I wonder who wrote the tornadofx version

@ron I was wondering if it was someone on here... It was updated/posted a month ago. I couldn't find a message here when I searched, but I could have missed it...

I am here just about every day and I had never heard of it

Ok, same... I try to read everything every day and don't recall seeing it.

@edvin you are an awesome writer. This is a great article you wrote. Emailing this to my team now. https://edvin.town/leveraging-tornadofx-to-the-fullest/

@thomasnield Thank you, that means a lot 🙂 I'm beginning to enjoy writing more and more 🙂

@permalmberg If you add the children manually via fragment.root it will probably not be considered docked. You should add fragments as children using

add(MyFragment::Class)

or

this += MyFragment::class

or even

this += someFragmentInstance

, then it should be docked. I'll check if we can pick up "ad hoc" added fragments as well later today. That's actually an oversight on my part.

@carlw About

visible

- are you refering to the boolean on

Node

? To access this in Kotlin you'd do

node.isVisible

, so I'm thinking that

visible { someBooleanProperty() }

would be OK. Or did I misunderstand you?

@permalmberg I glanced at the docking code and I actually wrote it with this use case in mind. I'll try to create a minimal test case to check it now.

@permalmberg This is a self contained sample showing that the fragment is considered docked and will receive events properly:

@User uploaded a file: Docked Subscription Test

@permalmberg I even tried changing the SomeFragment addition to

this += find(SomeFragment::class).root

. It still works 🙂 Can't even conjure up a way that would make it break.. hehe

Hm.. we need an

onHover

function. Nobody wants to write

hoverProperty().onChange { ...

Committed.

@edvin Hm, that's surprising.

Difference to my code is I add them to a Group

Maybe it has to do with Group not being a Pane. Checking.

No, that shouldn't make a difference. Changing my code to check.

Still works. The only thing I changed was

vbox

to

group

.

That'l render the children on top of each other, but the event still fires.

@permalmberg Can you post the whole example?

Well, it's not just an example, its part of my entire app, @edvin

Can you isolate it?

Maybe. I'll dig a bit more first

If I can just look at it I might spot the issue, if you have it checked in somewhere I mean.

@carlw What's the best way you know of to make a Label be as wide as it's parent container?

@edvin The subscriber is in this view: https://github.com/PerMalmberg/HAP/blob/master/Modules/RuleEngine/src/hap/ruleengine/editor/view/parts/ComponentView.kt

line 46

@permalmberg Quick note, you can do

setOnMouseClicked {

instead of

onMouseClicked = EventHandler {
