How do we define the context menu in FXML?

While I could define the ContextMenu without the FXML, I do not find a good way to define the context menu in FXML:

In source file:

ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();

contextMenu.getItems().addAll(someMenuItems);

// This runs perfectly

In FXML:

<ContextMenu fx:id="contextMenu">

</ContextMenu>

// This is incorrect in fxml. The Exception of "Unable to coerce javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu to class javafx.scene.Node" is thrown.



<MenuBar fx:id="menuBar">

    //... Some Menu and items could be defined here

</MenuBar>

// This is correct in fxml

I understand that MenuBar works because it extends javafx.scene.control.Control that is a subclass of javafx.scene.Node but ContextMenu does not.

So is there any way to define properties of ContextMenu similarly in FXML?

I know some people prefer coding FXML manually to using Scene Builder, but if don't know how to do certain things manually then just use Scene Builder for that part and then see how the FXML is generated.

Try to define it in the corresponding Node context (no pun intended :) through the contextMenu property:

<TextField fx:id="tf">

    <contextMenu>

        <ContextMenu fx:id="cmTF">

            <items>

                <MenuItem text="Add"/>

                <MenuItem text="Remove"/>

                <MenuItem text="Enhance"/>

            </items>

        </ContextMenu>

    </contextMenu>

</TextField>

Thanks! I don't notice that contextMenu is in fact a property inside the Node!

Try this

<BorderPane fx:id="borderPane" fx:controller="sample.Controller" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">

    <fx:define>

        <ContextMenu fx:id="contextMenu">

            <items>

                <MenuItem text="Menu Item"/>

            </items>

        </ContextMenu>

    </fx:define>

</BorderPane>

public class Controller {



    @FXML

    private ContextMenu contextMenu;



    @FXML

    private BorderPane borderPane;



    @FXML

    private void initialize() {

        borderPane.setOnContextMenuRequested(event -> {

            contextMenu.show(borderPane, event.getScreenX(), event.getScreenY());

        });

    }

}
