    On an unrelated note - I sort of misunderstood the use of 
    evt.consume()
    originally: the function is meant to stop other mouse events from bubbling up - what I would like to do is to prevent an image tile from dropping on to an original grid tile by simply stopping the process from running.

    I don't know if that's possible - I'm not sure if returning an error is appropriate because there is nothing about dropping a tile that would produce a code error. I just want to control the behavior of running these events

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez I'd stay away from scopes for your requirement unless you were opening up a second (third, fourth) main window of different projects with a separate Tiles browser and Tiles canvas. There's a risk of "scope impedence" when you start mixing a custom scope + prototype + singleton. When this happens, you start tracking instances which defeats the benefit of the custom scope.

    I think you can have a validation on the drop target, maybe even the highlight action, that prevents the drop operation.

    Absolutely. Yeah, that makes sense. 
    Views
    are not singletons, right?

    Views are singletons. Fragments are prototypes

    find(View) -> the one and only one instance in the app; find(Fragment) -> a brand new instance "prototype"

    I see. Originally, I was using a function to pass information from a user event through the fragment to the view

    I may have to refactor that for a better alternative

    @carlw I did figure that much out yesterday with 
    var globalvar = find(FragmenClass:Class)
    and received a Java StackOverflow error. My belief is that the drag-and-drop methods are too heavy
  • c

    nothing should be receiving a stackoverflow. you'd have to post your code. there's probably an infinite recursion involving find()
  • c

    ...maybe a cycle where one find-er is calling another components that's trying to find the original

    IMHO scope should be used only for MDI; everything else can be Singleton and Prototype

    MDI = multiple document interface...like multiple IntelliJ projects opened up that are totally self-contained mini-apps

    That makes sense. I was making a reference to kitchensink, that had been using models for scopes https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-kitchensink/tree/master/src/main/kotlin/tornadofx/kitchensink/samples/masterdetail/scopewithdata

    passing a new model would find the view

    I can't switch it around (view encompassing a fragment) because the initialization would happen once meaning the call for a scope would not change

    (comparing some javafx code to tornadofx...) you could also make the single instance selected property part of the view model. A selection on the TableView (master) sets single instance which can be picked up through injection in the details fragment

    @edvin might be able to describe what he does with his CRM since that predates scopes. not sure if he felt it was worthwhile to rework his app

    @carlw that could be a good alternative

    a ViewModel would contain an ObjectProperty<ObservableList<DomainObject>> for the master table and an ObjectProperty<DomainObject> for the details

    @mariofelesdossantosjr It could be worth writing a small app that takes all available validation messages, using English as a core reference library in a json that marries those messages to keys
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/03/2018, 2:18 PM
    Then substitute those validation messages for Lang.stringreference("key"), and write a middleware the considers what language you use
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/03/2018, 2:18 PM
    that way, you can have it done for any language.

    gettext is pretty good and better than jdk localization imo

    How do I set a table view from a json object ?

    @carlw I actually rewrote all the relevant parts of the CRM to use Scopes 🙂
