Pass Text Area Value From FXML To Controller

I am new to fxml programming and am wanting to pass the value from a textbox created in my fxml to my controller. i have wired up 

fx:controller="sample.Controller"

so the controller can talk to the fxml - but this is the code I have, but I'm getting this error 

<TextField fx:id="txtSearchTerm" layoutX="188.0" layoutY="56.0" />

@FXML TextField txtSearchTerm;

@FXML
private void QueryDB(ActionEvent event)
{
    //do stuff here\
    String selectedvalue = txtSearchTerm.getText();
}

What is the proper way to set this up?

Solution

  • Make sure that the type of TextField is from the javafx.scene.control namespace and not from the java.awt namespace
