@dr.fornax have you considered a list view? It seems like there might be a lower impedance with your data. The selection model would be especially valuable

@dr.fornax are you having a problem with the pos variable not being maintained properly?

@carlw I thought about a table or listview but this breaks the design since I would like it in the way as in google contacts and would need 5 tables for different types of data then. And yes, the pos variable seems not to be maintained properly .

Here is an example of the current UI. I want to write combinations of Label, Number and if it is the primary number in a database and manipulate it via UI

Maybe I did not select the correct datatype. But I’m a little bit overstrained by the number of different lists and dtatatypes in Kotlin, JavaFX, TornadoFx and I do not really understand how this property magic works exactly.

I'm not by a compiler now. I think the composite component -- even if made generic into a type / value pair -- that's repeated would be best. Tablerow , etc is going to make a better container as far as resizing and scrolling and selection go. I can give you some suggestions later. In the meantime, check out this example project that maintains a single item as a check box + textfield + button https://github.com/edvin/todomvc

@dr.fornax We'll get this working, no problem 🙂 I will get back to you with a solution based on your current approach tonight.

👍 You are amazing

@dr.fornax This channel has lots of helpful and competent people 🙂 Sorry for the uncharacteristically late reply on this, I've taken on too many projects lately. Working on a Kotlin Video course, prepping for my talk to JavaOne if it gets accepted, and I'm also making a keyboard from scratch, so I'm designing the PCB right now.. Oh, and my day job.. hehe.. Hectic times 🙂

@dr.fornax I need to finish another video, then I'll look at it again. Have you uploaded your code to a repo so I can just check it out and run it? That would help me a lot time wise.

@edvin I fully understand. I am happy about all help but know that you all have other jobs and projects. If I can somehow help you with something, also embedded, let me know. I would like to establish Kotlin and TornadoFX as one of my main skills but it takes time to reach the level to give something back.

The project is currently not inside a repo but it is not much more than the classes I sent you and some database stuff.

@dr.fornax We're happy to help 🙂 OK, no problem. Maybe you can populate some test data for me? If not, don't worry, I'll get to it 🙂

@edvin I will have a look, but I only started a few days ago, so there is no content inside the database, only a few local entries with first and lastname

@dr.fornax It's much easier to start with static data in an ObservableList for example 🙂

I will try to get the database working, today and tomorrow. But I’m really excited about Kotlin. I worked for more than 10 years with java and it seems to solve all the problems I had 😉

This is my current database, nothing more. Static data

Perfect, that's all I need 🙂

This video might take all night though.. grr..

I will look at your issue first, hang on, let me set up the sample.

@dr.fornax Your classes are not complete, for example the ContactView class is missing a root field. Please post the whole thing, including the Cotnact object in one blob 🙂

If you need some help or review let me know.

There is no contactModel field in ContactView either 🙂

This is inside my Main Class -> val contactModel = ContactModel(Contact())

Please post your complete code 🙂

It was the only way I could share the contactModel between a table and the ContactView

No, you should use injection. Just post what you have and I'll improve it for you 🙂

@edvin I have to cleanup it first since there are plaintext password of a customer inside. Can I send it probably privately?
