No need for any of that mess.

@ron Committed 🙂

Cool once this is running I will write a blog post about, I think it will be a nice showcase showing some of the tornadofx things (like rest calls, the new fragment you made)

tonight I will push the code to github

much cleaner

Fantastic! Yes, that looks alot better!

(waiting for a meeting, thought I might just do some fun stuff)

@edvin do you have any thought about the TaskStatus of timer task?

@edvin in the guide part 1, chapter 11 editing models and validations the very old syntax of

model.rebindOnChange...

is still used while we already have the 'bindSelected(model)` syntax

(guy needed for the meeting is already 40 minutes late, getting pissed)

@anidotnet the one-shot TimerTask scenario is covered. Is your use case for a task that never ends like some type of reaper process? If it’s a repeated action, I would stick with the Task so that you can check the isCacncelled flag over the iterations. For the reaper process — indefinite progress, etc — I’d publish a heartbeat event to interested components.

@carlw in my use case, I'll be checking for mails repeatedly in a timer task, and I want to publish progress report when I do that

@anidotnet are you thinking of the javafx class scheduledservice?

There is a period that can be set say every 5 minutes. Then within the javafx task you iterate through email accounts. Check the cancel flag on each interaction

gotcha! never used it though. I was just using timer() in kotlin stdlib

obsviously it looks like ScheduledService is much better choice for this

I'll take a look

Maybe we should add a builder for this that has a taskFactory @edvin ?

@anidotnet Sorry, got busy at work 🙂 @carlw Perhaps! I have a huge backlog right now, but if you guys know what needs to be done, maybe you want to add it? 🙂

@ron Will look at the syntax and update it!

@edvin I found some more small things I will fork and make some pull requests

@ron Thank you!

I'll also change that model rebind thingy

Nice! Do you have write access to the guide btw?

@edvin uploaded a file: Whois using replaceWith/slide anim + TextFlow and Hyperlinks

@ron glad you're back in action, ron. missed you at java one

@ron Haha, it took a couple of hours before I needed the

isNotBlank

observable myself!

See my weird ideas have merit

Always 🙂
