Yes, you can call

workspace.dock

from anywhere 🙂

and!!!! undock when you leave that view

Ah, yes, that's also possible.

You will of course need the latest commit.

But hang on.. you mean the menuitem should disappear when you undock, right? That's already supported.

no

Just add it in

onDock

and it should work.

the menuItem stays

Hm.. let me check.

the case: select preferences from the menu -> preferencesView gets docked -> do your thingy -> use the left button from the workspace to go back to the mainview -> the preferencesView gets undocked

That's the default behavior when you navigate. I thought we talked about the menuitem?

That seems to be a view stack issue. You have to click forward before you can go back, right?

no

I just noticed it was there

but when I press the back button I want that view gone from the stack completely

Ah, you want to wipe it from the stack. So we need a way to tell a the Workspace that it should not add the view to the stack when it's docked?

yes, so that when you go back the stack is empty again

You can call

fun dock(child: UIComponent, updateViewStack: Boolean = true)

Then you have to

find

your component first.

But judging from your screencast there is also a bug in there somewhere.

or val prefview : PreferencesView by inject()

if you do that the back button does not work 🙂

@ron I've been looking for Kotlin talks on the East Coast US and stumbled upon one in Amsterdam. It looks like it has an Android focus though. http://appdevcon.nl/session/thijs-suijten-no-excuses-switch-to-kotlin/

@ron I'll look more at this tonight 🙂

@edvin - I will look at

SplitMenuButton

builder on the weekend if that's soon enough?

@gtnarg: That would be perfect. I'll probably do another release next week :)

This is rendered in JavaFX

Canvas

. I have the typical layout problems. Can't shrink the canvas and resize the

ListView

on the left.
