@gtnarg I'd like it to be possible to use a View in the same way, to remove the restrictions placed by Dialog 🙂

How would a ListProperty<T> be notified about a change of a T::property occuring in a T element which is part of the list?

@iari If

T::property

is a JavaFXProperty, then it is taken care by the underlying observable model.

@edvin I noticed something with the

placeholder

functions we added a while back. They require the type of the container they are adding to for no reason, and it is a little ungainly. For example we have the function

inline fun <S, reified T : UIComponent> TableView<S>.placeholder(...) { ... }

. The

S

type doesn't matter, and requires you to specify the type of the

TableView

you're in as well as the type of

UIComponent

you want to inject. I would recommend replacing it with

inline fun <reified T : UIComponent> TableView<*>.placeholder(...) { ... }

.

Basically, instead of having to write this:

tableview(controller.details) {
    placeholder<MyDetails, EmptyTools>()  // Why does it matter this TableView is of type MyDetails?
}

We could just do

tableview(controller.details) {
    placeholder<EmptyTools>()
}

(Sorry, I can't file an issue right now. I'm at work.)

@Ruckus Nice catch! I'll fix it.

Fix committed 🙂

@edvin very simple PR

@tieskedh Nice! Will check it later tonight!

that's way to much credits for my pr 😉

is it an idea to add File to resourceLookup?

using the TreeView, is there an example somewhere of using a complex view/render for an element? I want not only the name but also some controls at each expansion level.

At least they included a picture of a runner when talking about "its own pace"

Kind of regret posting it now... seems like "fake news" 🙂

We'll see. Give it a day or so to see if the source pops up.

The author doesn't like JavaFX anyway https://www.infoworld.com/article/3016069/application-development/app-dev-undead-5-technologies-limping-along.html

if all you care about is the consumer space, they may be right. but for years now people have been telling me that java on the desktop and javafx are dead but every year at javaone I see company after company building amazing apps with it.

cross-platform desktop apps are niche, but i run desktop apps all the time. some are cross-platform like SmartGit

Finance loves desktop apps... at least in the US... Bloomberg and ICE....

yep

@abhinay you told me about https://github.com/FibreFoX/javafx-gradle-plugin couple of days ago, do you know if this works with tornadofx?

I keep getting this after the native build:

I have never tried it with TornadoFX but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't.

hmm, the minimal setup should work, right?

Can you post your project layout and the

build.gradle

file?

If the project is open-sourced, you can link it as well
