So, since the

parent

of the

forwardButton

is

null

both within the

init

block and in the

onBeforeShow()

hook but is a child of the

header

, I assume that this could be a bug. On a side note: Why do we go to the grandparent of the

Node

in

removeFromParent()

if the button is a direct descendant of the toolbar? Maybe @edvin can enlighten me?

it might be the show event then rather than the beforeShow

that translates to the dock() functions

Regardless of how to get the button to disappear, my main questions are these: 1. Why is the

forwardButton

a child of the

header

, but the

header

is not a parent of the

forwardButton

? I’d assume that if you set one, you automatically get the other at pretty much the same time 2. Why does

removeFromParent()

check for the

parent?.parent

instead of just the

parent

when dealing with a

Toolbar

?

This is what I meant by dock() functions. It removes the button for you with a custom subclass. I think the parent / parent is from the parent of the forward button which is a contianer and its parent (the buttons grandparent) is the workspace

Ancestor might be a better name as in removeFromAncestor

Hey guys. Just wondering what the correct way to format a SqueezeBox would be. I have a hbox that has a menu icon in it along with the title of each fold, but am confused as to how exactly to implement it into the squeezebox itself. My code is laid out like this:

can you use the arguments to the fold function? pass in name and "menu_icon.png"

and remove the hbox{}

hmm, well it can take the name (which is one of the arguments) but cannot accept the menu icon in there anywhere, from what I can tell

digging up a PNG...

From the source docs, these are the arguments a fold can take:

title: String? = null, expanded: Boolean = false, icon: Node? = null, closeable: Boolean = false, op: TitledPane.() -> Unit

hmm icon..

w__Icon.php

okay, with icon = ImageView it gets the icon to appear! Only thing is that it's on the wrong side 😛 I can probably fix that with the styling options though (I hope). Thanks!

@Shan try contentDisplay

You're a star @carlw 🌟 Works like a charm!

🙂

Another SqueezeBox question, which from Googling around I don't think there's a good option for unless TornadoFX's implementation addresses this, but: Is there a good way to change the animation speed of the collapsing/expanding? It's quite slow by default. Makes my program seem laggy 😞 The only thing I can find via Google is to make a copy of the default skin JavaFX's TitledPane uses and change the interpolation manually.

@Shan do you consider this too slow?

If it is, try setting the isAnimated property to false

Yes unfortunately 😞 How fast is that animating? When I would make websites back in the day I usually consider anything under 200ms pretty laggy.

Fast_Open.js

Disabling the animation is a lot better, but for final production I'll probably want to add a quick smooth one

For now turning the animation off is fine 🙂 I'll try to look into changing the default skin when I get around to the final changes (so, in a few months probably 😛)

Thank you!

somehow missed the isAnimated() property in the titledpane javafx page

JavaFX >=9 might have opened up the animation API. haven't done a lot beyond 8 myself though

^ don't think so

I would love to have a Drawer with a Splitpane as contentArea instead of a VBox - but the Drawer class is pretty closed to extension 😕
