get FXML file nodes using java code

Question

How to get elements or nodes from FXML file using Java, I know the way by using initialization or by setting controller class in FxmL . But I need to do it without any controller. I want to access the nodes inside the fxml file using.

My FXML COde:

HBox fx:id="hbx" id="hbx" alignment="CENTER_RIGHT" prefHeight="100.0"
prefWidth="200.0" BorderPane.alignment="CENTER"

My java Code

System.out.println(par.lookupAll("hbx"));

See my Code above, could you give me a hint?

After loading the FXML file, you can use Node#lookup():

Node node = fxmlParentPane.lookup("#nodeId");

Am getting null after doing this step – GowthamIyer Apr 07 '14 at 10:16
@GowthamIyer, it may means the node not found. Give an id (not fx:id) to the node. Or update your question with sample code. – Uluk Biy Apr 07 '14 at 10:25
