I am very new to JavaFX. As I am a swing developer, I am facing some problems with JavaFX. In swing I create a main window with JFrame. On the top I add a Menubar. When a menu item is clicked, a JInternalFrame is opened below the Menubar in a JDesktopPane. I've found this way very useful, because I can open any JInternalFrame from menubar as well as from the JInternalFrame itself. The JInternalFrame remains open until user closes them. When user presses escape button he can go back to the previously opened frame.
I've found some libraries that switch scenes. But I cannot find an equivalent way in JavaFX. Can anyone help me to achieve this ?

I am developing one Desktop Application Using Swing. In my application, I design
menu frame, whenever I click one menu_item respective page will load, suppose again I click same menu_item then one more same frame is opened.
But I need only one frame, if already exist then I will show one pop_up dialog to display "Already opened" or to show the frame in front of all opened frame. How can solve this?
Is it possible to listen for a mouse click on the icon shown in the taskbar (not System Tray)? My problem is that I am using an undecorated window for my GUI, and that causes me to lose the ability to minimize the application by clicking on the taskbar icon. Currently I minimize the application via a button I have added to the scene. Thanks for the help.
I have added a JPopupMenu with certain JMenuItems to a JTable in my java application.
I then set accelerators for those JMenuitems.
Now my problem is that when I try to use those hotkeys, they don't work until I open that JPopupMenu.
When that popup menu is open at that time, the hotkey works properly which is really useless. Please help me.
The accelerator bindings only work on components added to the GUI. A popup menu is not added to the GUI until the popup has been invoked.
You can try:
Add you popup menu to the menuBar of your frame. Then the accelerator will be recognized
Manually add the KeyBindings for each accelerator in you popup menu. Read the Swing tutorial on How to Use Key Bindings for more information.
I have a Java Swing application running on OSX that uses Quaqua. All the TextFields and TextAreas have a popup menu on right click. This must be done by Quaqua as it is not standard in Swing.
My question is:
How do I set my own Actions on the popup menu?
Please Note. This is a question about Quaqua popup menus NOT any Swing popup menu. If you are not familiar about Quaqua then please don't answer.
A pop-up menu is the same as a regular menu. The Swing tutorial about menus covers how to use them, how to insert entries, ... . Reading that tutorial should get you started
The popup menu set by Quaqua can be removed by setting a client property:
myTextField.putClientProperty("Quaqua.TextComponent.showPopup", Boolean.FALSE);
You can then add your own MouseListener to handle creating your own pop up menu.
I haven't figured out, however, to make this change global, and so I have to set the client property on each of my text fields individually, which is a bit of a pain.
