Issue
I'm new to Java and I'm wondering if it is possible to check if mouse cursor is for example on the button? I mean not getting clicking events but just moving cursor on the button.
I had working code getting click and then printing something, but I want to change it a little and I can't find out why it doesn't work.
public class Main extends Application implements EventHandler<MouseEvent> {
Button button;
Stage window;
Scene scene;
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Where's the button?");
button.setText("Click me!");
button.setOnMouseMoved(this);
StackPane layout = new StackPane();
layout.getChildren().add(button);
Scene scene = new Scene(layout, 300,350);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent actionEvent) {
System.out.println("You clicked the button!");
}
}
Solution
I have made small code for you. Take a look. It prints in the console "Ho-Ho-Ho-Hovereed!" once you hover over your button.
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Hover over me.'");
btn.hoverProperty().addListener((event)->System.out.println("Ho-Ho-Ho-Hovereeed!"));
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Mouse manpulation example in JavaFX!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
