Ah, never mind, there just a bunch of nested classes.

Looks like internally it just uses change listeners. I guess I'll just do that.

@Ruckus Here's what I've come up with. It's only as good as the string conversion is simple

Yeah, I thought about that, but it ended up being way more overhead. When I dug into it, bidirectional bindings are just implemented with change listeners on both properties, so it ended up being easier to just do

picker.valueProperty().addListener { _, _, new -> property.value = new?.convert }
property.addListener { _, _, new -> picker.value = new?,convert() }

I'm doing this for a number of types, and some of them would have had some nasty string conversions.

i'd make one weak

Probably a good idea. I'll keep that in mind for when I flesh it out more. I'm still just testing some ideas.

java's bad with this. other programming languages don't think twice about giving a little extra info to the GC so that one side will give way to the other

Indeed

Hello. Does anyone knows how to mention a Var from a class in TypeSafe CSS file?

code on the left is at a TypeSafeCSS file. the right on is a file that has a class that creates a button. CSS is for the button

You need to have an instance of

SvgIcon

for that to work.

Thanks. I just try it real quick but it doesn't work. I'm going to try more tonight

Both files are located in same package. So i think no import is needed right?

I was working with Robert on styles this morning and had him download this tool: ScenicView.jar. We were looking for the child label of a textbox because "label" wasn't setting the font. So, we browsed and found "text" as in the screenshot below and used checkBox { text { ... to set the style This JAR lets you browse the running Scene Graph which is especially useful for picking out style classes. While we use Type Safe CSS, the style classes give you some insight into the set of functions. For example, the JavaFX style class "check-box" is represented as the TornadoFX function "checkBox". http://fxexperience.com/scenic-view/

@carlw uploaded a file:

There's a TornadoFX layout debugger that can be used too. I've been using ScenicView for years and am used to this. It's a Run Configuration in my IntelliJ so it's somewhat integrated.

This looks really useful! What are the steps to getting it set up? When I run the application, it opens for only a second before closing again.

@Kimberly H What version of Java are you running the jar on?

I'm running 1.8

I have experienced similar crash when directly running the jar on 1.8. You can either to run on Java 9+ or run the jar from within your application.

@Kimberly H you downloaded the java 8 version?

it's a runnable jar so you can just do java -jar ScenicView.jar

@carlw the jar has always failed to run on java 8 on linux for me 🙂

i'm on linux and i ran it

here's my copy

It always fails for me...

from 2015

This fails too...
