well the ObservableList works

OK, maybe you don't need the property, just go with the ObservableList 🙂

I dont see a bidirection binding in

val entries = SimpleListProperty<Entry>()
   val allentries = SortedFilteredList(entries)

I don't see a constructor in SortedFilteredList that takes a property of observablelist<t>?

Checking..

This doesn't do what you think it does.. You'd have to do

SortedFilteredList(entries.value)

but that wouldn't account for changing the value inside

entries

.

We need some special support for this.

but what I do now works......

Hmm.. actually, I'm mistaken. SimpleListProperty is also an

ObservableList

, seemingly delegating to the underlying value. I didn't know.

Yeah, just keep that 🙂

so I am good?

Yes you are.

good pushing it

Going to sleep. Have a nice evening, Ron 🙂

you too

@User uploaded a file: Drawer Proof of Concept

Played a little with the Drawer this morning 🙂

@edvin looks nice

Need to figure out how the content area should look (the area where the items are docked). Should it just have a border and a background perhaps?

I'm adding a property for

multiselect

, so you can expand multiple drawers at once. Should multiselect be default=true?

I did so much calculations and had a lot of headache with getting the custom layout to render the buttons correctly and laying out the content area as I wanted, then I realized that I could just use a BorderPane and wrap the rotated toggle buttons in a Group. Wow 🙂

Deleting 130 lines of size calculation and resize code.

I made the buttonArea background the same color as the unarmed buttons. They to the same in IDEA and it looks good to me. Adds minimal disturbance:

Should we leave it up to the user to create whatever kind of title for the content? In the following picture, Item Three defines a TitledPane to make it stand out better, and it also configured a preferred size:

It's starting to look pretty good already 🙂

@edvin sparxsystems ea's latest UI has a very thick border separating the tab controls and the content. this might give you some ideas. i'd expect that you can style this anyway
