@pike Where are you stuck? Do you have existing controls that you want to update as the task is running?

Thanks, I'll read it on the train

Conceptually i know what to do, make an observable model, bind properties to controls, update via controller api response

Or I'm wrong?

@pike I think I made several screencasts that showcase this 🙂 I can try to find one tomorrow, and there should also be an explanation in the guide. If not I will add an example.

I was looking at your taskstatus example, i just can't quite get the json into the observable

I could create a straight up example with a screencast this coming weekend.

If anyone's interested in code signing, I put up some notes on this SO posting about FX Launcher. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44919575/javafx-security-concern-while-deploying-app-using-fxlauncher-vs-java-web-start/45313948#45313948 There's a working signed and sandboxed JNLP that you can play with.

@edvin if I don't figure it out first

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

if I have this code, how do I bind "start" to the label?

You can inject a ViewModel and update that from your controller. Here is an example that just hard codes the Json payload.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

This is just one option, it might not be appropriate depending on how data will flow in your application.

Here is another alternative, this time just instantiating the ViewModel directly in the View and updating it with the item return from the REST call.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

I'm also using

mData.asyncItem

instead of 'runAsync` and then assigning the result to .mData.item`

If you don't want to use

asyncItem

the data retrieval would look like this:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

Hope this helps 🙂 I'm off to bed 🙂

thanks Edvin, where is mDataModel()?

never mind, didn't scroll bacck!

that's exactly how I thought it should work, I just couldn't figure out how to load the model into the itemViewModel 🙂

once more, Thanks so much Edvin!! 🙂 Now I just need to figure out how to update the chart

Alright, so, if I have a Property<List<DailySales>>() in my itemview, how do I get the list data?

again.. my dumbness strikes again ... brb

got the lists, how do I format the label/text fields?... I feel so dumb..

don't. a lot of us are coming up to speed with not just tornadofx but also javafx and kotlin

lol when I read that, I thought you meant "Don't format them" lol

yeah, I just dove in, it was a lot "easier" with java8 and fxml
