@edvin I added you as a collaborator on the wordsearch_tornadofx project in case there are any inputs you have that would be easier for you to just make the code changes directly. I'll see any changes and be able to learn from them of course

@javafxpert Great, thanks!

Finally finished my Dragging Shapes blog post : https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_tornadofx_dragging.html

Nice, @carlw !

@javafxpert Sorry for not getting back to you on the wordsearch app - I hope to get some time during boxing week though 🙂

@carlw Very nice work on the dnd blog post. Clean code 👍

Merry Christmas to all of you...🎉

Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎉

Merry Christmas indeed 🙂 🎄

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas to all!

something persistent or we'll keep getting the same question as the chats age off

I think we should direct people to StackOverflow for that. It has a better interface, is faster and seems to be favored by Google and other search engines.

Interesting 🙂 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47956685/tornadofx-how-can-i-reduce-redundancy-in-tableeditor-of-data-classes/

is it possible to grab the $receiver for an event?

I'm not sure if I can use properties for tilesfx, I'm figuring out other options.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez The

MouseEvent

exposes both

getTarget()

and

getSource()

@javafxpert You've included a version of fontawesomefx compiled against Java 9, so that's going to cause trouble in a Java 8 based app.

I think the last Java 8 compatible version is available at these coordinates:

! I'll look into getTarget/getSource

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez uploaded a file:

@edvin source != $receiver && target != receiver. Maybe target is not what I thought it was?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez I would think that the target is a child of the receiver. Perhaps you can do

getParentOfType()

on that to get to the Tile? That's your goal right, identifying the tile? You should be able to solve this more easily with a custom dnd payload though, so you don't have to guess. But if you look at the parent hierarchy of the target you should find your Tile I think.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez taking a step back, can you track more than just the singular color in a variable?

ex, "draggingItem" rather than draggingColor. This could be a general data structure and not an actual Node

Yeah, that would make much more sense.

don't forget that in my example, I'm gathering the events at a higher level than the individual node. I think source for the PRESSED is the toolbox container and RELEASED is the workArea container
