@Sola We have the

SortedFilteredList

to solve these problems. It also has a

refilter

function, but you can automatically bind it to a property so it will refilter whenever you change the input in the textfield.

Typical use case:

@Sola Use the

filterWhen

function and just give it the

textProperty()

of the textfield, and the following function block will be reevaluated and assigned to your predicate whenever it changes.

WOW! super nice ! I didn't notice that

@edvin I am trying to add a specific button to the worspace toolbar when a view is docked...I am used the example from the guide but it is not working...I am using my own implementation of a workspace .. I debugged a bit and it seems that the view is not getting my custom workspace but rather a new instance of workspace. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

@nimakro Maybe

FX.defaultWorkspace

didn't get configured correctly at app start. Try doing

FX.defaultWorkspace = YourWorkspace::class

to see if that solves it. Also, post your app class if possible.

If the type of

primaryView

for your app is a subclass of

Workspace

, it should be configured automatically as the default workspace type during app startup.

This would come into play if you try to access the workspace from a component in a scope where no workspace is assigned yet.

@edvin Yes my

primaryView

it the workspace and I think the problem is that I am trying to access the workspace form a component but the workspace is not set yet

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@nimakro OK. Is there anything we can do in the framework to prevent confusion about this?

Let me see...

My eyes! Why don't you use the

listmenu

builder? 😁

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@edvin Because if I use the

listmenu

builder it will add it to the toolbar and not to the left side

Where do you access the workspace before it's created? I don't see it in this code.

@nimakro

root.left { listmenu {

If that doesn't work, it should be considered a bug.

@edvin Well I do a

dockOnSelect

and then I set the

activeItem

right after that and that will dock the

View

and at that point I guess the workspace is not set as a default yet?

@edvin Oky just checkt if I don't set the

activeItem

in the workspace and run the app

and then select the Item

it works as expected

@edvin OK, that sounds about right. You could wrap it in

runLater

while we find a better solution.

You're actually in a workspace instance when you do this, so we might be able to use that...

@edvin OK

runLater

works, that's fine

for now

Looking for a solution.

The listmenu tries to access it's workspace, but it could actually just check if it has a workspace in it's parent hierarchy first.

@edvin Yeah I think I should have thought a bit more about the

dockOnSelect

function 😀🙈
