How to get stage from controller during initialization?

You can get the instance of the controller from the FXMLLoader after initialization via getController(), but you need to instantiate an FXMLLoader instead of using the static methods then. I’d pass the stage after calling load() directly to the controller afterwards: FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource(“MyGui.fxml”)); Parent root = (Parent)loader.load(); MyController controller = (MyController)loader.getController(); controller.setStageAndSetupListeners(stage); … Read more
