the css 😉

@ron I made some more optimizations. Let me know if you find any issues.

I will check them

Great! The cache is much smarter now, even when you change lists or content it will retain relevant cache entries and flush the rest.

OK I am going to remove the popover from my program and I am going to change it to a hidden pane

I tried to do a brutal optimization for selection state which seem to fail in some circumstances. I know why, working on fixing it 🙂 I'm trying to drastically reduce the number of listeners compared to how the default JavaFX item controls are implemented.

There 🙂 Now I'm actually not aware of any bugs at all.

strange the git pull is not doing anything...

I have the feeling its running faster

then this morning

no issues with redrawing and switching between lists

the current code is

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

the cellWidth and cellHeight are really needed btw

Yes absolutely, they are needed. It is also much faster than this morning. I optimized it quite heavily, and I reduced the memory footprint drastically as well.

well tonight I have time to play a bit more with it

now reading up on a decent hide pane thingy

I think I'll try to create a screencast to showcase what we've got so far.

dont you have a birthday to be present at?

It's finished. Alyssa is at my parents and the wife is going to the movies soon. Bliss 🙂

grins I feel a high productivity evening coming in Norway

I'm kind of beat actually, this grid pane has cost me much sleep this weekend. Will try to make it quick and easy, then relax tonight. I managed to not write any documentation this week as well, soon running out of excuses features to make.

the problem I have with the HiddenSidesPane is that when you look at the code there are only getters and setters no “real code that does something” and I want it to slide in/out on a key press not because my mouse happens to be somewhere

well there is that feature/~excuse~ you were talking about, flipping and showing a form on the “other” side

@ron This might be up @Ruckus's alley actually. He's working on a nifty upgrade to the

switchView

function. Maybe we can even toggle view instead of switching somehow.. Interesting!

@edvin btw you've been making the Data Grid in Kotlin right? And your vision is to put it in TornadoFX rather than ControlsFX or some other library?

What really sucks is ControlsFX would be great place to put it, but we seem to be much more productive and inventive building these things in Kotlin, and we can leverage language features that make them easier to use.

@thomasnield Yes, I already committed it to tornadofx. I feel feel that TornadoFX should include missing JavaFX components that are needed for the types of applications one typically build with it. I fear my implementation is too weak to include in ControlsFX, but when I understand all this better I will for sure contribute selection support to ControlsFX.
