@ron This will for sure bite a lot of people though 🙂

remember the isBlank() isNotBlank() from yesterday

Hehe, yes 🙂

and I am already looking at another cornercase

with textformatter in textfields

Just wonder why I don't see it in my apps, I'm running with the latest snapshot.

Of course you are! 😆

if you look at the year textfield, its backing model is an Integer but I dont want the year formatted like an integer

so I am looking at the javafx textformatter

NumberStringFormatter I guess?

looks like I have to write that

That's a good old JavaFX quirk due to the inheritance hierarchy of javafx properties

just glancing at this, but watch out for Property<Number>

grins that is the tornadofx plugin at work

its a very simple program I wanted to just show some possibilities and to play with a more advanced validation where two fields are involved

that lead to the <string>.isBlank <string>.isNotBlank code 🙂

it also lead to the DataGridCellFragment

That's right 🙂 Good to have you back, Ron!

@ron Fix committed :))

grins I will checkout and build

@ron We need you here as you can see!

yup fix confirmed

this must be so rewarding for them to do, I am impressed with how tech can help people

Loading a fragment in a fragment anyone ever try that?

No, but i have a lot of fx:include nested stuff in fx apps. I imagine that composed technique would come in handy

Hi can anyone help me with this font question?

How do you bind lists and maps in ItemViewModels?

I've been doing it like this for any basic type, it's the only way I could actually get to work correctly, but it doesn't work for lists and maps

@plebian Why do you cast to SimpleStringProperty? What's not working properly without the cast?

@plebian Binding towards a list works, but you got to consider what's happening. If you do

val list = bind(SomeObject::list)

, you will get a

Property<ObservableList<SomeObject>>

. That property will contain the original list. If you make changes to the actual list, you're modifying the original list. If you however change

list.value

in your viewmodel to some other list, this list will be pushed back into the domain object on commit, just like any other property.
