    @poohbar the TODO app has a good example of this. A ListView renders a Label or TextField based on a list of Todo items. Double-click activates a cell for editing

    nice, that's exactly what I was trying to achieve. Thanks Carl

    it doesn't always work, but I try to steer collection-related javafx UIs into existing components packed with special cell renderers

    versus something like vbox { texfield(items[0]), textfield(items[1]) ...

    @poohbar you mean in terms of the class hierarchy?

    in terms of what should one use for what

    Use SimpleListProperty if the list itself is being observed in addition to what's in it.

    SimpleListProperty ISA ObservableList

    @carlw I bet you've run into that? 🙂 My way works, but I suspect there might be caveats

    I also have this series that follows a desktop trend: https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_flatwinapp_1.html

    @edvin @carlw I'm not totally sure if I understand the issue presented, but I did something sort of similar where I created a stackpane as the root, borderpane as my main view, and a transparent overlay like so:

    I use it to drag and drop over a borderpane, and it works great for me

    I'm also having issues understanding https://edvin.gitbooks.io/tornadofx-guide/content/part1/11.%20Editing%20Models%20and%20Validation.html --> I have binded my text field forms to a module object, but I wonder if it's possible to programmatically set values for those texts field (say, by selecting a component)

    @carlw thanks for that link, I forgot about it, maybe it’s time to spice up my app with custom window borders 🙂

    @carlw Thanks for the link, I suspected the platforms might behave slightly differently 🙂

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez We have some samples showing master/detail editing, where selecting an entry in a tableview fills out a form with the values for the selected entry and allows them to be edited. Would that help?

    For debugging purposes I am trying to space out some redrawing actions in one of my methods. I achieved it like this:
    Copy code
    runAsync {
  Thread.sleep(1000);
} ui {
  // update first piece of UI
  runAsync {
    Thread.sleep(1000);
  } ui {
    // update second piece of UI
    runAsync {
       ...
...
}
    As you can see each additional update step would have to be nested deeper and deeper in the blocks. There surely must be a better way?

    yes. coroutines

    we don't have history in slack, but i run into that horrible nesting all the time

    wrote a few messages about how coroutines clean this up

    would you be so kind to whip up a short example or maybe just a few pointers to help me?

    i don't think their officially out, so i haven't been blogging about it. right now, i have the nesting around places where I need a user action interspersed with threaded activity. i have one block that's 3 levels deep

    so if I understand this correctly, TornadoFX's 
    runAsync .. ui ..
    construct does not use coroutines?

    right. that's just a single Thread packed with callbacks onSuccess (or onFailure + onCancel)
