How to create a SplitMenuButton in JavaFX?
A menu is a list of options or commands presented to the user, typically menus contain items that perform some action. The contents of a menu are known as menu items and a menu bar holds multiple menus.
A button controls in user interface applications, in general, on clicking the button it performs the respective action.
A SplitMenuButton provides the functionality of both buttons and a Menu. It is divided into two areas − action area and, menu area. On clicking either of these areas it shows the respective functionality.
You can create a split menu button by instantiating the javafx.scene.control.SplitMenuButton class.
Example
The following Example demonstrates the creation of a SplitMenuButton.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.control.SplitMenuButton;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.FontPosture;
import javafx.scene.text.FontWeight;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class SplitMenuButtonExample extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage) {
//Creating an ImageView
ImageView img = new ImageView("UIControls/globe.png");
img.setFitWidth(20);
img.setFitHeight(20);
//Creating a label
Label label = new Label("Select A Language");
Font font = Font.font("verdana", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR, 12);
label.setFont(font);
//Creating a menu
SplitMenuButton menu = new SplitMenuButton();
//Setting text to the SplitMenuButton
menu.setText("Language");
//Setting an image to the button
menu.setGraphic(img);
//Creating menu Items
menu.setMnemonicParsing(true);
MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem("Telugu");
MenuItem item2 = new MenuItem("Hindi");
MenuItem item3 = new MenuItem("English");
MenuItem item4 = new MenuItem("Tamil");
MenuItem item5 = new MenuItem("Malayalam");
//Adding all the menu items to the menu
menu.getItems().addAll(item1, item2, item3, item4, item5);
//Adding the choice box to the scene
HBox layout = new HBox(25);
layout.getChildren().addAll(label, menu);
layout.setPadding(new Insets(15, 50, 50, 130));
layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: BEIGE");
//Setting the stage
Scene scene = new Scene(layout, 595, 200);
stage.setTitle("Split Menu Button");
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String args[]){
launch(args);
}
}Output
