[FIXED] JavaFX how to clear TextField when mouse is clicked on it

Issue

I have a problem with chosing correct action on TextField. On Java class:

@FXML
private TextField projectNameInput;
    
@FXML
private void clearProjectName(MouseEvent event) {

    // some if - else statements
    projectNameInput.clear();
}

On FXML it looks like this:

<TextField fx:id="projectNameInput" onMouseClicked="#clearProjectName" GridPane.columnIndex="1">

I tried most options, in Java I tried (as arg) Event, MouseEvent, ActionEvent, combined with FXML onAction, etc but no luck. What kind of action should I choose that when I click the mouse button on TextField it will be automatically cleared?

Solution

TextField1.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_TYPED, numeric_Validation(5));
    
AutoControl.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
    
    @Override
    public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
        TextField1.clear();
    }
}
