Question

I’m trying to do something when one tab of my tabPane is clicked, I’ve tried use Action Event but it doesn’t work:

public void tabPressClicked (ActionEvent event){
        comboBoxPresYear.setVisible(true);
        lblPresYear.setVisible(true);
    }

[EDITED]

The right way to do that:

tabPresentation.setOnSelectionChanged(new EventHandler<Event>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(Event t) {
                if (tabPresentation.isSelected()) {
                    comboBoxPresYear.setVisible(true);
                    lblPresYear.setVisible(true);
                }
            }
        });

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do/ what ActionEvent you are expecting but try either something like:

tabPane.getSelectionModel().selectedIndexProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
    @Override
    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> ov, Number oldValue, Number newValue) {
        // do something...
    }
}); 

if you want to do something when the selection changes (any tab)

or try:

http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/control/Tab.html#setOnSelectionChanged%28javafx.event.EventHandler%29

for a specific tab (I haven’t tried this yet, though).
