, but I prefer to avoid it, especially since I may need the main thread for other coroutines to continue running (I am a "heavy" coroutines user). The extension I posted in a snippet above should work well for my use case, but I'll look into scopes still, thanks for the recommendation!

here's an example from ListView cell selection:

s(listCell and selected) {
            backgroundColor += Color.TRANSPARENT
        }

Is there anything at the top of anyone's mind that could be remedied with this?

Hi guys. I have created some extension methods that work fine for me. They can be used to use MigPane with TorandoFX: https://gist.github.com/jschneider/1dfe88fb8b0cac9f29a0964a2084a61f Any feedback greatly appreciated since I am (still) a beginner in Kotlin and TornadoFX.

Hello, i have borderpane with current top ( hello world - text, update, logs, exit buttons) How i can align text to left top and buttons to right top ? i tried to use something like this

top {
                hbox {

                    vbox(alignment = Pos.TOP_LEFT) {
                        text("Hello")
                        text("World")
                    }

                    hbox(3, alignment = Pos.TOP_RIGHT) {


                        button("Update") {
                            action {
                                homeController.updateCurrentDevices()
                            }
                        }

                        button("Logs") {
                            action {
                                logView.openModal(stageStyle = StageStyle.DECORATED)
                            }
                        }

                        button("Exit")
                    }
                }
            }

There is a project out there there (that I can't remember the name of) that provides sample code for a bunch of frameworks all building something the same thing to a spec. The spec is intentionally more involved than a ToDo app. I would like to start collaborating on implementing a sample app that would answer many of the questions people have using TornadoFx. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

@hudsonb I'm working on a tool store application that's slightly larger than the other samples. It does direct database access, no REST. It will be a rewrite/more complete version of this app: https://github.com/edvin/edgecam_toolmanager

@carlw what about binding then? Isn't it better to update property in controller and so notify the view, rather than fire very specific event with one receiver in shared bus?

edvin

11/10/2018, 5:43 PM

@alex You have to specify a module, and that module must have access to all the code needed for the project to run. Not sure I understand why you don't select the module that contains your app class? This would have dependencies on the other modules, wouldn't it?

@carldea I think you can - tornadofx is known to work with legacy items - although, if you'd like, you can use these examples to start threading your old stuff into type-safe css: https://edvin.gitbooks.io/tornadofx-guide/content/part1/6.%20CSS.html

I would just like to thank those of you who routinely give help in this channel, and those who give help when they can. I snoop a bunch of other channels and most of them are good too, but often very specific in the types of topics they allow. their perogative of course, but its nice to know that people here seem willing to answer things that aren't 100% kotlin/tornadofx, but still related to gui dev.

what is the best way to get an onCloseRequest action setup? Specifically I'm trying to add basically a cancel close or save work and close type behavior. I just don't know where specifically to setup the onCloseRequest.

so maybe off topic, but would anyone be willing to take a look at one of my screens and give some general UI advice?

quite fine if that oversteps the use here 🙂

@carldea Are you going to post the meme generator code to a public repo?

jschneider

11/12/2018, 12:16 PM

When I look at the code, I see that the "graphicProperty" is only bound if "graphic != null". Any idea why this is necessary? Or is this maybe a typo and should be "if (graphicProperty!=null)"?

We're discussing the version number for the JDK10+ compatible version of TornadoFX over at https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/pull/797. This version will also remove deprecated functions and clean up the API so it will not be a drop in replacement. We're thinking TornadoFX 2.0, with a TornadoFX 2.0-RC as the first release. We will need extensive testing before a production release, so focus will be on getting something runnable out there as quick as possible. What do you guys think?

@alex I will update FXLauncher to support JDK11/TornadoFX 2.0

edvin

11/13/2018, 6:31 PM

@Ruckus I agree it would be nice, but let's not do anything that delays the release this time around. @hudsonb Yeah, REST is probably the most obvious candidate for modularization, even though it's not huge. In fact, the whole framework is still pretty small, so it's not like the space requirements are really an issue for most applications IMO.

I'm looking into failing tests for stylesheets. Looks like the string evaluations need to be trimmed because all the white space makes them unequal. Still having some compiling issues for the jdk10 branch -

@Ruckus given this information, I don't know if Kotlin is able to override a particular function with an extension function. Perhaps we can just rename it?

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

11/13/2018, 7:31 PM

named it to stripTFX - I'll push it up in a new PR 🙂

Sounds good, though I would have suggested something more descriptive like "normalizeWhitespace`, but I get a bit overzealous about that sometimes 🙂

I'll have that fixed 😄

I am NOT good at naming things

It's not a big deal, especially for a private function. Just me being, well, me 🙂
