this gives me two textfields that look the same, however, the second textfield's context menu is "normal" and the first textfield's context menu is huge (and ugly)

@carlw see the difference? is this a tornadofx bug? seems silly to have to create a standard context menu just to keep it from changing size.

Looks like it. Is your code using the item() builder in the contextmenu() builder?

for the second one yes, for the first one, I just leave it blank because textfields already have undo,redo,cut, copy,paste,delete and select all

can you switch the one that has item() to the deprecated menuitem() ?

...and retest

no change, menuitem and item are correctly size... as in default size

sorry. i mixed the cases up...checking javafx

no worries.

It looks like the first case is the correct "cascading" effect which propagates the font to the context menu. This is the first case (default CM) in pure JavaFX.

@User uploaded a file: ContextMenu Gets TextField Style

ok, I figured that's what it was doing, but that's not what I want it to do 🙂

I was setting the style in fxml in the previous attempt.

so how do I not cascade it?

so far, it looks like adding your own contextmenu will break the styles. I'm looking at pure javafx and expect tornadofx to follow suit

I want it to break the style.

A trivial cut/copy/select that delgates to TextField.cut(), etc would work

(boilerplate)

yeah, that's what I was thinking to do, can I make a contextMenu class so I don't have to copy paste everywhere?

This might be a little object-oriented

@User uploaded a file: Custom ContextMenu Subclass

An extension function (either within or outside of TornadoFX) would be more in line with the rest of the classes, but you want a standard set of items

ContextMenu must be built on-demand because I was getting a lot of nullpointers trying to work with the built-in TextField.contextMenu object

So, I don't think this is a TornadoFX bug because it's mirrored in JavaFX. However, there could be an enhancement that picks up the TextField's style

yeah, I guess I was wrong, the difference is with FXML

what does FXML's ContextMenu look like coming out of the TextField? Styles mimic the TextField if left alone?

no, it was completely standard.. iirc
