@edvin I know the issue is not with css dsl. Too bad javafx does not provide enough customization for -fx-graphics. Is there any way I can create a custom css property using dsl, set the image url and in code create ImageView from this url?

@anidotnet I think you might be better of with creating a custom skin so that you can control the rendering completely. You could combine that with custom css properties.

Maybe you don't even need custom properties, you could just pick up the backgroundImage property and load an ImageView with that

@anidotnet Have you considered supplying different images for the different sizes? iOS programs supply different sizes for adapting to different layouts and resolutions.

It may be easier to scale a small image for small sizes and a large image for lager sizes

I supplied exactly 16x16 svg image for this button, but -fx-graphics is not honoring it

if I supply png, it does but not svg

png looks good at 16x16?

no, that's why svg 🙂

I wish there be a property to set the image object instead of url 🙂

have you tried setting the button.graphic to SVGPath?

or maybe just a shape?

that might be more convenient...Circle, etc plus any Effects

Hello All, I am Vamsi-Vegi, been developing Spring boot apps in Kotlin, I thought of TornadoFx when I wanted to code gen DB artifacts in Kotlin, I thought of building a UI for it

I am happy to see that Tornado FX is tarted towards Kotlin Devs, even more interesting is the Apache Felix OSGI,

I hope to learn plugin development patterns and techniques

Hei @visakha 🙂 Excited to see what you'll do with it, especially OSGi. I've used OSGi for one app, but never needed it later. OSGi is a pretty cool technology though.

When the view starts, if the

someInteger

has a default value, the view displays the number correctly, but if it defaults to 0 and is later updated on the model programmatically, that input filter receives

controlNewText

as a formatted string containing punctuation, such as

1,000

Other than that, the control works properly as an integer-only text field. Any ideas?

q: for fragments, what's the advantage of creating them using the find() method with the Map<String, Any> parameter mechanism vs just creating the object via a normal constructor

I know

find()

puts the fragment into the

Scope

of the component

find()

was called in. Not sure if that's also how the Fragment gets its

Scope

passed down. It might just walk up its parents until it finds a valid

Scope

if you don't specify one when calling

find()

, if that's the case then not much difference.

@mikehearn don't you lose the dependency injection if you use a plain constructor?

yeah, that's what

Scope

is all about

well, for the

inject()

delegates at least

@mikehearn IIRC the find(Map) was for a requested idiom to bring up a dialog like "openWindow(userData)" which is familiar to Swing developers and other toolkits. A lot of the TornadoFX docs operate indirectly on the open View through a ViewModel. I think Fragment has it to be consistent

i see. i don't need dep injection inside this fragment, or at least not at the moment. but i'll bear that in mind

i'm using find for now

I created a quick test. A

Fragment

I create using its constructor still inherits the parent scope, some how.

so

inject()

and the like should still work within it
