I thought there should be a handler that is called only, when a drag actually was started

like the onMouseDragReleased

i intercept all the events at the top level and delegate downward to child components

the top level is responsible for pick correlation that might not be possible using sibling container references

here's another example. bonus hedgehog http://bekwam.blogspot.com/2016/04/moving-hedgehog-around-game-board-in.html

hi, was there not a way to give parameters to the intatiation in a class?

I want to give parameters to Mainview

find() will let you pass in a Map

try find<MainView>(params)

cool I will try that @carlw

np. are you reviving the keypass stuff?

no not at the moment, working on a utility app for work

is there any example for tree view with tristate checkboxes that manages propagation?

Im using buttons with actions

center.replaceWith(find(SelectionScreen::class).root)

to change view on a borderpane, but all state is lost when switching between views?

This comes to mind. All of the propagation is handled by a data binding property "data". I don't think a checkbox will be suitable since that's bound to a BooleanProperty with a null state that maps to false.

For the state between Views. Views are singleton, meaning 1 per app instance. Factor out your state into a common component that extends Controller or ViewModel. Those will also be singleton (by default) and you can reference the shared state object in both Views.

Thanks for the help

I've got a text flow, that I dynamically update text nodes into. I would like to change the font of this, at runtime, when someone loads a font via a different part of the editor. I've got a property holding the actual font, how do I make it apply to the styling?

Right now nothing seems to happen. I see my opbservable (rxjava) firing the change event for the loading of the font. And I tried to call

style { font = that_new_font }

but it doesn't seem to work

googling isn't getting me very far, maybe I'm not looking at the right things

oh wait, found fontProperty, maybe this is it

blerg, doesn't seem to be working

aha, it is working

hooray

It helps if I attach my properties to the ones that I'm actually changing when I test things.

PEBCAK

@edvin I haven't heard anything on the keyboard in a while. Any news I missed?

I worked on something like this yesterday for a plain javafx app. It's ported over to TornadoFX for interested parties. The "Show Password" Hyperlink brings a TextField in front of a PasswordField to show the password contents. Disable the TextField so that the user can't tab into it. Set the opacity=1 to restore the plain styling on the disabled TextField
