@edvin i think so. in my mobile examples, that would maintain a stack which might not be needed for the desktop unless there was some type of breadcrumb requirement

Right. I created a component a bit like this for our CRM by the way. It maintains a stack and let you navigate back and forth.

@edvin hate to inform, I had issues with Mint and JavaFX on my Surface which has ultra high res.

@thomasnield And no way to fix them, right?

It seems Apple was the first to push high res support, and the same with the JVM for Apple

@thomasnield Yes. Windows is also good now, but Linux is lacking.

It is, I think support will get better in the next year, I know there's a lot of working going on for 4k support even outside JDK

Let's hope 🙂 Once JDK9 is stable things will be better for us JavaFX folk. 😆

On a

DataGrid

I can call

setPrefSize(100.0, 0.0)

to force it to a certain width in order to force it to only show a single column but that feels like a ugly hack. Is there an out-of-the-box way to accomplish the same thing?

@permalmberg The data grid tries to fit as much content as possible, and there is currently no way to say "maxCols=1". Is that what you'd like?

Yes, that's exactly what I'd like

@edvin The section "4. Basic Controls" seems to be MIA in the book.

@permalmberg - it is working for me - do want a copy of the pdf?

@gtnarg Really? what does your link point to? Mine points to here: https://edvin.gitbooks.io/tornadofx-guide/content/4.%20Basic%20Controls.html but opening that in a new browser just gives this:

Error writing cache body [0]: unexpected EOF

Any other link works. No need for the pdf, but thanks

@permalmberg - same link - the gitbook interface has been a bit flakey in the past (i.e. works on one side of the Atlantic and not the other) - but seems to resolve itself...

huh 😕

you might try opening it in a different browser to see if it's still an issue

I did, same thing

@permalmberg @gtnarg Grant's link came up for me...Chrome on Windows 10

It's just me that's left out in the cold then. 🐧

override val root = listview<String>() {
        cellCache {
            titledpane(it, stackpane {

            })
        }
    }

    init {

        with(root)
        {
            items = listOf("A", "B", "C", "D").observable()
        }
    }

Anyone see something wrong with that code? It ends up in an

UnsupportedOperationException

in

at java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableList.add(Collections.java:1314)

It is seemingly calling add() on an umodifiable list...

try mutableListOf

Beginning of Ch11, non-ViewModel example does not compile.

prevSelection

property doesn't exist. I'll see if I can fix this.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

That was easy. Okay fixed.

@carlw Same thing unfournately

@pem yep. just tried it myself

@carlw It seems to be the titledpane that does it. Event this results in an exception

override val root = listview(listOf("A", "B", "C", "D").observable()) {
        cellCache {
            titledpane(it, text(it))
        }
    }

@permalmberg agreed about the titledpane...this is working for me

cellCache { vbox { label(it) stackpane {} } }
