Im trying to make my toggleButtons in group behave like radioButtons/* only one selected at the time*/ I have tryed this 

private void checkButtonStatuses(ActionEvent event){
        ((ToggleButton)event.getSource()).getToggleGroup().getToggles().stream().parallel().forEach(e ->
        {

            if(e.isSelected()){
                if(e.equals(event.getSource())){
                     if(e.isSelected()){
                        e.setSelected(false);//in case clicked on already selected toggle button
                    }
                }else{
                    e.setSelected(false);
                }
            }
        });

    }

and this is where i call it from

 @FXML
    private void setPageBrowseProfiles(ActionEvent event){
        load("browseProfiles");
        checkButtonStatuses(event);
    }

That is attached to toggleButton,

im getting exception,and doesnt work either way(multiple toggle buttons are still selected).

  • sure, if you are willing to write a lot of code, and re-test is for each togglebutton you're adding. but if you want the functionality of a radiobutton, why not use a radiobutton? – Stultuske May 13 '14 at 10:52
  • im currently testing it on only 2 of my buttons and yes im willing to write lot of code ;).I dont want to use radio buttons.I woud have to then work aroud to change ui of it thru css and i rather type more code in here then there. – Tomas Bisciak May 13 '14 at 10:54

    ToggleButtons are made for the job you are looking for, i.e. selecting one button at one time. Did you specify a toggleGroup ? please go through http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/toggle-button.htm – ItachiUchiha May 13 '14 at 10:56
  • Tomas: that's a weird approach. if you re-work to radiobuttons, which is the obvious solution, you'll only need to do it once. the "write a lot of code" part might return each time you add one, or update the page, and it gives a lot more chance on the build to break. why running the risk? – Stultuske May 13 '14 at 10:58
  • @ItachiUchiha Yes i did.Problem is that i want them to deselect if i have already one selected.(like radio buttons).In case i select another one i want to select only new one and old one to deselect.I hope you understand me. – Tomas Bisciak May 13 '14 at 10:58
  • @TomasBisciak When you select a new ToggleButton, the old one automatically gets deselected ! I still don't get your question. – ItachiUchiha May 13 '14 at 11:25
  • @ItachiUchiha Yes i noticed now.By mistake i didnt initialized my ToggleGroup before using it ! Thanks for help – Tomas Bisciak May 13 '14 at 12:22

Please find an example on ToggleButton and comment below, in case you have any doubts

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Toggle;
import javafx.scene.control.ToggleButton;
import javafx.scene.control.ToggleGroup;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ToggleButtonDemo extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
        stage.setTitle("Toggle Button");
        stage.setWidth(150);
        stage.setHeight(150);

        final ToggleGroup group = new ToggleGroup();

        group.selectedToggleProperty().addListener(
                new ChangeListener<Toggle>() {
                    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Toggle> ov,
                            Toggle oldToggle, Toggle newToggle) {
                        if (null != newToggle)
                            System.out.println(group.getSelectedToggle()
                                    .getUserData());
                    }
                });

        ToggleButton toggleButton1 = new ToggleButton("A");
        toggleButton1.setToggleGroup(group);
        toggleButton1.setUserData("You Clicked on A");

        ToggleButton toggleButton2 = new ToggleButton("B");
        toggleButton2.setToggleGroup(group);
        toggleButton2.setUserData("You Clicked on B");

        ToggleButton toggleButton3 = new ToggleButton("C");
        toggleButton3.setToggleGroup(group);
        toggleButton3.setUserData("You Clicked on C");

        HBox hbox = new HBox();

        hbox.getChildren().add(toggleButton1);
        hbox.getChildren().add(toggleButton2);
        hbox.getChildren().add(toggleButton3);

        ((Group) scene.getRoot()).getChildren().add(hbox);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
}
