JavaFX disable default action on a single TextField

Question

I have a form in JavaFX and I have setup a default button so that whenever I press enter while editing any of the text fields the action bound to the button is performed. The issue that I have is that I would like to disable this behavior on a single text field, and I could not find a solution to this.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

EDIT: I found out that using

inputField.onActionProperty().set()

instead of

inputField.onActionProperty().addListener()

works

You should be able to retrieve the event target and check if it's the one that should be avoided, something like this.

final EventTarget target = event.getTarget();

if (code == KeyCode.ENTER && target instanceof TextField) {
    // Do casting stuff then...
    if(target != myTextField)
       doSomething();
    else
       dont();
}
