And again you are typing to fast on your tf keyboard 😉

@ron OK, let me try to just change it locally.

@nimakro Getting faster every day still 🙂

@ron http://theimdbapi.org is slow!

I know it is very slow and sometimes it will timeout

@ron Haven't run it yet, but I would guess the exception is coming from that you assign

item.title

to the label builder's

text

property, and that doesn't accept null values, but

item.title

is bound to be null at construction time.

This is one of the things with

cellFragment

you just gotta learn the hard way.. hehe.. Hang on while I update the code.

(Now I really hope that is the issue :)

Yeah, that seems to be it.

Your first reaction to my comment might be to change

item.title

to

item.titleProperty

but that will introduce another kind of bug. The code will run, but you'll get blank values. Care to guess why?

enlighten me, the list is correctly filled when it hits the ui thread

@ron Sure it is, but the Fragment is created first, then it is assigned to a certain cell later, then that cell will eventually get assigned an item and that's when the fragment's

itemProperty

will change to contain an actual item.

This revealed two issues. First is that I'm missing convenience function to connect a MovieModel to the itemProperty of the ItemFragment. So you have to do like this:

@edvin uploaded a file: Using DataGridCellFragment with an ItemViewModel - temp syntax!

The other wasn't an issue after all, I got confused 🙂

This code is ugly, but it let's you understand what's needed to use ItemFragments.

I'll add the convenience function now.

this is why I wanted the DataGridCellFragment, to make more complex cells

@ron Even my test code was wrong 😆

uho

who are you and what did you do to @edvin

All I can do is fix it 😁

@edvin uploaded a file: DataGridCellFragment with model - the right way

I've committed the updated version of

bindTo

, so the syntax above will now work.

running clean install now

once I have it running and I am grokking it I will add it to the guide

I have it running, now I will start grokking it
