@edvin maybe something like asNumber() to use a localized numeric string?

Instead of default string converter

Depending on what he wants to do 🙂

@edvin Both things. I have a property containing a business object and want to format it accordingly. Works with columns but not with labels.

I have created some code that allows me to add a lambda as converter:

inline fun <reified T> EventTarget.label(
  observable: ObservableValue<T>,
  graphicProperty: ObjectProperty<Node>? = null,
  crossinline convert: (T) -> String
): Label {

  val converter = object : OneWayConverter<T>() {
    override fun format(toFormat: T): String {
      return convert(toFormat)
    }
  }

  return this@label.label(
    observable = observable,
    graphicProperty = graphicProperty,
    converter = converter
  )
}

Yes, probably conversion in the model is better

@jschneider What I normally do is to add two bindings in the model object, and then do

label(myObject.label, myObject.graphic)

. No need to implement converter interfaces.

By the way, does anyone here use maven multi module structure? If yes, can you verify if this is a bug or my project setup: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-idea-plugin/issues/91

Is there a simpler way to call alignment type static utility methods on layout panes in TornadoFX? There are times in JavaFX when you want to use static utility methods such as the following: AnchorPane.setTopAnchor(someJfxNode, 0.0); AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor(someJfxNode, 0.0); Didn't know if there was a more convenient way. 😃

@carldea - here is an example

And that’s the pattern for vbox and hbox grow constraints. Gridpane too

Sorry meant margin

so nice! awesome.

It's very cool how Intellij copy and paste Java snippets will ask you to convert it to Kotlin.

Thanks CarlW!

Thanks Grant G.!

I would like to load a particular font where would the font file reside as a resource in the project and how do you use it in the Styles class? Assuming my project looks like the following:

create a folder under main called "resources"

have you used intellij a lot?

if not, intellij doesn't blindly copy everything (.properties, .css, .png) from the source directory; it only compiles code

so, you use other folder like resources -- marked accordingly in intellij or imported from maven -- that will do the copy. this will put any files at the top of the classpath:

ah gotcha! just like how Maven wants it, and intellij will mark the folder as resources.

If I wanted to not use the typed style class, could you still style it with an ordinary JavaFX CSS file? I will convert to the class way (StyleSheet()), but I was just curious, b/c I wanted to get things running first before I will refactor things later to be more TornadoFX-ified. 😅

I'm sure I can figure it out... I have access to the root. thanks.

we can help fill in the rest

@carlw looking at your app now!

@carldea you have access to the scene so you can put stylesheets there.

I would take the extra time to learn the Type Safe Builders. Most common styles can be found with expanded selectors that remind me of SAS and LESS

If there is a -fx style not found, there is a raw() function that you can kick out too
