...looking for a treeview example

Thanks @carlw . I assumed I was doing wrong

Hit F2 to rename; right-hand side shows the underlying model

Oh great, thanks. Digesting now

You'll be glad to see I'm using userData!

F2 is exactly one of the key events I have triggering this process 🙂

double-click renames too

by putting the cell in edit mode

yep, isEditable enables, given I have a TextFieldTreeCell

@carlw ah no, it's not what I mean... It runs and I've got my code to do the renaming etc.

I have a context menu that operates OVER the items. So if I right click on a folder, it shows Add, Delete, Rename

If I then select Add. I want to add a node and stick it straight into edit

this might be into a LARGE folder, so I need folder to expand, scroll to my new node and then stick it to edit()

I can't chain those three events together

individually, I can expand the selected item. I can add an item into the children and I can force the Tree into edit on my node. But not all together. I'm missing something obvious

in swing, I would use a scroll method after expand and then edit. In Tornadofx/JavaFx, I don't understand how to make one of the UI calls wait for the next

Ah, is there a callback mechanism?

not from the scroll

It might just be a better UI experience to pop up a modal. In that way, The user can then cancel out of the add. If they select ok, I can then populate tree and trigger the form they need to complete for the file

@carlw i would just like to say, you sir are a saint.

TorandoFX shoutout in the Kotlin 1.3 announcement blog post: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2018/10/kotlin-1-3/

in a column, makeEditable() does not seem to work together with cellFormat: Both seem to write their own version of a cellFactory. Is it possible to format a tablecell (i.e. bgcolor) and still make the cell content editable?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez "I've always used native Desktop development essentially to do the work that I don't wana do" <-- that is what im doing as well - up to now unofficially, not getting support from the company yet, but hey - this is what TornadoFX among other thigs is really perfect for.

Doing this manual copy-paste stuff as a developer feels degrading - to put it mildly.

Native desktop is not widely advertised because even if it is institutionally backed, companies would not be keen to share anyway

But agreed, you will never catch me making manual copy/pastes hahaha

That's not what what we're paid to do 🙂

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez were you around for Edvin's Talking Kotlin?
