JideFX and Scene Builder

[wattsie]

G'day,
Would anyone able to point me in the right direction. I have been trying to use JideFX with Scene Builder 2 generated FXML files.

It is probably a stupid question... but I'll ask anyway. Sorry if it is out of order.

What is the best method to enable JideFX validation and decoration on a textfield added using SB2?

I understand you need to use "new DecorationPane(pane)" , however, if the pane is generated within SB2, and embedded within other Pane's how would one go about called the DecorationPane method?

I can easily embed the validation within the fxml's controller and I know this works well.

And, If I load the FXML file manually, and wrap the pane within DecorationPane it works and the decorations show when fields are invalid,

Where I am coming unstuck, is I would like to be able to design the GUI within SB2.

Any pointers would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PS:Understand if it is not easy, and I have to revert to manually coding the GUI, but it would be so much easier if there was a simple way to do this within SB2.

Cheers.

Unless SB is written with JideFX decoration/validation in mind, there is really no way to make it seamlessly integrated. You can still design in SB because decorations don't change the layout anyway. I believe you can even include a DecorationPane in the hierarchy using SB, I believe. The rest can controlled by code outside SB. You probably can't add all the logic code using SB anyway, right?

Better integration with FXML also discussed at #30. Other components may need a facelift too.
