Poor mans input constraints

For me the best way to prevent the user from annoying errors and error messages is simply in the first line to try not to allow the user e.g. to enter invalid data or to execute actions while data in incomplete (disabled buttons/menu entries). If only numbers allowed in an input field I think its… Continue Reading Poor mans input constraints

The TabPaneDetacher provides an easy to use way to enable the detach capability of with any… Continue Reading TabPaneDetacher: Make your tabs detachable

UI logic with using JavaFX Bindings

For MQTT.fx I needed a ComboBox to enter new Topics or to choose recent topics from list. But I want the user to enter or choose only (more or less) reasonable values otherwise the “Publish”/”Subscribe” buttons should be disabled: Using the JavaFX Bindings API prevents some boilerplate code (implementing Listeners) and it is even more… Continue Reading UI logic with using JavaFX Bindings
