I am learning to create Screen Recording application in JavaFx. I want user to resize the rectangle to decide the screen capture area. I have made stage and scene Transparent by primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
and scene.setFill(null);
.
I am able to resize the rectangular section but the problem is When I click inside the stage, It gets minimized as it is transparent. How to solve this issue ?
I have seen this application screencast-o-matics and following the same. Please guide me on this.
