FlexGanttFX 1.6 Released

Version 1.6 of FlexGanttFX has been released today. It contains the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements but also several new controls. It can be downloaded here. Gantt Chart Lite When doing some consulting at Emirates Airlines in Dubai the users and I came to the conclusion that the Gantt chart in their application doesn't really need a tree table view on its left-hand side. All it was used for was to show the name of the resource in each row. The users complained about the wasted space as every pixel on the screen matters for their work. So [...]

Real World Apps @ JUG Bern

I will be joining Michael Inden tonight at his JavaFX workshop for JUG Bern and will use the opportunity to present the JavaOne "JavaFX Real World Apps" presentation. I hope the attendees will find the applications inspiring and convincing enough to start their own development efforts based on JavaFX.

JavaFX Missing Features Survey: CSS

In the last post of the Missing Features Survey series I said that this post would be about missing features in CSS and FXML. Now it turns out that the survey submissions did not contain any valid FXML issues. So I will focus on CSS only. These are the CSS features that were reported missing: Full CSS support - some properties are simply missing in the current JavaFX CSS version, e.g. "fitToWidth" in ImageView. Also font inheritance is not working. Support for CSS3. CSS transitions - the ability to specify a transition right inside CSS. This would make it a [...]

JavaFX Missing Features Survey: Performance & Quality

I take it as a good sign that the categories "Performance" and "Quality" have not seen a lot of submissions in the "Missing Features Survey". Performance In the survey the performance of JavaFX was compared with the performance of Swing and people noticed that JavaFX is slower than Swing. I personally have yet to find a use-case where that is true but I do believe that they can be found, however it should be noted that JavaFX also provides a much better coding experience based on a modern API and architecture. JavaFX supports property bindings and CSS styling. These [...]

New CalendarFX View: MonthGridView!

Me and my team have recently begun work on a new view for CalendarFX with the initial goal to display a whole year in vertical columns. The name of the view is MonthGridView. As usual the goal has changed slightly while coding. The view is now capable of displaying any number of months with extra months added in front or in the back. Now, for example, the developer can choose to display six months (a semester) with one month "padding" in front and one month in the back. The following screenshot shows an entire year with no padding. In [...]
