Cancel mode event to hide contextmenus?

[Werner Lehmann]

Hi,

I am still having a hard time to make sure that contextmenus are hidden 
when the user moves or resizes the window underneath. This is on a 
JFXPanel, not sure if it is a problem in a pure FX application, too.

Currently this requires quite some code, see below for a snippet. And 
this works only if I actually have a reference to all contextmenus which 
could possibly be showing on a scene. Which is also a problem because on 
MenuButton and other controls the contextmenu is an implementation 
detail and it is intentionally hard or impossible to get a reference to 
those.

On Win32 there is a WM_CANCELMODE event sent to controls which stops 
editing, unreleases mouse captures, and also closes menus. Is there 
something similar in FX which I could send to a root container to 
achieve this on every child control?

PS: for your "amusement", this is what I am currently doing to hide the 
menu IF I have a reference to it:

1. Wait until control is added to scene.
2. Wait until scene has a window.
3. Listen to changes on the window x/y/width properties to hide the 
contextmenu (don't need to listen to height property in this case).
