hm ... now implementing my own cellFactory, overriding TextFieldTableCell, as I do not see another way to format editable cells

@iari I did the same thing

Overwriting TableCell

have you tried StringConverter?

for formatting a makeEditable() cell? Or to make a cellFormat-cell editable? ^^

Ah - by format i mean style (colors and stuff) - sorry for the inacurate expression

Yep,

TextFormatter

refers to a special stuff that checks table cell input

its a cheap reimplementation of what cellformat does, but using TextFieldTableCell, i.e. only for strings probably missing something ... but so far it works.

@carlw I am not entirely sure if I had started working TornadoFX at the time of @edvin 's recording. However, his was one of my favorite Talking Kotlin podcasts!

@iari if you need more examples on cell text formatters, string converters and factories, you can take from my academic project https://github.com/ValV/Directorium/blob/9f911689bdfc81b617cc47414a8a7d2c3135300a/directorii-nucleus/src/main/kotlin/com/github/valv/directorium/control/Data.kt#L177

Ah, I see you're also using kotlinx serialization (which has now migrated to main kotlin anyways ;))

There was a principle -- use serialization, JAXB was adviced, but I thought

kotlinx.serialization

would be better. Now it's builtin 🙂

same thought here. but im still struggling - I wrote some serializers for basic property types, and for some custom ones that I need

but i haven't yet managed to get a generic serializer working that handles any property type

also I have a lot of this kind of ugnlyness in my model:

because the list serializer is automatically inferred, but I also havend been able to automatically have the serializer infer one for observable lists

kotlinx.serializer

does not have serializers for observables, only for simple lists, maps

I know- which is why I wrote some as I said.

for instance this:

(which doesn't really care properly about null, I just didn't care too much..)

I was too lazy -- thus converted

ObservableList<List<SimpleObjectProperty<Any>>>

to

List<List<String>>

and serialized via

StringSeralizer.list.list

Anyway it happened on demand

Aaah shit ... this code, I hate it: it.value.value = value.value.value

Is there any tfx hook to detect when a modal view is closed using the window

x

button so that I can fire off cancel logic?

try onCloseRequest on the modalStage variable

actually it's an

internalWindow

- right now I am just listening to the

managedProperty

on the view and checking whether the view was

saved

- otherwise I can assume it was cancelled.

@edvin in Dialogs.kt ~line 73, I suggest to apply the out-trick. without that, If I write my own wrappe, I cannot use varargs for the filter.

@iari On it!

I pushed a fix now. There are probably more areas where we could utilize out variance, so keep 'em coming.

Man, this injection molding business is taking a lot more time than I anticipated. Trying to stay afloat here 🙂
