All Implemented Interfaces:
@DefaultProperty(value="menus") public class MenuBar extends Control
A MenuBar control traditionally is placed at the very top of the user interface, and embedded within it are Menus. To add a menu to a menubar, you add it to the menus ObservableList. By default, for each menu added to the menubar, it will be represented as a button with the Menu text value displayed.
MenuBar sets focusTraversable to false.
To create and populate aMenuBar, you may do what is shown below. Please refer to the Menu API page for more information on how to configure it. final Menu menu1 = new Menu("File");
final Menu menu2 = new Menu("Options");
final Menu menu3 = new Menu("Help");
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
menuBar.getMenus().addAll(menu1, menu2, menu3);
