4. Basic Controls
You can create a CheckBox to quickly create a true/false state control and optionally
manipulate it with a block (Figure 4.8).
checkbox("Admin Mode") {
}
action { println(isSelected) }
Figure 4.9
Notice that the action block is wrapped inside the checkbox so you can access its
isSelected property. If you do not need access to the properties of the CheckBox , you can
just express it like this.
checkbox("Admin Mode").action {
}
println(isSelected)
You can also provide a Property that will bind to its selection state.
val booleanProperty = SimpleBooleanProperty()
checkbox("Admin Mode", booleanProperty).action {
}
println(isSelected)
ComboBox
A ComboBox is a drop-down control that allows a fixed set of values to be selected from
(Figure 4.10).
val texasCities = FXCollections.observableArrayList("Austin",
"Dallas","Midland", "San Antonio","Fort Worth")
combobox {
}
items = texasCities
