Adding Menubar to Gridpane

Question

How do I add a MenuBar to a stage? I have tried including it in my GridPane (which I have added all my other elements to) but it never looks as if it is attached to the top of the window.

Is there anyway to solve this?

I used this code to place it in the layout.

 layout.add(menuBar,0,1,10,1);

Where layout is the GridPane, and menuBar is the MenuBar with the menu things added.

Wrap the `GridPane` and the `MenuBar` in a different layout, e.g. `BorderPane` — fabian, Aug 27 '18 at 19:02

If you are doing this in code, try using a better node as the root. When I have a MenuBar, I love to use VBox. You can add your GridPane after the MenuBar.

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Menu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuBar;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

/**

public class JavaFXApplication249 extends Application
{

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage)
    {
        Menu miFile = new Menu("File");
        MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
        menuBar.getMenus().add(miFile);

        VBox root = new VBox(menuBar);

        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);

        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        launch(args);
    }

}
