How to close current stage when clicking a button to display new stage without making the components of the new stage inactive

Question

Let's say I have a Stage A which contain two Buttons, oui Button opens a new Stage B, non closes A. what I'm trying to do is close A after clicking on oui Button and open B. I'm using showAndWait() to open B, then I try to execute A.close() which obviously fails being preceded by showAndWait(), when I tried to run A.close() before showAndWait() A closes, but then all Bcontrols including Buttons and Text Fields become inactive, is there any workaround ?

Here is the executed code when clicking on oui in order to open B Stage :

public class AController implements Initializable { @FXML private Button oui; @FXML private Button non; /** * Initializes the controller class. */ @Override public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) { // TODO } @FXML private void ouiBtnClick(ActionEvent event) throws IOException { FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(); loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("B.fxml")); Stage stage = new Stage(); VBox mainPane = (VBox) loader.load(); Scene scene = new Scene(mainPane); stage.setScene(scene); stage.initStyle(StageStyle.DECORATED); stage.setResizable(false); stage.showAndWait(); nonBtnClick(); // method that close `A` } @FXML private void nonBtnClick() { Stage s = (Stage) non.getScene().getWindow(); s.close(); } }

Also, what happens if you use show instead of showAndWait? — SedJ601

According to my understanding ,you need to close current stage and open new stage.If you need to close stage A ,we can say current stage and open new stage ,we can say next stage ,you need get window of your event and close it ,i mean window of clickEvent

 @FXML private void ouiBtnClick(ActionEvent event) throws IOException { FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(); loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("B.fxml")); Stage stage = new Stage(); VBox mainPane = (VBox) loader.load(); Scene scene = new Scene(mainPane); stage.setScene(scene); stage.initStyle(StageStyle.DECORATED); stage.setResizable(false); stage.show(); nonBtnClick(event); } @FXML private void nonBtnClick(ActionEvent event) { ((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow().hide();//close currentstage }

You just changed showAndWait() to show() which I stated in the answer, as for your last line, it does the same job as nonBtnClick(). Thank you though
