    do I have to keep a reference to it myself?

    @javafxpert If Rectangle works better for your use case, you can always get to other views or controllers using 
    find<ThatView>()
    - but remember that if you create a Fragment that has a Rectangle as it's root, you can still just do 
    add<ThatFragment>()
    to any parent container, and the Rectangle root will be added to the children list of whatever container you called add on.

    Thanks @edvin. In this case, there will be 81 rectangles (one for each cell in the grid. Which approach (subclassing Rectangle, or using Fragments) do you recommend for that case?

    By the way, your todomvc example came in really handy for this application 🙂

    @javafxpert will this resemble the Rerversi design?

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez it's building for me now. the drag and drop is to take a module from the right and drag it to the left?

    correct

    then i definitely don't think the clipboard is a good idea. the user may have copied a color style that they pulled from the textfield and want to paste it in another text field after dropping a tile on the page

    they wouldn't expect something like "Tile@5727957c { ..." to appear the next time they paste

    when this gets going, there is the potential for features like dragging a URL from a browser and having your app ingest that and form a module
  • c

    12/19/2017, 11:40 PM
    that would be a drag from one app -- Chrome, Firefox -- onto your app through the clipboard

    That's true, the object I'm grabbing now has pretty full information, but one issue that I'm having is that it's hard to access the properties of the tile because they're private
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:41 PM
    I'll probably have to access them through properties made in tornadofx

    I was trying to access tile width/height to set the preference width/height. I thought that might be the reason I'm not making a copy of what I'm grabbing. As you can see, I try to add the object to the root view

    you're trying to get the following working? 1. login 2. double-click on the layout in the topleft 3. when the new window comes up, drag module 1 from the right to just under the large 5 square
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:43 PM
    something like that
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:43 PM
    you can click the first 8 in the first page
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:44 PM
    and a module can go to any module that fits the size

    is the lower-right properties panel driven off selections in the main workspace (left) or the small/large modules lists?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:45 PM
    The right pane is not connected to anything yet, but the idea is that once you drag-and-drop your module to the desired place, you can click that tile and edit tile color/hovercolor
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:45 PM
    and so on

    12/19/2017, 11:45 PM
    click the tile in the larger left pane? not the small/large modules pane?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:45 PM
    yes

    12/19/2017, 11:46 PM
    did you see my example from earlier?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:46 PM
    Chances are, I'll probably have that section highlight what tile you're on there too
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/19/2017, 11:46 PM
    yes I did - I didn't get a chance to work through it because I had some things pop up at work

    12/19/2017, 11:47 PM
    And unfortunately, I have to run off to see a show shortly, but I will be on late tonight to go through you code and see what I can do with it!

    take a look. i think it can apply to the modules pane
