Ahhhh gotcha!!

sorry - probably should have used a thread

ItemModelView is probably the context to look into though. Oddly enough in my project this ISN'T a pattern i've had to use just yet 😄 ... but usually is. I need to look into that more as well.

Hopefully the documentation has been updated on how scopes work! I'll check. Bit yeah, I'm pretty sure this can be accomplished with contexting, without any kind of lightweight threads :)

Scopes

are great because TornadoFX streamlines the way you control your context and what subset of an instance may be passed around

As soon as we get TornadoFX for Java 11 out, I will help update the guide.

@thomasnield I'm taking a little break from injection molding now, so I hope to be able to make that happen soon 🙂

Hello, I just set up a new intellij idea with the tornadofx plugin. When I want to test my super simple View I get an Exception:

Any Idea of how to fix this? Thanks!

Found the Problem - I used a way to old jdk (used 1.8.0 25 updated to 1.8.0 172)!

@Nico Smeenk Minimum JDK version is u64 I believe, but there is no reason not to run the latest 🙂 hehe

u25 doesn't even have the alert dialog classes 🙀

u40 was a big one 🙂 The early days 🙂

What's the best way to use type-safe CSS to change TableView selection color?

Untitled.kt

@thomasnield would it be just

s(cell) { }

?

I'm having a hard time reproducing this... but I've had a lot of problems with

resizeColumnsToFitContent()

on

TableView()

causing cells containing

Node

items to disappear.

do you have a factory or format that might not be recycling stuff correctly?

@carlw negative. I'm doing my darndest to reuse the

Label

items. Everything works fine until I use

resizeColumnsToFitContent()

and then all Nodes residing in TableCells disappear

This was my self-contained example, but I can't reproduce behavior here:

-.kt

I'm kind of curious to see if this was resolved in Java 11, but I know there is some skin voodoo in the implementation of that function

the label property looks a little sketchy. do you have the problem if the apply is taken out?

@carlw I do still have a problem

I really think something in

resizeColumnstoFitcontent()

messing with skin stuff is causing the issue

i haven't found the binding of screen geometries to be very stable

like chaining together a bunch of preferred width and height settings to make a faux-AnchorPane

Issue also exists with

smartResize()

Oh well, I'm going to write this down so I don't forget it again.
