@anidotnet You must never reference the person you pass in, that defeats the whole purpose of the ViewModel and effectively stops you from assigning another person item to this viewmodel. Just do val name = bind(Person::name) instead. You can pass the person constructor param onto the ViewModel constructor, but I recommend to just remove it and do model.item = person if you need to assign the value manually. This avoids that whole confusion and also ensures that you have a noargs constructor so that you ViewModel also works with injection.

You can use our vgrow helper though 🙂

@edvin When in the

Workspace

lifecycle would you invoke

removeFromParent

on the default toolbar buttons? If you do it in

init

or

onDock

the buttons have null parents, so nothing happens.

So cool @thomasnield 🙂

Great. So basically, make them Fragments, remove the injects and just do add where you want to add them.

Okay guys. Forget it. I had to add the style class to the app 😂

@g4sarma Be sure to not mix Type Safe CSS and Type Safe Builders. Only the Type Safe Builders are an alternative to FXML, and Type Safe CSS can be applied to both.

@g4sarma You might also want to check out FXLauncher 🙂

@jamie-purchase Instead of Google, try Ctrl+N in IDEA 🙂

How can I add a shadow to a node?

@Juan You probably could if you assigned a class and a subsequent style that reacts to the change

@carlw So you say I should do something like this

override fun start(stage: Stage) {
        super.start(stage)
        stage.isResizable = false
    }

and then when replacing the window I should make the window resizable again through a parameter?

Hey. Do you have any sample code? I am very interested in 2FA.

@pike when do you want to do the login? the fxlauncher should I think be downloadable without logging in, but after that it should have it before downloading the actual application, its dependencies and the app.xml?

@aayush I can expose the toggle button in each drawer item so that you can bind a boolean expression to the enabled state using

enableWhen

or

disableWhen

?

I know you can add jars easily as part of your library, however, is it possible to use a zip file as a library or would I have to find a way to turn it into a jar

Wonder if we still get links of the week and controlsfx....

@thomasnield I've seen "old syntax" pop up for new users here and there, and I was wondering where it was coming from. One guy got back to me and explained he had read it in the guide. We have a chapter explaining what goes on behind the scenes with the builders, but he probably just skimmed it and thought that was the way to go (

this += Button

etc). I wonder if we're better off just showing the shiny syntax to avoid confusion. What do you think?

?

Let me look at the test, I'm not familiar with it.

@edvin does using inside the gradle fxLauncher{ includeExtensions "dll" } Download the dll libraries automatically declared as System.loadLibrary("sqljdbc_auth.dll")

@kastork Can you see where? I don't see any code that should add interceptors there.

oh yeah, okay. is s(classname) now deprecated?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Looking at the caching thing now. By the way, that last line (

center

) does nothing.

@thomasnield We really need to update the guide, it looks like every new guy is using outdated syntax 🙂

@g4sarma I always use an http client and store the data elsewhere, I find it much easier to deal with user access this way. But you can of course include a direct connection to a local postgresql server or something if your use case calls for it. There are some very nice libraries out there for working with JDBC in Kotlin.

I contributed the desktop implementation 🙂

As I was writing it, I realized that I wanted the refresh/loading status to be observable properties, but they were defined as booleans in the interface I had to implement. Luckily, due to the property delegates in TornadoFX, it was really easy to turn them into observables so I could keep the UI in sync easily.
