Re: monitor mouse events but not capture them
Placed a new version in GIT, tests are green as well. I'm quite pleased with the improvements. Going to take a peek at CornerMenu to see if it makes sense to refactor it also. Tom
Re: monitor mouse events but not capture them
My internet provider has problems sending to GMail addresses.
For me it worked to register to scene.getRoot().
I like registering to a node, because it allows to install different menu's to
different nodes, but still do the most common approach of install a single menu
to the top level pane.
Your code already uses addEventHandler, I adopted that.

Didn't it work for you? You may as well install the menu to a Scene
instead of a Node. That will also simplify listening to scene's
events, because you don't have to worry about the case when the node
is not yet attached to the scene (when node.getScene() returns null).
By the way, you should probably use addEventHandler instead of
addEventFilter, to allow child nodes to consume the event if they want
to override the right click.

The nice thing about popup window is that it can extend beyond the
bounds of the owner window.
Just let me know if transparency works for you as expected. Some time
ago transparency stopped working on my system and I didn't care to
find out why, so my Popup has white background instead of transparent,
but should be transparent on a healthy system.

Sample:
https://github.com/TomasMikula/jfxtras-labs/blob/8.0/src/main/java/jfxtras/labs/scene/menu/Sample1.java
Main points:
* No "canvas" pane used, CircularPane is added directly to the stack
pane.
* CircularPane is added as the last child to the stack pane in order
to be on top.
* CircularPane is an "unmanaged" child of the stack pane, in order to
allow custom positioning (at mouse pointer)
* Since setPickOnBounds(false) causes the mouse exit the circular pane
as soon as it opens, there's slightly more logic to hide the menu
instead of just listening to MOUSE_EXITED events:
stackPane.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVED, e -> {
if(isShown()) {
Bounds localBounds = circularPane.getBoundsInLocal();
Bounds screenBounds =
circularPane.localToScreen(localBounds);

Re: monitor mouse events but not capture them
You're way ahead of me. Why use stackpane and not popup as suggested? Wouldn't
Popup remove the need for a stackpane?

What about using Popup, which is a subclass of PopupWindow? You just need
to populate its content
popup.getContent().addAll(Node...);
and then show it at the right position, relative to any node

Hi all,
Maybe someone has solved this already, so I thought I pop the
question. Currently I'm working on CirclePopupMenu; a menu that is supposed
to pop up on any place in a scene when a certain (usually the middle or
right) mouse button is pressed.
Right now CirclePopupMenu requires a stackpane to which it binds
itself. CirclePopupMenu initially places an empty "canvas" Pane on the stack
pane, and will use that to render and position the menu when it needs to
appear.
Also I need to monitor the mouse to detect if the menu should
appear. In order to do that, I would like to use that canvas pane, but then
any non relevant button clicks will not reach the underlying controls. In
order to enable correct behavior I need to setPickOnBounds(false) on the
pane, but then it does receive the mouse events anymore.
Is there any way to monitor mouse events but still pass them
through to the underlying controls? In Swing I did something similar and
used a system level mouse event hook.

way to do this. It does work expect the mouse button problem. But any

The code would look like this:

canvas.setManaged(false);

Re: monitor mouse events but not capture them
But a PopupWindow would be detached from the pane? Not sure if that is what I envision, but I'll give it a go and see what it looks like. Your event filter does work though for what I need now.

Events can pass only though parent-child hierarchy, so you can't catch an Event in your "circular menu" pane and then pass it to some other children of the parent StackPane.

So again, you'd need RT-20184 to determine the target again by temporarily making the menu pane mouse transparent, doing Scene.pick and then redirecting the Event by Event.fireEvent().

Oh, I see. So it's not a PopupWindow at all.

Re: monitor mouse events but not capture them
No, I require a StackPane, to which a special "canvas" Pane is added. And on that Pane a circular shaped menu is placed. The separate pane prevents conflicting with other nodes that may be drawn, the stack pane makes sure the menu is on top.
