How can I select a number or text in the spinner textfield on entry?
I am using a javafx spinner for Integers. Is there a way to select the value in the Spinner, when I click on it or move to it with TAB?
Like it works for TextAreas with the following code:
myTextArea.focusedProperty().addListener((obs, isFocused, isNowFocused) -> {
if (isNowFocused) {
myTextArea.selectAll();
}
})
selectAll() does not work for the spinner. I would like to start typing in the spinner field without previously deleting the initial value.

You can call selectAll() on the editor (which is a TextField) of the Spinner.
spinner.focusedProperty().addListener((obs, wasFocused, isFocused) -> {
if (isFocused) {
Platform.runLater(spinner.getEditor()::selectAll);
}
});
When trying this I had to wrap the selectAll call inside a Platform.runLater call. The Spinner itself might be doing something when it gains focus which interferes with the call to selectAll; using Platform.runLater defers the call to some time after Spinner does whatever it does.

Yes, it works. I tried "spinner.getEditor().selectAll" as well but had no idea about Platform.runLater. I was really desperate, thanks a lot!
