In cases where I have used actions like this, I have generally created inner
classes that can see the WTKX-bound member variables of the outer class; e.g.:
public class MyWindow extends Window implements Bindable {
@WTKX private TextInput input;
public class MyAction extends Action {
@Override
public void perform() {
doSomething(input.getText());
}
}
}
