@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Id like to create a more general sample that showcases DND, but also one that would give you the answers you need. Would DND for a customer object cover your use case? It's important to note that you can't/shouldn't DND an actual UI element, but rather something that identifies the tile.

For some reason I can't figure out how to make the rectangle always take up all of the canvas space

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Node doesn't have getColumnIndex or getRowIndex though. Are you talking about the static functions inside GridPane? They are of course still available.

I had a naive question: can we write intellij plugins with tornadofx?

Not out of the box AFAIK. I've done this before with a background executive process that manages the installation

to me, philosophically, restarting an app automatically after it crashes doesn't support the point of an app crashing. Why would you want this as a feature?

@ron @Ruckus You can actually just do

tab.select()

in TFX 🙂

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez The functions to configure col/row index are statics on the GridPane class itself. For example, to set the rowIndex of some Node, you do

GridPane.setRowIndex(someNode, index)

. But you already know this, since you used exactly these functions when you tried the builder approach?

@Carlton Whitehead I didn't quite get what you wanted to do with method references / EventBus. Can you give me an example?

Thanks Edwin!

would be nice for an app store / shopping selector too

also I have a business method that is disconnected from javafx (mainly because I can call the same functionality from a commandline) and I was wondering what a decent way would be to link it up to a progressbar

This is probably the ugliest bug in TornadoFX, we really should fix this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47745053/tornarofx-runasync-issue

I think that stackoverflow issue has its root on this one (same person apparently) https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/514

how do you guys handle determining a text file's encoding?

@Ruckus I think we looked at runAsync together the last time and didn't find a solution, but I have a suggestion now. What do you think about this:

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez I dont see where you set the actual item that you are dragging (or I am missing it) this is how I do it:

setOnDragDetected { event ->
            startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.MOVE).apply {
                setContent { put(entryformat, selectedItem!!.uuid) }
                event.consume()
            }
        }

I saw this, but I wish there was more information. Anyone that knows about drag-and-drop for custom dataformats, what's your feedback? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5256308/serialization-of-java-object-created-from-external-api

does anyone know a showcase for JFoenix?

LOL an assert statement! on line 1388 😬

Thanks Carl. That worked

I have pushed the change, and I'm creating a new snapshot at sonatype now 🙂

Just bought 8 books.. I think I have enough to read during the holidays 😉

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez My PR does it all 😉

I think my message drowned, so I'll repost - hope that's ok:

Hi everyone! Soo, you seem to just use the normal read/write properties for data classes. Can’t that lead to some issues? The flux idea (similar concepts are available), where there’s only one class that can update the data, seems more structured. That way the whole encapsulation also makes more sense to me.

I’ve written some code with read only properties (objects and primitives / not sure about lists and maps), but what’s your view on it as (more) experienced programmers?

@g4sarma Use PauseTransition

another one for the books 🙂

@thomasnield Thanks for answering the issue today 🙂

@r4zzz4k It looked like from the stack trace that the fullscreen action maybe trigger a refocus of the window, and that's why it reloads twice. You did have reloading active, right? In any case, we might be able to fix this, I'll look at it tomorrow 🙂

@r4zzz4k Try to read the value of FX.reloadViewsOnFocus inside of

onDock

in your view and see what it says.
