I have to pick a GUI for this app I'm doing… but I don't want to be stuck at java8…

how does that work to distribute javafx with an app?

@bjonnh A JDK11 compatible version of TornadoFX is in the works, but being stuck on Java 8 for the time being really doesn't matter much, since we're writing Kotlin code, which is light years ahead of Java 11 anyway. Upgrading to Java 11 for a TornadoFX app won't make much of a difference, but of course we'll support it when conversion issues have been ironed out.

yeah I like working with TornadoFX enough that I will wait

thx

I never had to do that, but how do I include a view in another?

🤦

add()

@edvin

(using real data)

@edvin what did you think of my FX.eventbus.subscribe call? do you think there should be a scope param to subscribe?

if anybody with some experience can have a look at my Main.kt

I have something working but I find that somewhat ugly to have to copy the rows between my model and the table at each update

I'm also not sure how to trigger updates without my ugly update property…

Hi devs. Has anyone ever tried calling native code ( C/C++ ) with JNI in a Tornado Fx app. I'm interested to see how a sample app might look like.

@eddy_wm I'm thinking about doing the same, have never done it before though. Can't really imagine that it would be anything TornadoFX specific about it, but it might be something Kotlin specific perhaps

@carlw Yes, scope to subscribe sounds perfect!

@carlw Did you try my code (or even your code, since both exhibited the same issues for you) with the latest version in github?

@carlw Maybe it's a JavaFX issue somehow. What JDK version are you running?

@bjonnh To include a View in another View, just do

add<StatsView>

. No need for creating a variable for the View, no singleAssign 🙂

-.kt

@bjonnh Also beware that the button builder accepts the text property as a parameter, so you don't need to assign it inside the builder body

@eddy_wm Kotlin JNI example here: https://github.com/fuzzdota/kotlin-jni-example

Looks fairly easy. Really want to try this 🙂

Thanks Edvin. I'll definitely try that.

@edvin actually, all the apps we/i have that use tornadofx would like to upgrade to java 11 asap ...

i know, we need testing of the branch. it's a christmas project for me 🙂

but it's not the case that java 11 doesn't benefit tfx apps. for one, the question of who supports java 8 now keeps coming up with our customers.
