    for filters, the parents come first. i think you've seen this, but there's a section "Event Filters" and "Event Handlers" that describes the order https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/events/processing.htm

    you can switch to Event Handlers for the opposite behavior

    it's a little confusing because you register the class EventHandler in both cases to an event

    why isn't the button code a simple action?

    You mean setOnAction? I'm not 100% sure but I believe eventFilters will occur before setOnAction. That was the original issue I was having

    I'll try out EventHandler then!

    you have an action on the button from elsewhere?

    can you describe the sequence that you want? you might run into the same problem with handlers

    There's a call to a method sitting outside the view, yeah. I guess I want the drag events sitting in the view of the class, but I don't want those events to occur for certain elements such as buttons

    what i would do is build off the drag operation rather than adding more disassociated event objects
  • c

    carlw

    01/05/2018, 1:59 PM
    meaning that you can put logic in startDrag() to decide

    i.e. I want the buttons and the textfields to have its own eventFilters

    01/05/2018, 2:00 PM
    Ahh, that sounds like a solid solution. I'll have that done and see where I go with that

    are you dragging a colored tile onto the Color TextField?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    01/05/2018, 2:01 PM
    No, it can be determined by input. Eventually there will be a dialog for a color picker

    This project was rather a huge undertaking, but I'm surprised it's working this well even with the setbacks

    This will show up in a blog post today. It's moving objects on a canvas based on relocate(). It also accommodates transformations like scale and rotate.

    @carlw Ah, thanks a lot! I'm still trying to decide what to do for my first entry, but I will definitely get one out there next week!

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez There is a getter called 
    getWidth()
    , but you can't see it in that window. That's Kotlin speak for 
    .width
    , so just try that, it should work.

    maybe a simple properties-oriented post?

    like @jchildress mentioned yesterday, some of these chats should show up in something persistent

    @carlw I've tried to "star" some conversations/posts that I was interested in... it works, but not as good as I would like... i wish i could tag/categorize them... when i get time, i was going to see if you can "scrape" the channel and store it later... that was the only thing i could think of... or daily copy/save out interesting posts

    @edvin I'm going to to a "snap to" post in 2 weeks that will move a shape onto a grid and align it to defined cells

    @edvin if you're looking for an idea next week, i think a "back to basics" post on properties would be good. go from javabeans to javafx to kotlin more of a language primer than a heavy graphics focus
