How to add action listeners to ContextMenu in JavaFX?

A context menu is a popup menu that appears on interacting with the UI elements in the application. You can create a context menu by instantiating the javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu class.
Just like a menu, after creating a context menu, you need to add MenuItems to it. You can set ContextMenu to any object of the javafx.scene.control class, using the setContextMenu() method.
Typically, these content menus appear when you “right-click” on the attached control.
The ContextMenu class inherits a property named onAction from the javafx.scene.control.ButtonBase class, which is of the type ObjectProperty<EventHandler<ActionEvent>>. This property represents the action that is invoked whenever you press the button. You can set the value to this property using the setOnAction() method.
To set action on a context menu you need to −
Instantiate the ContextMenu class.
Instantiate the ContextMenu class.
Create a MenuItem object and add them to the Menu.
Create a MenuItem object and add them to the Menu.
Invoke the setOnAction() method the menu item object.
Invoke the setOnAction() method the menu item object.
To the setOnAction() method you need to pass an EventHandler<ActionEvent> object wrapping the code for the action to perform within it.
Following JavaFX example contains a button and, a slider that resizes the button. On “right-click” the button shows two options − Prevent Resizing and Allow Resizing.
If you select the Prevent Resizing option, the button is set to default size and you cannot re-size it further. If you select Allow Resizing again, you can re-size it.
