How to use the JavaFX ContextMenu

To create a ContextMenu, we need to use the default constructor of the ContextMenu class to create an empty pop-up menu. Creating an object of ContextMenu is very easy, and it is the same as creating an object of other classes. The following example of code below will show you how to create an object of ContextMenu in JavaFX.

// Create a JavaFX ContextMenu
ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();

Now, we created an empty ContextMenu and the next step we need to do is to add items to the JavaFX ContextMenu. These items are the JavaFX MenuItems, I assume you already know how to create a menu item in JavaFX.

Add items to the ContextMenu

Adding items to the JavaFX ContextMenu is very easy. In this example, let’s assume that we already created our Menu items for our ContextMenu. We need to use the getItems() and addAll() methods since we need to add multiple menu items. The following example code will show you how to add items to the ContextMenu in JavaFX.

// Create a JavaFX ContextMenu
ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
contextMenu.getItems().addAll(item1, item2, item3);

You can also add initial items to the ContextMenu by using its other constructor. By doing that, please see the example code below to learn more.

// Create a JavaFX ContextMenu
ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu(item1, item2, item3);

By adding an item to the ContextMenu, make sure you have already created the JavaFX MenuItems.

Display the ContextMenu

Showing the ContextMenu in our application is very easy. You just need to right-click, and it will pop up, but you need to attach this control to any node. For example, you can use JavaFX Button or JavaFX TextField. You need to use the node’s setContextMenu() method to attach the JavaFX ContextMenu, and it will show when you right-click the node. The following example code below will show you how to do it.

Button btn = new Button("Right Click");
btn.setContextMenu(contextMenu);
