Does that seem about right @Ruckus ?

Hmm.. I'm thinking

Pane.togglegroup

might as well create a toggleGroup if it doesn't exist. That way you can just add togglebuttons to a Pane, and they will by default all end up in the same toggleGroup. That seems very convenient to me, do you see any negative effects of that?

The change would entail changing

group: ToggleGroup? = getToggleGroup()

to

group: ToggleGroup? = togglegroup()

in the

Pane.togglebutton

function.

The result would also be that it would be impossible to not add a togglebutton to a group. I don't know if that's a valid situation to be in though.. Would you ever create togglebutton that is not part of any group?

Okay yeah, I was confused because I thought the explicit method was agreed to be convenient enough. Sorry.

I never added the explicit function simple smile Checking it in now!

Couldn't you just say

togglebutton(group=null)

to have a toggle button not in a group?

Random public service announcement. You guys might have noticed I screenshot a lot of things when documenting. It's easy to do with Imgur. Take your print screen or screen snippit, and paste to upload the image. You can then right-click the image and get its URL

The "Mastering JavaFX 8 Controls" is a nice/easy read, you'll blow through it in a couple of sessions. Lots of useful stuff and some important details I've never heard mentioned other places, not hard to digest. I haven't read the other one.

Thanks. Price is decent as well. All good.

@thomasnield: thanks for the book references!

Hi Mike! Tell me when you're ready to start working on the CrashFX integration simple smile I'll be happy to do whatever is needed if you're pressed for time, just point med in the right direction simple smile

hey!

just saw your screencast about the css dsl, very cool, it reminded me about this

i'll try and remember to experiment with it this week

by the way, just out of interest, where are you based? norway?

Yeah, the CSS DSL turned out really nice simple smile Probably some rough edges and stuff we didn't think about yet though simple smile

Yes, I'm based in Tønsberg, Norway, 1h drive from the capitol Oslo.

Watched the video on css. Super cool!

Is it possible to make the same technic with hot swap work for elements?

Thanks @voddan simple smile Can you explain what you mean by host swap for elements?

I may be wrong, but I think he means changing the structure of the app (adding/removing controls, swapping out panes, etc.)

Basically if you could edit the FXML and see the changes live without restarting the app.

Which, unless I'm mistaken, isn't possible with JavaFX.

I've played a lot with classloaders, there might be a way to do this actually. The trick will be transferring the state of the view to the new version. There will definitely be some caveats. Not sure if it's worth it.

Just reloading the FXML wouldn't be too hard though.

It might be useful for "prototyping" the UI live.

is there a major difference between reloading CSS on the go and changing view children on the go?
