When I try to replace the root by reflection, I get an error.

@S is this a slideshow?

Pretty much. I want it to act like one.

I'd start with something like this and work with the timer to advance the page https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_tornadofx_slideshow.html lol @Ruckus

thanks

The thing is (sorry if I wasn't clear) I need it to change views automatically, no prompting from the user.

i'd still start with the existing capability and look to advance the page with a timer. may be able to look at this later

thx

@carlw You're truly a content contributer for everything TornadoFX! I love that as I do google searches for TornadoFX over the last year, there's been an influx of dependable content to refer to

I was talking with a coworker about the increase for native desktop development, and she mentioned an interesting read about the world as it is today - The Inevitable - we live in a world where everything is web as a service, and no one truly owns anything. Web content does have poorer performance, resulting in low expectations for users

I’m pretty sure I added a slideshow component a while back, didn’t I? On my phone and on vacation, but I can check later tonight :)

I was going to use it for the TornadoFX talk at JavaOne but I didn’t want to risk a crash or bug on stage :)

@edvin yeah. i pointed them to a pagination{} example I blogged about. Robert is looking at the API to get a timer to step through the page indexes

@carlw I don’t remember how complete the slideshow component got but it might already support a timer

Or it would be easy to add

@carlw is this part of k4stem?

no, i just had him run my example and see if he can paginate using a button he created, then move onto a timer like in the earlier Close Modal examples I posted

k4Stem - Lab Assistant is plugging along with the basic open/save/CRUD functionality. we're going to refactor into an ItemViewModel

I've never tried to spurn off a replaceWith event without button actions, but I imagine a concurrent thread would have to occur to keep that time to change the pages. Could it be part of

asyncRun

?

could also use a straight-up javafx timer

fun startTimer() { val timeline = Timeline(KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(ADVANCE_INTERVAL), gotonextslide)) timeline.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE) timeline.play() }

Is there a wait function in kotlin/tornadofx?

delay an action or a wait/notify synchronization technique?

delay an action

use the timeline example i posted earlier, specify a delay, and cancel the timeline with a stop() when it fires for a one-shot

Gotcha. I'm having a little trouble with it; I don't understand what this line does, though I assume it takes the place of gotonextslide.

@S uploaded a file: Untitled

Nevermind, I think it's working-ish.

@S You configure the «factory» function on that line. Whenever the page index is changed, the factory is asked to produce a new element to show for that index. In this example it creates an ImageView with a url corresponding to the index
