I have a 40x40 gridpane, displaying a map. Currently, i have the following methods listening for a right click:
//detect right click + display menu, select if you want to place item 1 or item 2
final ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
{
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event)
{
if (event.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY)
event.consume();
}
});
cm.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Following item selected: "+
((MenuItem)event.getTarget()).getText());
}
});
//two placeable items
MenuItem item1Place = new MenuItem("Item 1");
MenuItem item2Place = new MenuItem("Item 2");
cm.getItems().addAll(item1Place, item2Place);
primaryStage.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
{
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent e)
{
if (e.getButton() == MouseButton.SECONDARY)
{
cm.show(primaryStage, e.getScreenX(), e.getScreenY());
}
}
});
What I'd like to implement is the following:
If a menu item is selected after a right click, i'd like to save the position of the right click in a variable
e.g. [32,12] if right click was 32 blocks of the gridpane across, and 12 blocks up.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing this?
Thanks in advance
// first edit code entered below. I realise the indentation is very off however fixing it seemed to turn it back to plain text
placeItem1.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.println("Item 1 placed ["+col+", "+row+"]"));
placeItem2.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.println(Item 2 placed["+col+", "+row+"]"));
menu.show(cell, e.getScreenX(), e.getScreenY());
});
root.add(cell, x, y);
Add a listener to each cell in the grid, instead of adding one mouse listener to the stage. The proper listener to use for context menu handling is a
contextMenuRequested
handler:
