@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?

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

@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

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?

@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.

Thanks for the pointer, now I know what Live Views in TornadoFX configuration actually means. 😀 It's working as expected on disabling that. Sorry for all the noise.

edvin

12/21/2017, 12:14 PM

Haha 🙂 Great! Maybe I should have opted for a less buzzworthy description of that feature.

r4zzz4k

12/21/2017, 12:26 PM

Nah, I believe it's fine 🙂 It's a bit sad that you eventually removed

pack()

unpack()

methods but I see the point with view hierarchy. But what do you think on automatic saving and restoring of data injected via

params

? Should that be possible? If you wish, I can fill an issue on the repo to discuss it in a bit more structured way than here.

edvin

12/21/2017, 12:27 PM

@r4zzz4k Please do - I definitely want to make live views work as well as possible 🙂

r4zzz4k

12/21/2017, 12:44 PM

Done! https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/575 I agree that this is really a killer feature and should be available for more use cases.
