Hi folks, I test SwingPanel and it seems to have a bug. It renders on Top of Compose, for example, I’m using Dropdown and it display bellow the SwingPanel. Any workaround for that?

How to edit input text to TextField when open the Popup I want create a Selector that can filter item by text for input Code In Thread 👉🏾 Issue https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/issues/2810

is there a guide for contributing to Compose for Desktop? I’m hitting a performance issue with paragraph layouts (calculated with skia interop) and I think I can contribute some improvements, but I didn’t see a contributing guide. is JB happy if we simply raise a PR or is there a more formalised process?

alphabet yellow question 📦 alphabet yellow question Hey everyone, I'm trying to gauge interest in a possible distribution-as-a-service product. It would be based on Hydraulic Conveyor and have the same feature set, but be delivered as a hosted SaaS rather than a downloadable tool. You would use it by uploading a zip containing a config file+input files, optionally containing your signing keys (or pointing at a hosted HSM service as provided by CAs), then we'd convert that into a download+update site at a hosted URL. You then just point your users there and you have a self-updating desktop app for all platforms. Probably the Gradle plugin would be able to do that upload for you. The primary difference vs the local tool would be that you could use it just using HTTP/curl/gradle/a browser and you wouldn't have to think about hosting, the flip side is you wouldn't be able to use pre-existing EV USB dongles if you have those, and the iteration speed is obviously lower than when working with a local tool. What do you guys think? Please reply in a thread. Specifically interested in knowing whether there are any people who would use this but wouldn't use Conveyor in downloadable tool form. thank you! simple smile

Hello! How do I handle click event without consuming them? Say that you have a

Box

with a such modifier to intercept the clicks and do stuff, but I want the

content

of the box to also receive the clicks!

My team is trying to find a way to communicate between a parent composable and a child composable while using the Voyager navigation library. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Hi. I like to have a menu in my app. For instance this is a part of that example coding:

Menu("File", mnemonic = 'F') {
     Item("Copy", onClick = { action = "Last action: Copy" }, shortcut = KeyShortcut(Key.C, ctrl = true))
     Item("Paste", onClick = { action = "Last action: Paste" }, shortcut = KeyShortcut(Key.V, ctrl = true))
}

This all works in my, including shortcuts and mnemonics. I know like to add a "listener" to each Item, so when the item gets the focus (but the user hasn't clicked on the item) a "preview" action is triggered. The reason is: the user can select different background images per item. By navigating through the menu the app should immediately show each background image as soon as an Item gets the focus (in Swing I would listen for "isArmed"). However, first when a item is clicked the background image is really set as new background image. The desktop tutorials shows how to add PoinerEvents (->https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/2af56d8cbf85d0530b2849545aba65b8668f0f3c/tutorials/Mouse_Events#mouse-enter-listeners). However, I don't see a modifier parameter I can pass to "Item". How can I add a PointerEvent/Listener to an Item?

Do you have recommendation on how to architect

Menu

content, state & action (of the

WindowScope

) for different "screens"? Currently, I have a single desktop specific

MyApp

class which is responsible to • provide

main()

• create

application {}

• create main

Window

composable • delegate main window content to a

MyAppContent

composable The

MyAppContent

then handles the navigation logic between "screens" (using #decompose library (but whatever?)) Depending on the navigation state machine, a proper

FooScreen

composable is chosen to display screen content. Each of these "screen" have its own

FooViewModel

to drive logic and UI binding. Now, back to the menu topic. AFAIK, the menu must be managed within the

WindowScope

and thus currently in my main top level

MyApp

. For general purpose menu items like preferences, it's fine but several items are contextual to the screen being displayed. I need to • decide if an item must be displayed or not • decide if the item is enabled or disabled • provide a business logic callback to call when item is clicked (most likely to a

FooViewModel

entity) I'm not sure what would work well in this setup, ideally isolating desktop specific stuff like that outside main screens meant to be reusable at least on Android and maybe more later. If "duplicating" some boilerplate of "screens" would be needed to combine desktop feature and reusing code in other platforms, it's fine though.

Given a project with a structure like the projects in https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/tree/master/experimental/examples where should one place the file(s) with the proguards rules and in which of the many gradle files do you configure them? Whatever I tried just resulted in some configuration error.

I have desktop app written in python using the

QtGui

can I use the Compose for the UI, any reference will be great help

I have a Multiplatform app with desktop(compose), Android app and web. When I run the desktop module in windows directly from Idea (Play Button), then the JVM application opens. But, if I run

:packageMsi

, install

.msi

and try to run the

.exe

file, then it is not opening. It doesn't even throw any error. How to fix this and how to check logs of an executive application?

Is there an API on the jvm target to show icons in the window frame. See below, notice the back arrow icon and refresh icon. It was taken on a Mac Chrome App

Was messing around a bit last night and was happily surprised that with just a few modifications Compose UI can be output via Skiko/Skia's SVG backend. Certain things like elevation shadows don't quite work, it appears, and

Icon(...)

composables will embed base64 bitmap data even with a

vectorPainter

, but it's still very neat to see how much of it does "just work".

Is it possible to wrap a native view with desktop compose? On Mac, I’d like to host an MTKView and hook up a MoltenVK renderer but drive the UI with compose. Also, whatever the equivalent of that would be on Windows 😂 ..

Hi! Can I use the bluetooth for connection with peripheral devices? Mb I can use some library for shared module and just checking connection from the desktop module?

Hey, Are there any snapshot built for https://github.com/JetBrains/jewel or i should just build the jar and use it directly. I wanted to give it a try in the plugin i am building.

in android we used to take permission in manifest file. how can we take permission for desktop in compose multiplatform?

Does anybody have a link to an article explaining how Compose Multiplatform works? (e.g. how the compiler is not bundled with the android environment even though contains the androidx in the name etc)

Hi everyone, I am excited to share my project which I had been working on for the past few weeks. I started this project with the eagerness to experiment with desktop compose and do some game dev so I started building out a Typing game

Typster

using Desktop Compose. It's been a really fun journey learned about game loop, audio streams and many other essentials things around jvm and desktop environment. Please do try out the game would love to hear the feedback! Repo Link - https://github.com/abhinav12k/Typster Don't forget to ⭐️ the repo

Hi! I have a

Text

displaying a multiline String. What would be the nicest way (or any way) to find out which line of this Text is under the mouse cursor? I see that

Text

has

onTextLayout

, so I guess I can use it to calculate stuff, so then the question boils down to: How do I get coordinates of the mouse cursor relative to the currently rendered Composable underneath it?

Hey guys, I'm using the

drawBehind

modifier, which doesn't provide a Composable scope. However I need a composable scope in order to use

rememberTextMeasurer

in

drawText

. How can I do that?

Hi I new to compose I have written the following code. But while calling the API On button click getting this error. Also I want to know how to Log in compose desktop. Error message in the Thread

Hi everyone, does anyone know if there exists something like paparazzi or any other library for screenshot testing in compose desktop😊

Hi everyone, I'm working on a big desktop project using compose, and it's a pdf editor where you can see the content of a pdf file and draw stuffs on it, I'm using compose canvas but when the user is drawing the project uses a big percentage of the CPU and the app is laggy in some devices, any ideas ? (idk if I could use skia I thought that it's used by default, also for hardware acceleration is it enabled by default ?)

So I've been building my Mac app on our CI and suddenly my new Mac builds aren't launching and I see

$ /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for code cache (245760K)

Locally, my app builds and runs just fine. However, I don't have the certs too sign it locally. Would anyone know what's up? I tried running a CI build using a commit from weeks ago that I know in the past has generated a perfectly normal executable/binary, and that still failed with the same error. So it's almost certainly due to some change on the CI machines, I'm just trying to narrow down what?
