Stage hide/show from Swing

[Matthias Hänel]

Hello there,


I have a stage that is been called from a Java Swing application. This is not a real problem
since I can run follwing code:

PlatformImpl.startup(new Runnable()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        myStage = new myStage();
        myStage.show();
    }
});


That works so far. 

No I would like to close this stage from the swing application. I can call:

Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
{
    @Override
    public void run()
    {
        myStage.hide();
    }
});


This also works. 

Since I have a toggle-Button to hide and show the stage from the swing application, I would like
to re-show the stage and I would like to know when the stage is showing or not. This seems to be nearly impossible by now.

What did I try?

1. I tried to shutdown the javafx entire with com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit().exit(); in the hide process. So I expected to use PlatformImpl.startup again. Unfortunately, it did not work.

2. I tried to leave javafx untouched. The second time I only call PlatformImpl.runLater to create a new scene.

3. I tried to run it from the swing thread without Platform.run... ... this failed obviuosly. (I just had no further ideas ;)) 


Does anyone tried this before? Any advise will be helpful :)



Thanks in advance
Matthias
