Unfortunately, I did not find information in the examples or in the source code, so I will ask. Is it possible to fire several events at once? I mean something like :dispatch-n in re-frame

@huxley yep, possible: effects are treated as a collection of tuples, it doesn’t have to be a map, e.g. [[:dispatch ...] [:dispatch ...]]

@vlaaad Can I find a code example somewhere?

I don’t think there are code examples, just return a coll of tuples instead of a map in event handler 🙂

there are only examples returning maps. e.g. https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/blob/master/examples/e18_pure_event_handling/events.clj#L15-L20

It took me a while, but I think I understand ; )

I did something similar, but I thought that maybe there is a more obvious solution, for example something like that.

{:fx/type          :button
  :text            "button"
  :on-action       [{:event/type :evt-1}
                    {:event/type :evt-2}
                    {:event/type :evt-3}]}

ah, no, there is nothing like that unfortunately, you can only have a single event in description

Okay, it's awesome anyway. 😉

I have an issue to make event handlers more free-form: https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/issues/48

but I’m not working on it 🙂

I’m not doing anything about it because it’s wasn’t that big of an issue in practice

Thanks for your help and your time

you are welcome 🙂

As documented in https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx#aot-compilation-is-complicated, the classes from javafx.scene.control require JavaFX runtime to be running by accessing it in Control's static initializer. I've encountered a variation on this issue that manifests itself in a nREPL session. After initializing the toolkit, any code running on the Javafx Application Thread that references a control throws an error. Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javafx.scene.control.Label The following code block runs fine because it doesn't reference a control.

(let [stage (Stage.)
      stack-pane (StackPane.)
      scene (Scene. stack-pane 640 480)]
      (.setScene stage scene)
      (.show stage))

(let [stage (Stage.)
      label (Label. "Hello") 
      stack-pane (StackPane. (into-array Node [^Label label]))
      scene (Scene. stack-pane 640 480)]
      (.setScene stage scene)
      (.show stage))  

java 11? call (javafx.application.Platform/startup #()) before importing classes from javafx.scene.control package

Yes, of course. I do that.

ah, hmmm

just to be clear — you do it before import, not before creating instance?

unfortunately, I can’t help with nrepl as I don’t use it

The import statement are in the ns declaration, the platform initialization is a top-level definition.

top-level definition before ns call?

No, it's a function that runs on the nREPL, so it runs after the import.

hm, I would guess this is the problem — JavaFX runtime has to be started before javafx.scene.control.* classes are imported

I tried at the REPL, initialized the JavaFX runtime, then imported the control at the REPL, still the same error.

hmm, actually just running (import 'javafx.scene.control.Label) does not fail in a freshly-started repl with JavaFX on the classpath

Exactly.

can you share the whole stacktrace?

hmm, and that’s it? no causes? no extra output in stderr?

No. It's definitely a nREPL specific problem, just asking if anyone has seen this before.

nREPL is modifying the class loading mechanism.

And to be clear, I'm not using cljfx neither. It's just plain interop.

yeah, I see 🙂

Hello, i want to create menu-item to use file chooser, so i modified the root-view of https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/blob/master/examples/e33_file_chooser.clj But for the menu-item it gave me

Am i missing something?

day of cljfx issues 😄

@danielsz just in case — the problems with JavaFX initialization and controls I had had to do with this code in Control static initializer: https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/blob/d10f948ee7380ac73bc4e2d5bff1caba50fe00a8/modules/javafx.controls/src/main/java/javafx/scene/control/Control.java#L98-L100

perhaps setting default user agent stylesheet might help with nrepl ¯\(ツ)/¯

@raefaldhiamartya can you share the whole stacktrace?

do you call .getScene somewhere?

ah, there is this call in the example code https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx/blob/master/examples/e33_file_chooser.clj#L12-L17

yes getscene only in that code, here's all i have

Looks like MenuItem does not have .getScene method that is called on an event target by the handler

and you need to pass a parent window to .showOpenDialog …

Either you should find another way to get a hold on the window from the event, or you should use (javafx.stage.Window/getWindows) to get a window from there

ahhh alright then, thank you!
