Maybe you can etch out some typesafe builders? 😬

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/javafx/scene/control/skin/TableRowSkin

Anyone got any ideas

The import should be from the javafx namespace

It is not the only place where java 9 compatibility is broken. There is a disclaimer on the site about that. I think that to support both java 8 and java 9, one needs to use multi-release feature, since fixes for java 9 won't be backward compatible with java 8.

Thats frustrating to say the least because javafx is broken when on HiDPI displays using java 8

I thought that it was fixed in the latest releases of JDK 8, but maybe I am wrong.

You are wrong, they refuse to backport it

Maybe it is possible to use java 9 with a platform flag for java 8. I have not tried it myself.

😕

TornadoFX is not compatible with Java 9. You will run into several problems with that. Right now, it's not even worth porting it to Java 9, as Java 9 offers very little extra, and things would need to be changed around once more when we adapt to the decoupled JavaFX. I vote we stay with Java 8 until the decoupling is performed. Since we're writing Kotlin, Java 9 mainly offers problems and very little improvements for us.

Aye, I support this vote.

So, I created a View with a BorderPane that's supposed to fade in and an ImageView that's also supposed to fade in when the image is loaded. I managed to do it that way, but is there a better, TornadoFX way?

This isn't TornadoFX, but in JavaFX, there are some special purpose classes like FadeTransition that cut down on the boilerplate of KeyFrames. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/animation/FadeTransition.html

@st_aeon @carlw Indeed, and there are several helpers for such transitions (and other animations) in TornadoFX (check

Animation.kt

)

You can use

imageView.fade(<http://300.ms|300.ms>, 0)

to fade out and

imageView.fade(<http://300.ms|300.ms>, 0, reversed = true)

to fade in.

(Or

imageView.fade(<http://300.ms|300.ms>, 1)

to fade in if your image is already faded out)

Thanks a lot, I don't know how I managed to miss the fade method when I literally had a method named fadeIn...

how do I extend a builder? -- figured it out by reading Tornado Code.

hi there - small off topic my friend (works with scalafx in production) recently have said

kotlinfx > scalafx

😁 by kotlinfx he means tornadofx

Anyone using JFoenix with TornadoFX? Specifically I would like to use the JFXDecorator class...

JFXDecorator Demo

I've seen examples of overriding

start

in the application class, but wasn't sure how to grab a reference to the "view/node"... to decorate

I have been using

JFXDecorator

in a project. I create a view with

JFXDecorator

as the root and subscribe to an event that passes a

UIComponent

through and set the

UIComponent

as the content of the

JFXDecorator

because you can only instantiate one in a JavaFX lifecycle.

here is an example https://github.com/bkenn/KFoenix/blob/master/src/test/kotlin/kfoenix/JFXDecoratorEventBusTestApp.kt

Thank you very much... trying now...

Seems to work great... thank you...

@bkenn your comments state the following The JFXDecorator should not be used more than once in an application's life cycle. I was planning to open multiple "windows" in my application... Is that not recommended?

I tried in a very simple plain JavaFX application and it seemed to work... Or I didn't get any exceptions or noticeable errors...

I was about to try it with yours and just saw your comment.
