..rinse-and-repeat in the callbacks for more Threads

i've also done wait/notify when integrating a JavaFX and Swing app but found that a little buggy cross-platform

I see, good to know

so, my guidance is to go with the nesting. this gets ugly when you start adding in the fail() and cancel() conditions but it is very reliable

yeah, that's a no go for me

when coroutines hit, i think you'll get something like await doLongRunningOp() conf = okToProceed() if( conf) await runConversion()

i wanted to write a reusable function that would execute a ui update after a set delay.. something like:

enqueue {
   // do update
}
// compute some other things
enqueue {
  // another update
}

why the delay?

for debugging

@poohbar If you don't use TornadoFX helpers, you could do something like

thread {
    sleep(delay)
    runLater { phase1() }
    sleep(delay)
    runLater { phase2() }
    sleep(delay)
    runLater { phase3() }
    // ...
}

lol rubLater

thanks, I will try this 🙂

Oops 😁

(You may have to use

Thread.sleep(delay)

. I don't remember the context of

thread { ... }

off the top of my head.)

it has no context right if it takes

() -> Unit

?

yes, thats what happened with my naive approach

when reviewing javafx code...i always read "runLater" as "runAMinuteLater" and think of what the code would do

Well it's not like anyone is working on JavaFX anymore right?

That's not true. Here is the list of bug fixes/enhancement done to JavaFX in JDK 10 - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8197489?jql=fixVersion%20%3D%2010%20AND%20component%20%3D%20javafx

@edvin yes, that would be great! Is that located in TornadoFX samples?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Let me check 🙂

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez I found one here, but it's kind of out dated: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-kitchensink/tree/master/src/main/kotlin/tornadofx/kitchensink/samples/masterdetail/simple

I created too many sample projects 🙂

And didn't do a good job of keeping them up to date.

I really should merge at least kitchensink and samples.

fun countryCodeProperty() = getProperty(PhoneNumber::countryCode) 🙀

Yup, updating it now.

Done.

@edvin maybe you can post a todolist of examples clean up? some people starting out might be able to test their skills update the code and submit a PR to you

@edvin this is great! I've been looking at kitchensink extensively, I'll start posting issues/PR's on suggestions now that I feel more comfortable with kotlin/tornadofX
