How to use controlsFX with FXML

Question

I'm using the ControlsFX ToggleSwitch like so:

<ToggleSwitch fx:id="toggle" onAction="#handleToggleAction" mnemonicParsing="false" GridPane.columnIndex="1" />

I want to be able to associate actions on this ToggleSwitch with a method in my controller.

This is some of my code in the controller:

@FXML private void handleToggleAction(ActionEvent event) throws IOException { Boolean selected = ((ToggleSwitch) event.getSource()).isSelected(); if(selected) { //do something } else { //something else } }

This is causing me an error:

Cannot determine type for property.

I don't know why this is causing an error. Before using a ToggleSwitch I was using a ToggleButton and the handler method was working fine. Any help appreciated.

ToggleSwitch simply does not contain a onAction property.

Therefore it's probably best to register a listener in the initialize method of the controller:

@FXML private void initialize() { toggle.selectedProperty().addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) -> { if(newValue) { //do something } else { //something else } }); }
