Yeah, I'm replacing the loginscreen with the main screen

the Stage starts off small with the login screen and then goes into a full screen with the main?

Exactly

then i would set the Stage to be initially not resizable. Then, on successful login, set your window parameters (full size) and also set the resizable flag

You can’t set a Node to be say 100x100 and have the window hold up its resize operation. Same with a SCene. That’s all driven through the Window (subclass Stage).

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez it sounds like you’ll want to skip the FXML. There’s probably a good sized mismatch between the FXML hierarchy (vbox -> anchorpane -> hbox) and the generated front-end web code

i think your tiles design looks good whatever the middle layers end up being though

I'm trying to follow along @amanda.hinchman-dominguez, I want to make a dashboard like layout too

@pike if you've been reading today's convo, I had FXML originally, but you might want to look at the solution @edvin wrote in regards to Tiles. Let me know if it turns out a little weird for you once you start applying tiles that take up more than 1 columnSpan/rowSpan though

@Juan I’ll post a little code after dinner if my Slack description isn’t clear

The results don't always seem to be consistent, and I've been messing with it for a couple hours now to try and get the results I want, but to no avail. Let me know if you happen to come up with a solution!

I haven't tackled it yet, but I want to make some kind of free form scrollpane where my users can add as many "widgets" as they want and resize them

I'm using a datagrid on the side

I'm going to have pre-set widgets though, comprising of 2 sizes

I proposed a circle flow chart for JavaFX, which is the holy grail in transportation visualization at my company. He nailed it in a morning. https://github.com/HanSolo/charts/issues/3#issuecomment-345504142

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez I'm not sure how I could do that. I want to edit its color, the button has the same color so it can't be seen

@Juan Here's a sample of one view (your login view) transitioning to another view (your main view). I'm using the onDock to set the Stage's resize value. Note that this might not work in an initializer since the OS window objects may not have been allocated yet.

Thx, it works. @carlw Do you know if it is possible to edit the progress indicator?

i haven't worked with that yet. you might be able to pick up @edvin's style using ScenicView. Otherwise, have you considered adding a general CSS style? maybe -fx-progress-color?

progressIndicator {
            accentColor = Color.WHITE
        }

@carlw 😄

Thinking about my attempted approach to implementing drag-and-drop with custom data objects.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez uploaded a file: Untitled

Created a custom object, and I think I could utilize DataFormat to wrap around that custom object and use clipboard the way OSGI uses dragboard. In my kotlin class, Dataformat is highlight red and says "DataFormat does not have a companion object, and thus must be initialized here". I don't know too much about companion objects, since there isn't a lot of documentation on the topic (other than for use in css classes). How can I assign it as a companion object?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez are you new in Kotlin, or are you mixing up java and kotlin in your example? A field is written as

val name: Type =Type()

Here

Type()

is the constructor, so you don't need

new

.

val

stands for a field witch you can only read.

var

is a field with a getter and a setter If your new in Kotlin, I recommend you to follow the kotlin-koans http://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/

imo reading the reference was way more useful as someone who already knew java, but ymmv

@tieskedh Thanks for the decapitalize PR. Didn't even know about that little gem in the stdlib 🙂

was this again good luck, or are you blazing fast?
