B4J Tutorial Working with JavaFX Scene Builder

[Erel]

This is an old and irrelevant tutorial.

Nice information Erel. This answers question I thought about earlier (the Id system).
Can you explain the fundamental difference between _Action and _MouseClicked events?
Is _Action the generic event to use when the user clicks the control via a mouse button?

I tried putting a button in an accordion (container) and the event would not fire (both _Action and _MouseClicked).
Am I doing something wrong?

@Jim Brown please start a new thread for this question.

The clicks are probably handled internally by the container.

Jim, did you ever get the answer to your question about _Action?

 

[Erel]

Is _Action the generic event to use when the user clicks the control via a mouse button?

Yes. It can also be raised if the button is focused and the user presses on the Enter button.

Hi all,
Generate Member is not showing al possible Events.

I have TextFields in the Layout and give them a ID.
When I generate Members, I miss some Events possible in the TextField.
I only get Action and TextChange.
Mouseclicked I don't see.
Maybe we miss more events here.

Is there a possibility that I miss something???

I just started using this today and had the same problem.
Then I re-read Erels text
"- Don't confuse the Id under Properties tab (the correct one) with the Id under the Code tab (the wrong one). The code tab should not be used at all."

I removed any text I added to the Code tab and the controls showed up properly when I tried to generate the members.
It may work for you as well

Hi Rob,

I don't use the Code tab .
Only use the ID to set some names.
all the Components are showing up but not all possible events.

Cheers,
Swissmade

The generate members dialog shows all of the exposed events. By design TextField doesn't expose other events.

I will add MouseClicked and FocusChanged (new event) to TextField and TextArea.

Thanks Erel.
Good feature.

Erel:

I am getting this error:

javafx.fxml.LoadException: No controller specified.

when running this code line:

MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("My_Form") 'Load the layout file.

My_Form is the name of the layout.

Any ideas

Jaime

Make sure that there isn't any value the nodes Code page.

I added a Pane and would like to capture the Mouse X,Y position when holding down the left mouse button.

It appears that B4J only captures the last action.

pnlGeo is a Panel.

I've tried:
Sub pnlGeo_MouseMoved (EventData AsMouseEvent)

Do while EventData.PrimaryButtonPressed
Log("Mouse Dwn:" & EventData.X)
Loop
End Sub

But it will not report the EventData.X

Using plnGeo_MousePressed (EventData As MouseEvent) only captures X.

How do I receive the mouse X,Y position while holding down the left mouse button?
Is Panel the correct object?

Thanks in advance.

You should use the MouseDragged event to capture this.
