Just starting with TornadoFX on Ubuntu 20.04. I installed openjdk11 and followed openjfx instructions on Setting Up page of TornadoFX guide. I created a new tornadofx-gradle-project but project didn't build - nothing showed other than Gradle files. Restarted IDE and that seemed to fix it. But when I try to run the project run task fails. It's my first tornadofx project and I have no idea what I did wrong. I tried to add a run config of TornadoFX but I can't add the app or view class in it. Choose app class doesn't seem to recognize the classes. Thank you in advance.

Hey, i just created a new small app which i wanted to package and ship with a native msi installer. Last time i used the job

fxlauncher:generateNativeInstaller

and Wix-Toolset which worked great at that time. Now I'm getting this error:

Bundler MSI Installer skipped because of a configuration problem: Version string is not compatible with MSI rules [unspecified].  
Advice to fix: Set the bundler argument "win.msi.productVersion" according to these rules: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370859%28v=VS.85%29.aspx>

But i can't find a way to provide the version param. I tried

fxlauncher{javapackarOptions = listOf("...")}

but could get it right. Maybe someone got a similiar problem and could share some knowlegde? Thanks in advance

is this library still being maintained? the repo looks a bit stale but maybe it's because it's stable

What is the best way to ship a tornadofx application as a standalone package?

It looks like the TornadoFX IntelliJ plugin is incompatible with the new Kotlin 1.4 IntelliJ plugin: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-idea-plugin/issues/111

Hello, everyone. I haven't been used TornadoFX earlier so I have some questions. 1. Does applications created with Kotlin and TornadoFX require JVM on user's PC to run? 2. Is there any way to create GUI desktop applications using Kotlin so users don't need to install JVM on their PCs?

I guess I'll have to discover the truth in the hard, way... Thanks, @altavir and @Marshall!

I have multiple tabs in a TabPane. Does tornadofx have a smooth way of showing that "work" is being done in a tab. Spinner next to the title? other suggestions?

for my gradle, I pass the jvm args in the "run" block

I'm trying to create a TabPane which is driven by an observable list. It manages a view for each item in the list. Should I create it as a subclass of TabPane? as a Fragment? How do you create custom panes in tornadofx?

Tooltips and context menus appear in the wrong places (much higher and the correct place, usually). What can be the cause? How do I fix that? I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, with the stock openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14

I'm trying to refactor to

val

my Javafx controls but I don't get desired result in Type-Safe Builders of Tornadofx. ¿How can return type-safe builder instead javaFx control? My Code: I can't define my label as type-safe builder instead Label

class Portal : View("") {
 val lblImgWarn by lazy { label("File not found") {} }
 
 gridpane {
   row {
	 add(lblImgWarn)
     lblImgWarn.graphic = imageview(image) {
      fitHeight = 32.0
      isPreserveRatio = true
     }
   }
 }
 
}

Expected Code:

class Portal : View("") {
 val lblImgWarn by lazy { label("File not found") {} } // I don't know how to return a type-safe builder instead Label
 
 gridpane {
   row {
     lblImgWarn{
	   graphic = imageview(image) {
		  fitHeight = 32.0
		  isPreserveRatio = true
       }
	 }
   }
 }
 
}

I have an edit button that starts a dialog window asking for some input. What's the best way to pass the input back from the dialog window to the original window? I could use the event bus but that doesn't seem clean.

I have a viewmodel with a property which is bound to a (possibly mutiple) selection in a ListView. The property is bound like this:

selectionViewModel.indices.bind(selectionModel.selectedIndices) {
    MyKindOfIndex(it)
}

This is causing all sorts of problems. If I select few items in sequence in the listview, then I select an item before them, I get an exception. If I update the observable list that is used as items list of the listview, the selection is messed up. Is what I'm doing inherently wrong? Is there a better way?

Is anyone willing to help me figure out how to make svgs fluidly draggable? i've been struggling with it for hours with little success. I'd be extremely appreciative, however, I'm probably just gonna go back to basics with javafx documentation

This message was deleted.

Is it normal that JavaFX menu don't close when clicking outside of them? I have to click on an item. Obviously, it's atypical and very annoying. Is it a bug? I can believe it's the correct behaviour and, at the same time, there is no trace of this bug on the web.

How do you set the vboxContraints on a fragment that you are adding inside to a vbox?

This is the output from DataGrip (Jetbrains query tool). To make a TornadoFx table view look that way, what should be done? use CSS or something else.

I've been trying to get

openIntenalWindow

to work, but it keeps throwing an exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter specified as non-null is null: method tornadofx.UIComponent.openInternalWindow, parameter owner

I've tried the simplest form of code I could think of and it still doesn't work:

class Start : App(MainView::class, HeaderStyle::class)

class MainView : View() {
    override val root = borderpane {
        openInternalWindow<FooView>()
    }
}


class FooView : View() {
    override val root = borderpane {

    }
}

fun main() = launch<Start>()

The tornadofx documentation feels really lackluster around this method. The example passes in an type

Editor

but I don't find anywhere it explains what that editor is

How do I select the last added item in a treeview? The items are added into the items property.

How do I resize a window that I'm opening with openWindow() to that it's the minimum size to contain its root?

dude, the

ToggleGroup

has

private final ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<Toggle> selectedToggle = new ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<Toggle>() {
    // Note: "set" is really what I want here. If the selectedToggle property
    // is bound, then this whole chunk of code is bypassed, which is exactly
    // what I want to do.
    @Override public void set(final Toggle newSelectedToggle) {

"ReadOnly" with a setter because "its exactly what I wanted to do". crystal clear.

Hello, I just want to show my work using Tornadofx

In tornadoFX I found one issue without any solution, if I want to design a window without FXML, I can't add a margin is there anyone managed to do that with the CSS file or tornadoFX style builders?

Does

find

look up into the scope of the parent objects? Is there scope inheritance?

How do set the style of the primary stage?

override fun start(stage: Stage) {
    //stage.initStyle(StageStyle.UTILITY)
    super.start(stage)

    stage.sizeToScene()
}

If I uncomment the

initStyle

line there, the windows does not show up at all. If I set the style after the call to

super.start()

, I get an exception because the stage is already showed at that moment.

There are no bidirectional bindings with converters in TornadoFX?

How do i make all this comboboxes fit the parent width from the stylesheet

How do you refresh ComboBox content each time dialog get open ? For TextField I use bind and it works.
