@edvin can you put command/commandParameter on choicebox() too?

@carlw Let me check that 🙂 Doing pair programming now, will pick it up tonight.

thx

@edvin how is the shoulder

@ron this is an example of the current command interface

@User uploaded a file: Command , CommandParameter Example

Bob went to fetch coffee, so I implemented Commanding support for ChoiceBox 🙂

great. i’ll pull in a little while

I want it to be possible to assign properties instead of binding as well, will fix tonight.

I also want a shortcut to assign command and property.

yeah…WPF does it by tracking the event source and target. But they’re using some type of path to navigate to a control’s contents (from what I’ve seen so far)

looking at the kcicruit code

interesting, the complete seperation and just setting the command variable of the button to the command in the controller

yeah. these commands can appear anywhere — menu items, buttons, a Contrl+Shift+A access, keyboard shortcut

when i get a chance, I’m going to add a command for converting among the units from the choicebox selection

convert() will take 2 arguments, probably a Kotlin Pair, passed along as a commandParameter

@edvin so for the properties, of course they have to be dynamic. what do you think about giving the receiver the ability to interrogate the parameter object? you get a reference to something that can be queried rather than statically passed

I really need to start coding again

Will pick up again tonight guys 🙂

I ordered that elecom trackball thingy btw, should arrive and the end of next week, will let you know how it goes with it

Fantastic, now we can have a trackball showdown!

I'm using the Logitech now both at home and at work, and will switch to the Clearly Superior Technology LTrac once they arrive. I hope and believe it will be clearly superior.

its the fact that they are not thumb controlled that I dont get them

I think that's probably the strongest feature of this thing. Using the thumb is a little awkward to me, precision suffers a little and my thumb gets tired. I think I can just rest my hand on top of this other thing. We'll see.

I have been using the m570 for years,. but I find the quality is starting to lack a bit, the last one did not even last 2 years before the left button started to be a bit wonky

and I dont like wonky, I want a cherry mx type of button 🙂

That's where the CST comes in. It's supposed to be made brutally well. You can actually even change the ball for a normal billiard/pool ball.

@carlw Would there be more controls that could utilize the Command pattern, ie. are there more controls that have

setOnAction

?

I'm making

commandProperty

and

commandParamterProperty

writable as well, so you don't need to bind unless you want to.
