In swing they have WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING

In JavaFX they have stage.close()

To quit the whole app you can use

Platform.exit()

what's the comparison with Platform.exit() and stage.close()?

Platform closes the whole app, whereas stage only closes the current stage (window). If you have multiple stages open, the JavaFX platform won't exit till all are closed. Calling

Platform.exit()

triggers this and will close all open stages.

I see. Thank you

Hey guys, did you see the latest work of Dirk Lemmermann, looks pretty cool:

Hey guys got a few minutes to work on the guide, I am trying to unify the code snippets and I was wondering which one is the prefered way using JavaFx properties at the moment

Or this one:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@edvin I think it is the second one, since

getProperty

only creates

ObjectProperties

right?

@sep @nimakro I just updated the

runAsyncWithProgress

function so that it will automatically swap out the

graphic

property of any

Labeled

while the task is running. You can now simplify the code as follows, but you might need to add some styling to the button to size the progress indicator and/or button as you want.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@kasrasadeghi It's also important to notice that while the default behavior of JavaFX is to stop the app when the last stage closes, this can be controlled with

Platform.setImplicitExit(false)

. This will keep your app running, which could be useful for example if you have a tray icon.

@edvin Hehe I knew you would come up with a nicer solution. Oh remember, we discussed a while back, if the button only has one statement associated with it, like action in this case, you should do

button("Run-Task").action { /* ...*/ }

Just saves you a few curly braces 😉

@nimakro I know, but you can't do that here, because you want the

runAsyncWithProgress

to run "on" the button. If you do

button("").action { runAsyncWithProgress

it will actually run on the vbox, so it wouldn't yield the desired result. Important, and even a bit weird distinction there 🙂

Good that you brought it up, I think this would be a gotcha for a lot of people 🙂

@edvin Oh I see hehe didn't catch that one, this could be confusing

Yes indeed, but to "fix" that, the

action

would have to run in the scope of it's parent.

This will be one of those famous TornadoFX Puzzlers I think. 😁

@edvin Regarding my PR in the

tornadoFx-guide

, is the

getProperty

delegate still a valid option in some us cases, since it will always return

ObjectProperty<T>

?

@nimakro Will have to get back to you on that 🙂

I'm working on improving the workspace navigation so it behaves more like a browser. There are some discrepancies in behavior right now.

Workspace fixed and committed 🙂

Soon time for a release, it's been weeks! 😁

Well, atleast week.

Is it possible to add new property to typesafe CSS?

-rtfx-background-color

@alexp11223 Not sure if I am understanding correctly, do you want to introduce a new css clase and use it some were in a

view

?
