i think i could put it to good use. i have some big maven builds

Hehe 🙂

split keyboards are really popular this year. @nimakro there is a DIY one called "Let's Split" that might be less expensive 1 reply carlw: thanks for the hint I will check it out

@edvin making a screencast?

@edvin @ron Hello again! Got another question - how can I bind the selected item of tableview bidirectionaly to the OccupationModel::activity?

So when the new Occupation is assigned to the model, than it is automatcally selected in the table?

Or maybe using tableview is not the best idea for this case.

@borboss You can't bind bidirectionally against the

selectionModel.selectedItemProperty

since it's readonly. You can however use a listener so that whenever

model.instrument1

changes, you can select that item in the table - if that's really what you need. It sounds like a weird use case though.

@edvin Yeah 😉 But what tornado gui elements would you use, if you needed one of the fields of an object to be an element of a set, that changes from time to time?

@borboss Well, you can bind to it unidirectionally. If that's not good enough you have to use a listener, I don't see any other option. But maybe you can attack your problem another way.

By the way, you're not using the builders correctly.

No need to say

this += vbox

or

this += label("Activity")

- just say

vbox

and

label("Activity")

.

There is a shortcut called

tableView.bindSelected(property)

or even

tableView.bindSelected(model)

which will bind the

selectedItem

of the TableView to the property or even model object supplied.

@ron No, I just wanted to configure Bandicam and check how it would perform on the Surface Pro. I would however like to create a couple of FXLauncher screencasts soon, especially one with the Maven plugin :))

@borboss You have another issue in your code: You inject the

OccupationModel

but it doesn't have a noargs constructor, so that won't work. Injectable objects need to be have a noargs constructor. You can however inject other properties into them if you need to.

@edvin I guess I have one more issue - used the bindSelected and it gives raises an exception - java.lang.RuntimeException: OccupationModel. : A bound value cannot be set.

@borboss Show me the code 🙂

(The error is basically saying that you've already bound the property you're now trying to bind again)

I see the issue, and I suspect this is a bug in the view model. Checking.

Well, maybe not a bug.

The thing is that the bindSelected call creates a unidirectional binding towards instrument1. When you then do commit on the model, it will after commit restore the value from the underlying object. This fails, since only a bidirectional bound property can be assigned to.

I think I have a solution.

@borboss I've committed a fix that will make sure you code runs fine without modifications.

Can you test against the latest snapshot?

@edvin cool 😉 I looked through the frp book once, this playing with immutability in gui resembles me the frp programming a bit 😉

@edvin Just a couple of minutes

Great 🙂 Getting ready for bed here, but will check in to see if it worked 🙂

@edvin sorry, but how you get the latest snapshot of github library? ;-(
