import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Test extends Application {

@Override // Override the start method in the Application class
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btOK = new Button("OK");

btOK.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("The OK button is clicked");
}
});

Scene scene = new Scene(btOK, 200, 250);

primaryStage.setTitle("MyJavaFX"); // Set the stage title
primaryStage.setScene(scene); // Place the scene in the stage
primaryStage.show(); // Display the stage

launch(args);
}
}

B. The program has a runtime error because no handlers are registered with
btOK.
C. The message "The OK button is clicked" is displayed when you click the
OK button.
D. The handle method is not executed when you click the OK button, because
no handler is registered with btOK.

15.16 Analyze the following code.

Button btCancel = new Button("Cancel");

EventHandler<ActionEvent> handler = new EventHandler<ActionEvent>()

{
public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("The OK button is clicked");
}
};

btOK.setOnAction(handler);
btCancel.setOnAction(handler);

HBox pane = new HBox(5);

Scene scene = new Scene(pane, 200, 250);

primaryStage.setTitle("Test"); // Set the stage title
primaryStage.setScene(scene); // Place the scene in the stage
primaryStage.show(); // Display the stage
}

/**
* The main method is only needed for the IDE with limited JavaFX
* support. Not needed for running from the command line.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}

A. When clicking the OK button, the program displays The OK button is

clicked.
B. When clicking the Cancel button, the program displays The OK button is
clicked.
C. When clicking either button, the program displays The OK button is
clicked twice.
D. The program has a runtime error, because the handler is registered with
more than one source.
