Comments on: Node Lookup http://fxexperience.com/2009/11/node-lookup/ Sharing the Experience of JavaFX Tue, 15 May 2012 08:11:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Carl Dea http://fxexperience.com/2009/11/node-lookup/comment-page-1/#comment-1581 Carl Dea Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:43:49 +0000 http://fxexperience.com/?p=192#comment-1581 Richard, I agree with Joshua. Possibly the boolean would be set to 'false' (to not allow the user of the node to traverse tree) by default for be backwards compatible and speed. So, if the custom control or custom node implementer decides to expose the insides they can set it to 'true' allowing users to access ids (Except they better be unique and well documented). Unless you create a mixin class which the custom node would inherit called something like 'AllowIdNodeTraversable' (excuse my naming) containing the attribute to be set. I'm sure the Node has to be as small as possible and not to add extra attributes. Too bad JavaFX doesn't have annotations (or is that a bad idea? just thinking out loud) I also, think by solving this problem I believe GUI builders or JavaFX frameworks could benefit from this. Thank you. May you guys bless us with plenty of controls. :) Richard,

Sort of like the booleans in other tree based apis for recursion, deep copy, etc. DOM does it. :) I hate to say it, but I think we should just have an extra boolean indicating if you want to go inside custom nodes.
