JavaFX Tutorial - JavaFX Hyperlink








The Hyperlink class represents the hyper links similar to the anchor links on the web pages in JavaFX. 

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
 /*from   w  ww. j a v  a 2 s . c o m*/
public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        stage.setTitle("HTML");
        stage.setWidth(500);
        stage.setHeight(500);
        Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
        VBox root = new VBox();    
        Hyperlink link = new Hyperlink("www.java2s.com");   
 
        
        root.getChildren().addAll(link);
        scene.setRoot(root);
 
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.

null




The following code uses the default constructor to create a Hyperlink object. Then it set the a URL as the text caption and finally add click event handler for it. 

Hyperlink link = new Hyperlink();
link.setText("http://java2s.com");
link.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
    System.out.println("This link is clicked");
});

The setText instance method defines the text caption for the hyperlink.

Hyperlink class extends the Labeled class, and we can set a font and fill for the hyperlink.

The following code adds image to a Hyperlink control.

Hyperlink hpl = new Hyperlink("java2s.com");
Image image1 = new Image(new File("a.jpg").toURI().toString(), 0, 100, false, false);
hpl.setGraphic(new ImageView (image1));




Example

Change font for Hyperlink 

import java.io.File;
//from w w w. jav a  2 s.  c om
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
 
public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        stage.setTitle("HTML");
        stage.setWidth(500);
        stage.setHeight(500);
        Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
        VBox root = new VBox();    

        Hyperlink hpl = new Hyperlink("java2s.com");

        hpl.setFont(Font.font("Arial", 14));
        
        root.getChildren().addAll(hpl);
        
        scene.setRoot(root);
 
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
