title: Is it possible to add a ActionEvent Handler to a javaFX Textfield using addEventHandler method?
body: <p>I tried to add action handlers to text field using the addEventHandler() but seem not to be working. Is it even possible o is it a bug? If I try the same with Button control everything is fine.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the sample code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.teste;
  
  import javafx.application.Application;
  import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
  import javafx.event.EventHandler;
  import javafx.scene.Scene;
  import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
  import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
  import javafx.stage.Stage;
  
  public class EventHandlerTest extends Application {
  
  @Override
  public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      stage.setTitle("Custom JavaFX Event");
      TextField btn = new TextField();
      btn.setId("Fire Button");
      btn.setText("Fire MyEvent'");
  
      btn.addEventHandler(ActionEvent.ACTION, new EventHandler&lt;ActionEvent&gt;() {
  
          @Override
          public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
  
              if (event.getEventType().equals(ActionEvent.ACTION)) {
                  System.out.println("ActionEvent 2");
              }
          }     
      }); 
  
      StackPane root = new StackPane();
      root.getChildren().add(btn);
      stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
      stage.show();
  }
  
  /**
   * @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      launch(args);
  }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Documentation says it should be possible, but can't find anything else. Any ideas?</p>
