How to bind a list-size to a label [message #1006843]

Hi,

maybe this is a dumb question but I am stuck:

i want to bind the size of a WritableList to a label to show how many entries the list actually has.

The label-sided part of the Binding is easy, but I wonder how to create the IObservableValue for the size of the list...

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance,

Jens

Use a computed value. The model side of the binding would be:

new ComputedValue() {
protected Object calculate() {
return myWritableList.size();
}
};

Note that ObservableList.size() is a tracked getter (annotated with
@TrackedGetter and if you look at the implementation you will see it
calls getterCalled method).
