@abhinay Test results

@edvin for @dr.fornax ‘s refactor…could he just provide a function that accepts the model elements and list of values for binding and returns a container (say an HBox) ? then he can manually add the container to the parent

@User uploaded a file: This is my current function

Icurrently use this function and it works for me. The only thing is that I would like to get the entries from the entry model instead of passing both parameters

I did not find a solution for this yet, bt it works for me. Onle the dirty check is missing and a few adjustments and I think I am happy with it

Is there somehow something like a div in html in tornadofx? Do I really need a VBox.dynamicContactElement? The VBox is not needed at this position

@dr.fornax You’d like to pass just the model in and have the function decide which is label, which is value, and which is items?

I would use a plain function and maybe put it in a class for namespace purposes

You might want to use dynamicContactElement in an anchorpane for example

AnchorPane is a good hint. Concerning your other idea is, that the name of the dynamic contact group etc. is not available in the model. Only the list of individual items that are shown in the dynamic contact area

I believe EventTarget is the appropriate superclass add(getContent()) } } fun EventTarget.getContent() = label(“My Content Here”)

Shwitching from VBox.dynamicContentElement is nt what you meant, I think. But using the plain function and putting it in an AnchorPane also not.

Okay EventTarget, I try it

EventTarget works for me, perfect

I don’t think it matters, but I think this logically fits better because EventTarget is general and there’s no particular affinity between your function and VBox (or AnchorPane, or HBox, etc)

with your question about <div>…are you looking for something with absolute positioning?

No, I just wanted something more abstract as the concrete VBox. EventTarget is absolutely the right thing

Very very goog, with your help I solved nearly all my problems and learned so much. No I have time to dive again a bit into kotlin and have a look at the Event Bus. I also tried JPro, but this does not seem to work in Safari and always crashes the browser 😞

@edvin Is EventTarget the canonical place to put a function like this? Something that needs access to the builders

JPro’s interesting, but I do straight-up web programming for web stuff (CakePHP mostly)

Yes, it was only a small test, looks interesting for an existing app. But for webapps I currently use PlayFramework with Scala

Your only issue is needing to aggregate >1 property into a single dirty flag set? The or() clause doesn’t seem terrible to me. You’re looking for something more like dirty(model)?

The solution I have with the or clause does not work correctly. Wehen I start the app, everything is dirty

@edvin, tried a couple of times to refactor, because I refactered to much in my eyes. I now have a question. Is ther a reason why we catch exceptions from tableview, but not from treetableview?

oops, thought i posted more info... is there a reason why resizecolumnstofitcontent is different in tableview and treetableview?

@dr.fornax I wonder if it's the null -> initial setItems transition that's making them dirty?

Maybe if you and/not the whole thing with an initialized flag or find something like stage.hidden....sort of like a special pin in electrical engineering

The strange thing is, when I enter nothing and click save, it is still dirty. If i enter something and save it it is no more dirty

I think I have to check this in my simplified example. With the current implementation it seems to be dirty all the time

I'm thinking of something like initialized.and( phoneNumberModels.dirty.or( email.dirty.or (...
