Question

How can i assign a handler to minimize(iconify) app to a @FXML private HBox minBtn; (custom button made with Shape) button from Controller’s public void initialize(URL, ResourceBundle) method? setIconified(boolean) method is in Stage class and i can’t get him in my Controller class.

Answer 1

You can access to the Stage by

minBtn.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {

    @Override
    public void handle(MouseEvent arg0) {
        ((Stage) ((Node) arg0.getSource()).getScene().getWindow()).setIconified(true);
        // OR
        ((Stage) minBtn.getScene().getWindow()).setIconified(true);
    }
});
