Hi Werner,
if you don't want to register handlers on the vbox children then yes,
this looks like the best thing to do - the system cannot tell which node
in the target's parent chain is your desired target, you need to decide
that manually.
Alternatively, you can have a single handler using the event source and
register it directly to the children.

Hi,
I am handling mouse and drag-detected events on a vbox to get a common
processing of the vbox children. Therefore event.source is always the
vbox (that is ok) but event.target is quite often some part of a skin,
e.g.
com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.LabeledText
To get to the actual label control I am currently checking the parent
chain to find a Skinnable parent node, or the vbox container. If a
Skinnable was found this is the "real target". If I get to the vbox
first, I assume that event.target is what I want to use here.
This is not too complicated to do but I was wondering if this is the
best way?
