I'm not fully understanding binding. I have a controller with a couple of properties (of type Int and of type String) that I want to bind to labels on the view.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez @carlw So what I was thinking is that there is no clear article(s) about how to mock controllers. We often will use the

by inject

to get a controller. but often we do not want the actual controller, we want one that is not connected to that expensive (either in time or in money) API

@bjonnh Are you installing the TornadoFX jdk-10 branch on your local maven repo?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez just saw your kotlinconf talk again, your memoize pattern is so elegant

Hi there, so happy to be here! Writing a new application in TornadoFX and Kotlin and so far it's been great. Still beginning so encountering some issues, but happy to participate and learn more here 🙂

across windows, mac, and linux, the OK and Cancel are in different places (Ok on the left for windows, maybe right for linux). you define your buttons in terms of ok or cancel. you change the labels. if you need other buttons, you can add them and specify an order

I failed design 40 years ago and I keep failing it that is why UI designers were created 😉

What's the problem with javafx >= 11? I just heard it was a separate component now, so that means we have to ship it as a jar on deployment?

if you're on a budget, a ZIP plus two scripts (one .bat, one .sh) would work too. the script would call fx launcher

I have a quick question. Is there a way to style the

bar

or

track

of a

progressbar

using inline styles. i've had success in the stylesheets, but i haven't figured out a way to do it inline though

Unfortunately, I usually build out a global style sheet. Have you seen scoped CSS in web frameworks @Ruckus? Is that what you're thinking of ?

Why

checkbox

in

treeview

loses its check state when an items gets expanded/collapsed? I added checkbox like this

treeview {
  ...
  graphic { checkbox {} }
}

You have to start the javafx application before you start the other threads and coroutines

@Stefan Beyer what mechanism would you like to use for the push notifications? I prefer web sockets but there’s also JMS or polling

@Stefan Beyer take a look at this example. I'm posting an EventBus event back to the UI. It MUST be run on the UI thread which is the runLater() line

what games do you play (my favourites are factorio, empyrion and satisfactory)

Hi, does any one has code examples for testing TornadoFx components using TestFx?

Do I understand correctly that there is no way to map

List<T>

from data class to

ListProperty<T>

in

ItemViewModel

, as the latter expects

ObservableList<T>

?

how would you go about changing the radius of each edge of a button?

@Carlton Whitehead The explanation for your issue is quite simple: If you embed "subview" inside "mainview", then mainview will have it's onDock called when it's window is docked and subview will have it's onDock called when it is attached to mainview. However, when you close the window, only mainview is undocked from it's window. subview is still attached to mainview, so it will not receive any onUndock callback. If you later show mainview again, it will once again receive a call to onDock. subview has been docked to mainview the whole time, hence no onUndock callback.

The best way I have right now (to let the coroutine stuff) is to subscribe

onChange

to the data list then to subscribe to the modifiable properties of the added elements, to trigger the

refresh()

on the table. Ouch.

Can you post some code @mariofelesdossantosjr ?

@otakusenpai create a JavaFX property backing each of the three fields. Then, in your action handler, call your connect() routine

everyone is skipping over 9 and 10 because their support ends even before java 8's. so, 11 is really what we're talking about these days even if older tickets say 9 or 10

Wow really sad how busy I've been lately - I'm writing a blog this week about reified generics in Kotlin. This story actually inspired me from TornadoFX - I remember the first time I was in awe over how beautiful the code was and one day, decided to look into the source code to see how it worked

@Stephane M No, fxlauncher updates before each start, no other mode is available as of now :)

Happy Kotlin Thursday! As promised - https://link.medium.com/e7OvFkXnZV

Hi, I read in tornadofx guide that Views, Controllers and Models are Singeltones, If I would like to mock a controller or a model for testing, how I can do that?

I'm seeing some issues with components leaking after tests. The app primary view instance survives and still receives dock/undock calls. I also noticed if I pause the test thread, (not the FX thread), and press alt+meta+j, I get exactly the number of layout debuggers on screen as test methods have started in the current process. I have an

@AfterEach

which does

FxToolkit.cleanupStages()

and

FxToolkit.cleanupApplication(app)

. The app instance is also nulled out and recreated between tests. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
