Any idea how I'd insert a view into tab like so

class MainView : View() {
    override val root = tabpane {
        tab("Home") {
            //insert TestView
        }
    }
}


class TestView: View() {
    override val root = anchorpane {
        label("Test")
    }
}

No...

plugins {
    val kotlinVersion = "1.3.40"
    kotlin("jvm" ) version kotlinVersion
    id("application")
    id("kotlinx-serialization") version kotlinVersion
    id("org.openjfx.javafxplugin") version "0.0.7"
    id("org.beryx.jlink") version "2.9.4"
}

Ugh, the Open JFX/11 experience is awful 😕. Java FX 8 'just works'. I'm throwing every combination of everything I can at this; the toolchain or plugins just seems broken; reports it can't see modules that are shown in the classPath.

@darkmoon_uk if this project is opens sourced, can you link me to it?

Packaging this with

javapackager

is desirable, but the

javapackager

binary seems missing on JDK 12 / OS-X 🤔 Investigating...

Hey i'm also trying to package a app but couldn't get it running even looking at the sources from @darkmoon_uk. Maybe someone could help me to change this simple example from (https://github.com/beryx-gist/badass-runtime-example-javafx) to also use kotlin and tornadofx?

Hi guys ) please help me with Workspaces... I trying to add custom button to workspace from View. Used onDock callback. But there is a weird behavior: in my workspace two tabs, when I select another tab, the button doesn't hides... On return to first tab again, a second button adds... In other switches second button hides and appears, but first button still present... What am I doing wrong?

I'm experienced in Rx but just embarking on my first 'Reactive Coroutines' journey with JavaFX - is this a reasonable way to get a

Channel<ActionEvent>

from a

Button

? Is there an established library that already implements these kinds of Coroutines wrappings for JavaFX?

Hey, im trying to build a simple Listview showing some houses with their name and the number of rooms. Somehow i'm unable to get the size of roomsList to display it. I think i'm not doing this property thing right at all ... Maybe someone could give me a hint at this

class House(name: String = "", rooms: List<Room> = emptyList()) : NamedObject(name)
{
	val roomsProperty = SimpleListProperty<Room>(this, "rooms ",rooms.asObservable())
	var rooms : ObservableList<Room> by roomsProperty
}

class HouseModel(house: ObjectProperty<House>) : ItemViewModel<House>(itemProperty = house)
{
	val name = bind(House::nameProperty)
	val rooms = bind(House::roomsProperty)
}
...

class HouseListFragment : ListCellFragment<House>() {
    private val controller by inject<QuotationController>()
    private val house = HouseModel(itemProperty)

    override val root = vbox {
        hbox {
            vbox {
                removeWhen { editingProperty }
                label(house.name) {
                    setId(Styles.contentLabel)
                    hgrow = Priority.ALWAYS
                    useMaxSize = true
                }
                label(house.rooms.value.size.toString())
                label(" rooms ") {}
            }
        }
    }
}

Doing something like

private val roomNumber = SimpleIntegerProperty(house.rooms.value.size)

always gives me 0 for a house which should have 3 rooms

Anyone know of a library that implements Coroutine Channel/Flow wrappings for JavaFX component events? Or is there space to grow a new one?

any news on release of tornadofx for JDK>8

I've an existing tornadofx program that was still using

Application

instead of

App

. When I just changed it to the latter, I got an NPE on exit (in `App::stop()`because primaryStage wasn't set. I added to the existing start method

FX.setPrimaryStage

to get past that. I am now getting an NPE in the following lines, which seem to be finding and cleaning up the primary view. I'm starting to suspect "you're doing it wrong". Is my problem that I have a custom

start()

that doesn't call the super? Should I not override start at all and override some other method called by App::start instead? Should I also have overridden stop()? The existing

start()

is needed because the program has to first show a dialog box. It's possible that the user can cancel out, in which case I don't want the stage showing at all, just want to exit.

anyone know what i'm doing wrong here with my binding? i have an object property (selectedItemProperty). i've attached a listener to that property and it emits as expected, but when i add a listener to my stringBinding it does not emit.

Searching through channel history, it seems like coroutines are rather niche in TFX apps ...

How can I set a close event for a view in TornadoFX? I have been searching the documentation and ide autocomplete and cannot figure it out.

Do we know of a working demo of a file upload or download with a progressbar using TornadoFX and Fuel? I think I see how to do it, but I'd love to have a cheat to look at.

Question: How do you bundle up your TornadoFX application for different platforms? I'm currently shipping a .jar file for Linux and MacOS and an .exe using

launch4j

- however

launch4j

seems to work on some systems and others not so I'm kind of looking for an alternative. Ideally I'd also want to create a .dmg file for MacOS and to top it off, it would be perfect to be able to ship the application and a JRE in a single package to avoid users having to install another dependency

Hi, I want to implement a classic master/detail view, where the master is a TableView of Employees and the details is a Form to edit the selected employee, I found several samples for that scenario, but what I don't like is using JavaFX properties in my domain models, I'm declaring my Employee domain model as POKO, an EmployeeModel as ItemVeiwModel, and defined all the bindings with the TableView and the Form, so my problem is that as I'm not using JavaFX properties in my domain model the table view doesn't reflect the changes in the ViewModel until I call refresh manually, and what I want is to be able to call refresh after the changes are committed to the model programmaticly, but I can't find any cleaner way to listen to model commit, without referencing the table view from the view model. Aany idea, solution, design pattern, code samples...🤔??? will be appreciated! 🙏

does tornado FX provide any kind of system for using a node as a template? eg: I create say a gridpane with some specific row/column constraints, maybe some data, and then I want to

copy()

in the data-class sense, to create a new instance that renders the same data in the same way, but the new instance only has copies of user-facing properties and does not have copies of any yucky toolkit related properties? (EG

parent

)

is there any good testing blogs for tornado or even javafx? I'm used to having the ability to test at the level of a user tapping on things etc, is there anything similar for tornadofx?

Hey guys, I'm looking to create a tabbed pane like the one in WPF, but im definately not a CSS wizard. Has anybody tried to get a kind of metro look-and-feel for tabs in javafx?

anybody got a idea what could cause this? https://gist.github.com/NikkyAI/809525ed3466ec8ea179019dd3c41a2a this happens in a jfx/tornadoFX app that uses data2viz in a canvas and one additional textarea for log output figured it out.. something about unicode in strings messed up, so i have to try hard to not use geometric symbols from unicode

I have a tableview with a

cellFormat {}

block in one of my columns. Why is my cellFormat not called when the value of the property bound to the column is changed?

Is there a way to a) make editable table cells have textboxes all the time, not just after double-click, and b) commit instead of rollback on focus lost?

If I am using a

TableCellFragment

, how do I bind a

Property<CssRule>

that sets the style for the

tableRowCell

?

Hello everyone. We use TornadoFX 1.7.18 and Java 8. We have an issue on macOS 10.15 Catalina Beta 9 (19A573a) (most up to date release) that when the app starts for the first time, it shows a warning message:

"yourapplication" would like to receive keystrokes from any application.
Grant access to this application in Security & Privacy preferences, located in System Preferences.

This doesn't happen on older versions of macOS. Did anyone encounter such issue or maybe has any ideas? Best regards, Kirill

Hopefully I'll get some time soon to get back into TFX again, so I decided to check the current state. When I run the test apps (on the

jdk10

branch), they mostly work, but not the DSL styles. I get

WARNING: Resource "css://tornadofx.testapps.[...]" not found.

Is there something I'm missing that I need to change to get this working?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to add some buttons to the titleRegion of a titledpane, but somehow im struggling to find the right way. Should i look up the titleRegion in the childrens with

getChildList()

or ist there any other suitable way to access it?
