@chickenfresh They should, but you should not need to call

setCellValueFactory

manually either. Just use the column builder to assign the property:

column("My property", MyObject::myProperty)

there were tfx shirts?? WHAT

@edvin,

column

is a typesafe builder for

tableview { ... }

as I do understand, how to use it, when I need to create columns dynamically?

@chickenfresh You can use it dynamically as well, just call

yourtable.column()

whenever you need to

@chickenfresh In essence, if you need to create TableColumns somewhere else, just pass in the TableView to that function.

Hmm, that was the the problem -- I've created columns list separately, and passed it to the

TableView

object via message, and use

tableview.columns.setAll(myColumnsList)

@chickenfresh You can pass a function that operates on a TableView instead, and apply the column builder function to the TableView in the receiver

You can of course create the columns manually as well, but it's just more work and more messy code than doing it with a reference to the TableView.

With the approach I describe above you don't need an actual reference to the TableView in the function that creates the columns though, so you get nice separation between the two as well.

Why do you mention me?

@chickenfresh Haha, sorry 🙂

I thought that I can separate column creation code from out the

tableview { ... }

, but I feel I'll wring my neck doing it, thanks for advice

It should be fairly easy to achieve this separation. Let me create an example for you

Add_table_columns_without_coupling__using_events.kt

Most of the code is boiler plate to set up the app, the meat is in

TableChangeEvent

and

DynaController

Obviously it just creates a new name column every time you hit the button, but you get the point

Great, I'm trying to do it for several days with JavaFX approach. Original example was for Java (refused to use Java, but stuck)

Good luck 🙂 I think you'll have an easier time with this approach.

One more thing, is it possible to pass dynamically added different properties from a list, for e.g.

TableView<List<Observable<*>>>

, I think I need to store properties not in a predefined class like

MyItem

, so I don't know how to get

::nameProperty

from there

Or there's some more elegant way to do that?

@edvin, is this the case, when I should use

ItemViewModel

(

TableView<MutableList<ItemViewModel<*>>>

)?

What does suffix -FX mean in names: JavaFX, TornadoFX, SimpleFX, ScalaFX, GroovyFX, ClojureFX?

It's a common way to shorten the word "effects" in various media industries. Other examples include VFX for visual effects and, SFX for special effects, and even just FX to include all the forms (special, visual, practical, etc.).

See this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30615235/what-does-the-fx-in-javafx-stand-for

Oops... But word "effects" seems not quite precise reflect GUI

Tribute to the tradition

@edvin With the changes to GitBook, you may want to change the links to the guide to

so people don't get the "Pleas lon in to preview this content" page.
