kotlin's error messages are worse than C++ template errors....

and intellisense needes some love too...

@edvin In your example above, where do you put a converter?

@permalmberg Converter for the value that goes into the textfield?

yeah

@permalmberg If you pass the property as the first parameter to textfield() you can pass the converter as the second.

@permalmberg - is your goal to be able to select (and possibly copy) the text from the cell?

@permalmberg But you might be better off with a hybrid approach, let me make an example.

@edvin yeah, that's what I thought too and what intellisense to me once, but

textfield(it, Converter())

just results in my entire file being marked as invalid by intellij 😕

@gtnarg Yes, precicely that

@permalmberg

it

is not a property in

cellFormat

, that's why.

@permalmberg Use

itemProperty()

instead.

this

is the cell, which has the

itemProperty

.

it

is the extracted value.

@permalmberg You can also use

makeEditable

in combination with a

cellDecorator {}

that applies the style to

graphic

, but this is more explicit.

@edvin I feel I am missing something fundamental in my understanding of how the auto-deducted

it

works. I was sure it'd be the item currently being displayed

@permalmberg You have to check the signature of every call, since

it

is determined by the API designer. It is never something you can just deduct from looking at the code. Code completion will tell you though.

Ctrl+P

is your friend 🙂

Or, just type

it

and wait (or ctrl-space), IDEA will tell you the type via a popup. Same for

this

yeah...when it works...which does about 50% of the time... 😕

Hopefully it will get better in time.

I'm sure it will

it mostly breaks when you have made an error....which is when you need it the most 😛

I think I'm ready to present Workspace to you guys, so I'll make a screencast ASAP. However, the family demands my presence, so I'm not sure I can make it today. Will try to sneak away later. Now it's chess with Alyssa 🙂

@permalmberg Haha, exactly right!

@edvin Enjoy life afk 🙂

I'm pretty excited about the improvements the

Workspace

brings to a TornadoFX business app. It's kind of like getting the best parts of NetBeans RCP or Eclipse RCP without all the overhead 🙂

That would be cool

In the ER son played rugby too hard ligament torn in his shoulder

ouch

@ron That sounds painful.
