Nice 🙂

You should use parent/children and not have any extra containers.

I have 1.5 kitchen cabinet full with only herbs and spices

^ you're not a true chef unless your shelves are bending

I'm gonna start prepping for the 1.5.8 release I think.

you want to add the vertices straight to the pane?

Yes.

that means they are in the vertices and in the panes

Does the Group mean anything in terms of the model? I've added Grouped items before for convenience. Usually, I hide a part of a Group and show it later based on a state change.

the group is a convenience so I dont have to look why it does not draw right

How do I set the minWidth + minHeight of the Stage used in the openModel() call?

taking the api: Rest by inject() for a drive tonight

@carlw You simply set the minWidth + minHeight property of the root node of the View you open 🙂

@carlw Let me know how the rest api thing goes 🙂

@edvin will this set the stage too?

@carlw Hmm.. maybe the stage might still be resized to a smaller size than the root. I haven't actually tried.

@edvin the stage will be the only way to prevent the user from resizing the window

@edvin a container VBox won't stop this

@carlw Then you could access the

modalStage

property in the

onDock

callback of the

View

and set it there perhaps?

trying it now

onDock worked for me. Is there a more Kotlin-like way to write this?

Much better thanks grant

Unless you are subclassing your own UIComponent there is no need to call

super.onDock()

. The default implementation does nothing.

Nice @gtnarg 🙂 @carlw: In your first attempt you use the safe operator (?) already, so you actually didn't need the

if (modalStage != null)

wrapper, so you could also have written it as:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

If you set more than two properties, Grants solution is indeed much better so you don't need to repeat

modalStage?.

. For two calls however, it's more a matter of taste.

@carlw pinned ’s Kotlin Null Handling Suggestion to this channel.

@User shared a file: and commented: Does anyone know if this is an IntelliJ problem or an incorrect interpretation of object? I'm trying to examine the data field in the function but get "no fields to display". If I convert this to a class and object pair, I can see the field.
