ActionUtils (ControlsFX Project 8.0.5)

```
public class ActionUtils
extends Object
```
Convenience class for users of the Action API. Primarily this class is used to conveniently create UI controls from a given Action (this is necessary for now as there is no built-in support for Action in JavaFX UI controls at present).
Some of the methods in this class take a Collection of actions. In these cases, it is likely they are designed to work with action groups. For examples on how to work with these methods, refer to the ActionGroup class documentation.
