I want to use JavaFX Menu in JFrame. I embedded it using JFXPanel and it is visible in the JFrame. BUT, the problem is, MenuItems don't respond to mouse. I can click the Menu, but not the MenuItems. If i select the MenuItem using keyboard and hit enter, it works. (MenuItems don't get highlighted when i hover mouse over them)
NOTE: I'm not having problem with Events. The click goes on component BELOW the menuItem.
Also, when the swing component is focused and then i want to click on the menu, it needs 2 clicks. First click only focuses the JFXPanel

JFrame frame;
JFXPanel panel;
private void initSwing()
{
frame = new JFrame();
panel= new JFXPanel();
frame.setSize(1024,768);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
Platform.runLater(() -> initFX(panel));
frame.add(new JTextArea(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
private void initFX(JFXPanel jfxPanel) {
try {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("FXBars.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
jfxPanel.setScene(scene);
} catch (IOException exc) {
exc.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Notepad test = new Notepad();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> test.initSwing() );
