JavaFX 2.2 -fx:include - how to access parent controller from child controller

Question

I had code from stackoverflow on \"access child controller from parent controller\" as below.

ParentController.java

public class ParentController  i         


        

Answer 1

I did as following -

public class childController  implements Initializable{

    @FXML public Label sessionLabel;
    @FXML private AnchorPane child;

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
    }
    @FXML
    private void mClicked (){
        System.out.println(child.getParent().lookup("#lebelInParent"));
    }
}

child.fxml

<AnchorPane fx:id="child" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="childController">
   <children>
      <HBox id="hbox_top" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0">
         <Label fx:id="sessionLabel" prefHeight="20.0" text="" onMouseClicked="#mClicked"/>  
      </HBox>
   </children>
</AnchorPane>

explaination - it loads parent.fxml and when I click on sessionLabel, it calls mClicked method of childController and child.getParent().lookup, search for Id and return Node.
