import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class MenuButtonExample extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
//Creating a menu
MenuButton menu = new MenuButton("Technology");
//Creating menu Items

MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem("Java");
MenuItem item2 = new MenuItem("Python");
MenuItem item3 = new MenuItem("C++");
MenuItem item4 = new MenuItem("Big Data");

//Adding the choice box to the scene
HBox layout = new HBox(25);
layout.getChildren().addAll(menu);
layout.setPadding(new Insets(15, 50, 50, 150));
layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: BEIGE");
