@Lucas someone recommended gluon a while back, I think it builds well with gradle but I have yet to test it out myself

TestFX is definitely the standard for testing JavaFX. As far as i know, it is the a standard as an open source solution. Gluon is a company that has heavily invested into the JavaFX ecosystem. They develop and maintain SceneBuilder which is a way to develop the UI of JavaFX in FXML format. They also have been trying to make it easier to dwvwlop JavaFX on mobile. I know they do other stuff but off the top of the noggin its not comimg

Is posible customize ComboBox<T>.makeAutocompletable "css"?

I have tried Debug mode too and it also doesnot work

@edvin fyi, tornadofx seems not to build under OpenJDK due to the use of

com.sun.deploy.uitoolkit.impl.fx.HostServicesFactory

or maybe I missed something

but I'm really impressed by the performance and ease of designing the UI (using the DSL I didn't try FXML yet, not even sure if it has any advantage for me)

@bjonnh you might benefit from reading this https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/thomasnield/rxjavafx-guide/details

there's also

runAsyncWithOverlay

@bjonnh ProgressBar and ProgressIndicator https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-guide/blob/master/part1/4.%20Basic%20Controls.md#progressbar

have a look at

runAsyncWithProgress { ... } ui { ... }

that worked for me

@Nico Smeenk have you seen this page? bind the TaskStatus fields against your UI. then, when the process finishes, the binding dictates the update https://edvin.town/tornadofx-runasync-with-taskstatus/

i think this problem is related to the component itself. running the SplitPane program on a laptop doesn't produce any of this flakiness because the cursor changes over and makes clear when the drag/resize operation is about to begin.

When having a tableview with multiple selection activated, is there a way to not have fun <S> TableView<S>.onSelectionChange(func: (S?) -> Unit) = trigger an event by element selected AND unselected in the table?

@kastork I think we'll have that eventually, because @nimakro is working on the view builder plugin. He'll need to write code that traverses the tree anyway, so I might steal that and add the file structure popup 🙂

@Nico Smeenk How about

val salutations = listOf("Herr", "Frau", "")

and just have the property be a String instead of a

Salutation

?

@napperley i just downloaded the file on ubuntu. it saved as a .mov and was playable with both the VLC and the default video player.

@Sola

fitToParentSize()

probably won't work with ImageView since it binds the

minHeightProperty()

and

minWidthProperty()

with parent's

height

and

width

property respectively. In case of an ImageView, you need to bind the

fitHeightProperty

and

fitWidthProperty

instead.

jfx/tornadofx/graviton-like things can help attack the problem by boosting productivity of in-house devs

but ultimately a lot of the slowdown comes from practices that make sense when the stakes are higher, like version control, unit testing, actually designing a UI instead of using a mishmash of cells that may or may not have copy/paste errors in them ...

@kastork Have you checked https://community.oracle.com/thread/2413087 ? If that helps, also checkout https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22089022/line-chart-live-update 🙂

maybe I'll just switch to what I used to do in my other projects, d3js in webview…

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez if you mean I should have used nameProperty not name, I think you're right! Changing the bindChildren function to

shapeItem -> button(shapeItem.nameProperty)

gives no error and does render two buttons...however the labels don't show on the buttons, leading me to believe I have to init my ShapeItem model after setting fields in the constructor. Strange though, as the examples I was looking at (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47802015/drawing-lines-from-viewmodel-tornadofx and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47681250/binding-a-view-to-a-changing-controller-property) seemed to imply you could use regular properties on each item in the list and they didn't have to be JavaFX properties.

@elexx We sorted this in the issue, right? 🙂 For others reading this, the issue is that

runAsyncWithProgress

operates on the button in button1, and on the surrounding container in button2, since the button builder scope is closed when he calls

runAsyncWithProgress

.

@Carlton Whitehead Your TextFormatter specifies a default decimal format, so you need to clear it. I answered your SO question 🙂

@gtnarg We could expand the wizard with the possibility to manipulate the order perhaps 🙂

The report mentions a "workaround". https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40561979/javafx-table-view-cell-reuse Not sure if that will work for you.

I'm working on a ui where tabs are added to a TabPane, and each Tab needs some initialization code like downloading data before the tab is activated. However, I don't want this data to be fetched for all tabs just because they were added to the TabPane, so

onDock

is no good. That got me thinking - is it correct to call

onDock

for a tab that's added to a TabPane, or should it just be called whenever the tab is activated? It might be better to just add another signal for when the component is "activated" or something like that. Any thoughts?

I'm currently migrating a rather smallish JavaFX project to Tornadofx. At the moment the project uses Fuel to do some rest calls. I'd like to use Tornados rest client instead. The problem is, the project is split up in a "service" module and two frontend modules. One of them is a gui (JavaFX) and the other is a CLI frontend. The service module has dependencies to Fuel, the GUI frontend to the service module and Tornadofx and the CLI frontend only to the service module. From a software architectures perspective, I don't want to add Tornadofx to the service module, just to use the Rest and Json functions. This would result in Torandofx beeing packaged in the CLI client, which feels rather wrong to me. Would it be possible to package more then one artifact when building Tornadofx, to get for example a tornado-lib.jar (containing everything not directly related to FX) and tornado-fx.jar and maybe for backwards compat an tornado-all.jar. Is there anything like this on the roadmap? Would a PR be appreciated? Is this a stupid idea? Need feeback 🙂

bad news: it's AWT based
