without using css (if it’s possible to use pseudoclasses with tfx), are there specific functions for pseudo classses? Like on hover, for tfx?

[Ruckus]

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I can't think of any reason to use them outside CSS, as they are really just glorified booleans for interactive styling.

well i was making a seating application, and i wanted to add interactivity to the seat that was hovered. to do that, i had to create two methods for each seat; mouse enter & exit, and then i had to make extra values for getting the fill before the seat was hovered, so i could set it to that again after they stop hovering over it

[Ruckus]

Why not just use CSS for that?

[Hamza]

is there a way to define pseudo classes using tornadofx css?

[Hamza]

without using a stylehseet

[Ruckus]

I'm not sure what you're asking. CSS is a stylesheet. That's what the SS part stands for.

[Hamza]

i meant without using a .css file, using the statically typed css that comes with tornadofx

[Ruckus]

That makes more sense. So my next question is, what do you mean by define? You can use the csspseudoclass delegate just like you use the cssclass delegate. For example:

// equivalent to '.fred'
val fred by cssclass()
// equivalent to ':fred'
val fred by csspseudoclass()

[Hamza]

i was asking, how can i use that typed css to define pseudo classes

[Ruckus]

Did my example not answer your question?

[Hamza]

it indeed did. thank you

[Ruckus]

Alright, good. I still wasn't sure we were quite on the same page 🙂

[Hamza]

ah, my bad.

[Ruckus]

Not really. I have a propensity for misunderstanding people.

[Hamza]

well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Hamza]

have a nice day!! 🙂

[Ruckus]

You too 🙂
