOwner(stage);
alert.getDialogPane().setContentText("Some text");
alert.showAndWait()
.filter(response -> response == ButtonType.OK)
.ifPresent(response -> System.out.println("The alert was approved"));
return alert;
}
}
I'm interested how I can set the image on the left side of the dialog.
Did someone manage to change the side of the image?
If you have a look at how the header is constructed, you'll find a GridPane node to layout a Label on the left and a StackPane for the icon.
If you want to reverse the cells order by code, you can do it, but it will be overriden every time updateHeaderArea() is called.
My suggestion is using this public API:
dialogPane.setHeader(Node header);
dialogPane.setGraphic(Node graphic);
providing a header with an icon on the left and a label, and a null graphic.
Using the same approach as DialogPane, we could add another GridPane as header:
protected Alert createAlert(){
Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.WARNING);
alert.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
alert.initOwner(stage);
alert.getDialogPane().setContentText("Some text");
DialogPane dialogPane = alert.getDialogPane();
GridPane grid = new GridPane();
ColumnConstraints graphicColumn = new ColumnConstraints();
graphicColumn.setFillWidth(false);
graphicColumn.setHgrow(Priority.NEVER);
ColumnConstraints textColumn = new ColumnConstraints();
textColumn.setFillWidth(true);
textColumn.setHgrow(Priority.ALWAYS);
grid.getColumnConstraints().setAll(graphicColumn, textColumn);
grid.setPadding(new Insets(5));
Image image1 = new Image("http://www.mcaprojecttraining.com/images/java-big-icon.png");
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(image1);
imageView.setFitWidth(64);
imageView.setFitHeight(64);
StackPane stackPane = new StackPane(imageView);
stackPane.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
grid.add(stackPane, 0, 0);
Label headerLabel = new Label("Warning");
headerLabel.setWrapText(true);
headerLabel.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER_RIGHT);
headerLabel.setMaxWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE);
headerLabel.setMaxHeight(Double.MAX_VALUE);
grid.add(headerLabel, 1, 0);
dialogPane.setHeader(grid);
dialogPane.setGraphic(null);
alert.showAndWait()
.filter(response -> response == ButtonType.OK)
.ifPresent(response -> System.out.println("The alert was approved"));
return alert;
}
And this is what you will see:
I can't figure out how to create a modal window in JavaFX. Basically I have file chooser and I want to ask the user a question when they select a file. I need this information in order to parse the file, so the execution needs to wait for the answer.
I've seen this question but I've not been able to find out how to implement this behavior.
In my opinion this is not good solution, because parent window is all time active.
For example if You want open window as modal after click button...
private void clickShow(ActionEvent event) {
Stage stage = new Stage();
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(
YourClassController.class.getResource("YourClass.fxml"));
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.setTitle("My modal window");
stage.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);
stage.initOwner(
((Node)event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow() );
stage.show();
}
Now Your new window is REALY modal - parent is block.
also You can use
Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL
Here is link to a solution I created earlier for modal dialogs in JavaFX 2.1
The solution creates a modal stage on top of the current stage and takes action on the dialog results via event handlers for the dialog controls.
JavaFX 8+
The prior linked solution uses a dated event handler approach to take action after a dialog was dismissed. That approach was valid for pre-JavaFX 2.2 implementations. For JavaFX 8+ there is no need for event handers, instead, use the new Stage showAndWait() method. For example:
Stage dialog = new Stage();
// populate dialog with controls.
...
dialog.initOwner(parentStage);
dialog.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
dialog.showAndWait();
// process result of dialog operation.
...
Note that, in order for things to work as expected, it is important to initialize the owner of the Stage and to initialize the modality of the Stage to either WINDOW_MODAL or APPLICATION_MODAL.
There are some high quality standard UI dialogs in JavaFX 8 and ControlsFX, if they fit your requirements, I advise using those rather than developing your own. Those in-built JavaFX Dialog and Alert classes also have initOwner and initModality and showAndWait methods, so that you can set the modality for them as you wish (note that, by default, the in-built dialogs are application modal).
You can create application like my sample. This is only single file JavaFX application.
public class JavaFXApplication1 extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

final SwingNode swingNode = new SwingNode();
createSwingContent(swingNode);
StackPane pane = new StackPane();
pane.getChildren().add(swingNode);
stage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
stage.setTitle("Swing in JavaFX");
stage.setScene(new Scene(pane, 250, 150));
stage.show();
}
});
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
private void createSwingContent(final SwingNode swingNode) {

jrquery.setText(query);
jasperDesign.setQuery(jrquery);
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);
JasperPrint JasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, null, c);
//JRViewer viewer = new JRViewer(JasperPrint);
swingNode.setContent(new JRViewer(JasperPrint));
} catch (JRException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(AccountTypeController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
