@carlw I'm working on adding support for binding a

runAsync

call against properties for

progress

,

message

and

value

. It will greatly simply the code from our example yesterday.

@edvin Ok. right now I'm just curious how it works so I do't have an actual use case

@permalmberg OK. I think the main thing is that

bind

creates a "facade" property that will work even when no underlying object is available to the binding. Rebind will reevaluate the code inside the

bind

block, and make sure the value from that code is reflected in the binding.

Pah. My bindings aren't updating my underlying POJO properties 😞 Given

val x = bind { component.observable(IComponent::getX, IComponent::setX) } as DoubleProperty

, if doing

x.value = 1.0

shouldn't the

IComponent::setX

be called? Time for a walk to clear my head, I'll be back in ~1h.

@permalmberg If it's in a viewmodel you either have to call

model.commit()

or set

bind(autocommit = true)

when you create the binding.

oh! of course!

it works 🙂

@edvin - any chance you could links to the code (before/after) in your post?

@carlw Hold off on testing the progress support in

runAsync

. I have a better suggestion, will implement and show you after dinner.

@gtnarg A transcript with each of his edits as bullets would be pretty useful

@gtnarg I will post it tonight, together with a new video where I want to showcase the changes to

runAsync

🙂

Will start to include the source in each blog post 🙂

@edvin agree...

Thanks to feedback from @carlw we now have a way to update the status of a long running process started with

runAsync

. There is now also a

TaskStatus

helper for updating your UI.

The code is now in the blog post 🙂

@edvin what do you use for screen capture?

Nevermind, I have OBS :)=

@permalmberg: Bandicam :) 4k@60fps no sweat :)

@User uploaded a file: 2017-01-08 20-18-36.mp4 and commented: Just sharing what I'm working on 🙂

Yes, I'll use the squeezebox once it is released 🙂

@permalmberg That's pretty impressive stuff! Good work 👏

Thanks 🙂 It needs "pretty-fying", but the functionality is there

What exactly is it, btw?

It is a tool to create Logic & Data composite components using building blocks. In the clip I've added boolean AND-gates and connected the input and outputs.

Fantastic. I wonder if the components you create can be used for other use cases as well.

Probably. Though I've not really built it for reuse outside this project. It is all backed by a data-layer that is specific to this use-case

It doesn't show in the clip, but the components are actually live in the backend so it is possible to visualize the state of each component/signal in the editor later on.

It's probably good to continue that way, but maybe when everything is up and running it might be possible to fork it to create some reusable component perhaps?
