Do it, no ragrets

using listeners is probably a missed opportunity for a declarative binding. listeners would certainly work (that's all we had available in Swing) in all cases. i think the style is often cleaner by pulling in the many binding transformations that can be used instead

with the binding expressions, these can start to move into another layer like the ViewModel

you mean it restricts layer usage opportunities? I’m using it within one view, not sure it would cause any problems but I understand what you suggest.

that’s all we had available in Swing

are you working in JB?

Your solution works, I love how it looks

No JB, just been coding in Swing since it first came out. I'm a Sun Certified Developer (Swing) too!

You can get certified for that sort of thing? That's so cool

(I'm sitting passively for as long as I'm working through this Android book :D)

Cool, just having friends from jb who involved into developing of their software with swing as ui

uhhh...this was 2001

Yeah, Microsoft, oracle google and other companies are certifying people for some regards

checking on the certifications from oracle...i have 4. they were big at one point

Cool, in python world we have only shy meetups haha

(Excluding data science)

Btw, I’ve placed another question into general and answered just yet

i don't see one for Swing anymore. when they started, I got certified in Programmer (core), Developer (Swing + File I/O), Business Component Developer (EJB), Web Component Developer (JSP and Servlets). there were another two IIRC: Enterprise Architect and Web Services.

@chickenfresh did you try curSelectedItem.value in the when?

but whats your professional degree? Scientist or just senior? May be architect

consultant...at this point I do everything from strategic tech assessments to working NullPointerExceptions

when (curSelectedItem.value){
                    is ItemsViewInstance.Item1 -> view.setPinnedItem((curSelectedItem.value as ItemsViewInstance.Item1).item.pinnedItemId)
                }

is that correct code?

do you need the cast?

before it was

view.setPinnedItem(curSelectedItem.value.item.pinnedItemId)

but complains as curSelectedItem.value is mutable property

try creating a val outside the when like i did to lock the value down

it doesn’t let me

as item becomes undefined

or i missunderstood?

Hi, is it possible to make TornadoFX work on JDK 10? I'm using Gradle 4.9, Oracle JDK 10.0.2, TornadoFX 1.7.17, Kotlin 1.2.61 When I run

./gradlew build

I get

e: Module javafx.controls cannot be found in the module graph

EDIT: Application runs successfully if I start it via main function from IntelliJ, so I guess it's my gradle config that is the problem. So it is probably off-topic here 😞

Hey, I'm thinking about possibly making another edit to documentation on viewmodels. I found in the workshop I did as I was explaining model views myself, I didn't cover why you need a POJO or data class on top of an itemviewmodel or a viewmodel. A coworker wondered if he could simply pass in the properties right in the viewmodel/itemviewmodel

I figured the reason this must be done is because the viewmodel/itemviewmodel works with immutable data and the best way to bind the data to the UI is to destroy the current object with a new one - based on the comments in the source code does this assumption seem to be correct?
