MenuItem (JavaFX 8)

java.lang.Object
- javafx.scene.control.MenuItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Styleable, EventTarget

Direct Known Subclasses:

CheckMenuItem, CustomMenuItem, Menu, RadioMenuItem
```
@IDProperty(value="id")
public class MenuItem
extends Object
implements EventTarget, Styleable
```
MenuItem is intended to be used in conjunction with Menu to provide options to users. MenuItem serves as the base class for the bulk of JavaFX menus API. It has a display text property, as well as an optional graphic node that can be set on it. The accelerator property enables accessing the associated action in one keystroke. Also, as with the Button control, by using the setOnAction(javafx.event.EventHandler<javafx.event.ActionEvent>) method, you can have an instance of MenuItem perform any action you wish.
Note: Whilst any size of graphic can be inserted into a MenuItem, the most commonly used size in most applications is 16x16 pixels. This is the recommended graphic dimension to use if you're using the default style provided by JavaFX.
To create a MenuItem is simple:
```
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem("Open");
menuItem.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
    @Override public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
        System.out.println("Opening Database Connection...");
    }
});
menuItem.setGraphic(new ImageView(new Image("flower.png")));
```
Refer to the Menu page to learn how to insert MenuItem into a menu instance. Briefly however, you can insert the MenuItem from the previous example into a Menu as such:
```
final Menu menu = new Menu("File");
menu.getItems().add(menuItem);
```
Since:

JavaFX 2.0

```
    Registers an event handler to this MenuItem. The handler is called when the menu item receives an Event of the specified type during the bubbling phase of event delivery.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - the specific event class of the handler
    
    Parameters:
    
    eventType - the type of the events to receive by the handler
    
    eventHandler - the handler to register
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the event type or handler is null

```
    Unregisters a previously registered event handler from this MenuItem. One handler might have been registered for different event types, so the caller needs to specify the particular event type from which to unregister the handler.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - the specific event class of the handler
    
    Parameters:
    
    eventType - the event type from which to unregister
    
    eventHandler - the handler to unregister
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the event type or handler is null
  - buildEventDispatchChain
```
public EventDispatchChain buildEventDispatchChain(EventDispatchChain tail)
```
    Construct an event dispatch chain for this target. The event dispatch chain contains event dispatchers which might be interested in processing of events targeted at this EventTarget. This event target is not automatically added to the chain, so if it wants to process events, it needs to add an EventDispatcher for itself to the chain.
    In the case the event target is part of some hierarchy, the chain for it is usually built from event dispatchers collected from the root of the hierarchy to the event target.
    The event dispatch chain is constructed by modifications to the provided initial event dispatch chain. The returned chain should have the initial chain at its end so the dispatchers should be prepended to the initial chain.
    The caller shouldn't assume that the initial chain remains unchanged nor that the returned value will reference a different chain.
    
    Specified by:
    
    buildEventDispatchChain in interface EventTarget
    
    Parameters:
    
    tail - the initial chain to build from
    
    Returns:
    
    the resulting event dispatch chain for this target
