Scenebuilder onKeyPressed not calling method in controller

Question

Scenebuilder onKeyPressed not calling method in controller

46 Views Asked by Peter Miller At 22 February 2024 at 23:23

In my implementation, I utilize the onKeyPressed event to invoke the letterTyped function within the Pane situated at the top of the FXML file. Whenever a key is typed, my expectation is to have the keyCode printed, demonstrating that the method is successfully being called and executed as intended.

Driver class

public class Driver extends Application {
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        try {
            Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("GameInterface.fxml"));
            stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
            stage.show();
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Could not load LoginScreen.fxml");
        }
    }
}
