Hey guys - I wrote the following piece of code, in order to style a tablerow depending on the rowitem. the itemproperty turned out to be null in the beginning, so i put it in onChangeOnce - but it doesn't work properly: the rows that are affected seem somewhat random... I agree with what most of you will think: this approach is very bad anyways. Is there a proper way to do this?

Oh, Carl you wrote something i didnt see -s orry, checking that out!

Ah ok - so you do have to do it in the column cellformat anyways - thanks a lot @carlw, you're great!

Just one Question: you only access "it" in the example - that is just the col alue. how do I access the complete row data?

what do you mean? the example has the complete record in "it" and the TableRow object in this.tableRow

As far as I can see, in it, there is only the value of the column - in my case a string - but not the object.

Ah, i can access rowItem it seems

alright, let me check if that works - here goes nothin ^^

yeah rowItem

however, when i scroll away, and then scroll back to the item it looses its format though

i wouldn't do the listener thing

you're going to interfere with the selection and focus models

I stay away from listeners as much as possible.

which listener thing?

it looks like this right now

omg ...I probably have to remove all the other classes, right? sigh ^^

itemProperty().listener

yeah, ditched that

I propose to slightly edit bindselected to allow to bind ItemViewModel<SomeInterface> to be used with it. https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/823

Good call Julian! I've committed a fix for this. There might be other places we can benefit from this same trick.

any idea what the problem is? or more importantly, what I should do to resolve?

ah, crap. Nothing builds

^^Looks like my file system became corrupted. Several kt files are now empty. I'll start running a diskscan. I think my SSD has a problem 😞

it's a good idea to run TimerTask in runAsync method in onDock and stop it in unDock? 🙂 i'm need download pdf every 5 seconds

@Roman Check out this article on polling. It uses ScheduledService from JavaFX so that you don't have to do your own timing.

I would just like to say. I was told to work on a wireframe mockup and was suggested just to make it in powerpoint because we dont really have anything else. I got half way through and got fed up when making changes was a pain... So i just started building it with tornadofx, no functionality of course just mock up... And it took less time and is way easier to manipulate. Fun times!

Too bad kotlin/tfx isnt the intended platform :(

hey guys, i want to make a simulation in tornadofx for a school project. using a game library isn’t an option as not enough time. is the best bet i have an animation timer?
