that's a joke for some of the other guys about the pace of development

i don't have a runAsyncWithProgress handy. my example's using MVVM so I don't have a Node that could be swapped out directly so I'm responding to an update event in the ui {} method

@pike You can use the JsonAutoModel and there is an inspection to automatically generate the ViewModel for you.

@edvin Very nice, and really good looking meeting room in your company 😉

@nimakro Thanks 🙂 This time I clocked in at 45 minutes without demos and questions. I think I can't really add any more content, just improve my slides.

I need help with some nice demo applications, small apps I could show and walk through the code.

@edvin what do you think about an animation demo? Were you looking for just business apps? Was thinking of expanding the Amin code I put up last night to move a player around obstacles

Business apps can have animations too, and there should be no reason not to use TornadoFX for games as well 🙂 It would be nice to showcase something like this at JavaOne!

"For a more complex TreeView<T> where T is unknown and can be any number of types, it is better to leverage star projection for type T." How do I use this? When I try to create a

treeView

using star projection it says I cannot use star projection as a type argument. Do I just pass

Any

as a type?

Using Any as a type it works - but doesn't look very clean imo

I'm having trouble with injection. I want to inject a ViewModel into a Fragment (following https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41198155/tornadofx-how-to-pass-parameter-to-fragment-on-every-instance) but when I call

find<type>

this exception is thrown:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: nl.x.y.z.ViewModel.<init>()

.

Suggestion: support

ObservableSet

next to

ObservableList

in for example

bindChildren

@pim It looks like your're trying to inject a ViewModel directly, you need to inject your concrete subclass.

Back later to answer the rest.

@pim I added support for ObservableSet now, good call 🙂

I am playing with the

FilteredList

from javaFX and noticed that

setAll

is not implemented, dose anybody know the reason for that?

Never mind just realized, that

FilteredList

is immutable 🙈

I need a jsonModel and itemViewModel and table constructor generator ...

Don't know if anyone else writes a lot of models and tables, but I just whipped something up in Python that takes pojos with string properties (I'll add other types as I go) and makes a jsonModel, itemViewModel, and a tableView with all of the data as columns

This is a link to the promised animation article on scrolling game backgrounds with TornadoFX. https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_backgroundapp_kotlin.html It's not using the new methods yet as I don't put links to SNAPSHOT builds. I'll update it when 1.7.9 is released.

cool, I'll check it out.

I'm about to do a chart page like this:

@User uploaded a file:

for now, I think I'll just port most of the code from there to tornado then try to wrap my head around the builders.

In the example, the whole page is loaded AFTER the api request, but if I wanted to make a layout with tornadoFX I'd want to set currentSales to an observable right?

Morning, about

set

support: I think a

listView

should support

sets

as well. There isn't a

setView

is there Seems to be more complicated than that

@User uploaded a file:

Shouldn't

dataGrid.focusedProperty

update upon selecting a child? I've created an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/376)

No, only

selectedProperty

should update on selection change 🙂 The focus model is not implemented, but it seems like it's the selection model you want?
