}
});
Button button1 = new Button("On/Off Visited");
button1.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
boolean visited = hyperlink.isVisited();
hyperlink.setVisited(!visited);
hyperlink.setText(TEXT+" (visited:"+ hyperlink.isVisible()+")");
}
});
Button button2 = new Button("On/Off Underline");
button2.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
boolean underline = hyperlink.isUnderline();
hyperlink.setUnderline(!underline);
hyperlink.setText(TEXT+" (underline:"+ hyperlink.isUnderline()+")");
}
});
VBox root = new VBox();
root.setPadding(new Insets(10));
root.setSpacing(10);
root.getChildren().addAll(hyperlink,button1,button2);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
stage.setTitle("JavaFX Hiperlink (o7planning.org)");
