05/12/2017, 2:42 PM@danko9 it sounds like you are doing something squirrely in my opinion. Can you not inject a
or something? @edvin might be able to provide some guidanceController - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:44 PMif i were to inject a Controller, how would I pass it the parameters I need? @thomasnield - d
danko9

05/12/2017, 2:46 PMi have an application that has a TableView. This TableView takes a List<Type> and shows it. - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:46 PMI am trying to write a main that passes a particular List<Type> down to that TableView. - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:46 PMright now i'm just using a static variable. setting that List<Type> in my main and then having the TableView controller grab taht - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:50 PMi want to be able to run the same javafx application with different Lists - r
Ruckus
05/12/2017, 2:51 PMDo you need multiple applications or just multiple windows with different data? If you just need multiple windows, you should look into Fragments. - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:52 PMi want to run the same Application code with different lists at different times - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:52 PMnot within the same process - k
kastork
05/12/2017, 2:52 PMcould the list be in a file, and the path to that file be a command line argument? - k
kastork
05/12/2017, 2:52 PMlike read in a JsonArray - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:53 PMi could put in some hack like that - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:53 PMkey in a static map - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 2:53 PMetc. - r
Ruckus
05/12/2017, 2:57 PM@edvin It looks like the latest Kotlin/Native release has a GTK demo. Looks like we'll need to start working on TornadoGTK 🧌 https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/master/samples/gtk I wonder how long till we'll need TornadoQT or TornadoWX...?😱 4 - k
kastork
05/12/2017, 2:59 PM@danko9 If the list is an input to your program, it doesn't seem like a hack for the program to read it from a file. Maybe I'm still not understanding the use case. - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 3:00 PM@kastork in general i am running from intellij and writing custom mains, never running from command line - k
kastork
05/12/2017, 3:03 PMOkay, so again, in general, you want to create the list by hard-coding it in your main, and then pass that hard-coded list data into the Application? Do I have it right? - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 3:06 PM@kastork so I get the list from other code but yeah I am hard coding that list in the main like (val list=OtherCode.getListA()) - d
danko9
05/12/2017, 3:06 PMand then ideally App(list).launch()
