I see a lot of potential with reified types, expekt and the node lookup. Type-safety was actually a huge issue with Hamcrest (for Java) and TestFX.

@thomasnield: Great! My first thought was to put it together with TableView, but maybe ViewModel is better

@hastebrot Nice! This way you also test the types 🙂

Never mind, I'll find a better way to solve this.

@ron I thought of you when I added the

UIComponent.currentWindow

property and set the

owner

property of the

openModal

and

openWindow

calls, ref https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/246 - could you check that this doesn't mess up anything for you?

Hopefully it's a nice improvement for you as well 🙂

I will check when I am in the hotel

Thanks Ron

Will work on adding features to the Squeezebox this weekend, plus documenting it.

so I am in the hotel what did you change? that you want me to check

@ron - @edvin committed https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/commit/e0fb2b414314edd0d607cf0a54d59568356f240d to address issue 246

btw I get this error: WARNING: Setting alignment=BASELINE_RIGHT on HBox@71a6cc79[styleClass=input-container] failed because parent doesn't support it (Field@2d97444[styleClass=field])

ah that one, it does not hurt me, the

openInternalBuilderWindow

opens fine, I cannot check on a two screen setup though

Thanks @gtnarg 🙂

@ron I'll look into that warning. OK, perfect if you can check on a two screen setup whenever you have the time.

that will be somewhere next week when I am back in the netherlands

No problem.

I might connect another monitor to my home office computer now, I need it to create better screencasts 🙂 Would like to control some stuff off screen.

what exactly do you do in the MainMenu::class

I have this result:

My MainMenu is a View that produces a MenuBar

does not look like oh wow

@ron Probably because you wrapped the menubar in some other container?

override val root = menubar {

should do 🙂

Or maybe it's a Mac thing.. I'd have to get hold of a Mac to check. Can you confirm your root node is a menubar?

no it was the wrapping
