    im also not sure that placeholder "is a thing" in wx... ill have to check the docs
  • i
  • b
    hmmmm, yeah, you are right
  • b
    red, but not bold
  • b
    oh, nice
  • i
    only started messing about with this because of Nintendo switch homebrew tools: there are a few tools to create custom home screen tiles ("NSP forwarders") that have overtaken each other and become unsupported on later versions, all because they're bound to specific versions of the underlying command-line tool to do the real work, with a bad GUI on top of it
  • i
    so thought I'd make my own bad GUI but at least it'll look native
  • i
    most of the tools' usage is game roms for older systems being forwarded to RetroArch, so with that in mind I'll figure out getting the right cover image for the game based on filename and retroarch thumbnail DB, then do some magic to show what it'll look like as a switch tile

    ok, latest haxeui-core, haxeui-hxwidgets, hxWidgets:
  • b
    * placholder implemented * bold working * italic working * underlined working * can use css props for above: 
    font-weight: bold;
    , 
    font-style: italic;
    , 
    text-decoration: underline;
  • i
    ooooh, that was quick
  • b
    yeah, it was all there really, didnt know about SetHint 👍
  • b
    tbh, didnt even think windows text inputs could handle placeholders
  • b
    restrictChars is defo doable, but will take a little more time since ill have to create a custom validator for wxwidgets (RegExpValidator or something)
  • i
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe

var restricted:EReg;
if (restrictedChars.replace("\\^", "").indexOf("^") == -1)
{
  restricted = new EReg("[^" + restrictedChars + "]", "g");
}
else
{
  restricted = new EReg("[" + restrictedChars + "]", "g");
}
text = restricted.replace(text, "");
    (restrictChars implementation)
  • b
    can be shortened but this is the most understandable
  • b
    the regex isnt the issue, the issue is writing a c++ validator that will work with wxwidgets
  • b
  • b
    cant you write this part in haxe? will be easier
  • b
    but it still needs to be plugged into wxwidgets for it to work, otherwise haxeui-hxwidgets will have to handle all the "parts", like keypress, paste, etc... and wx already has a facility for exactly this
  • b
    or maybe you have ti make it external
  • b
    ooo
  • b
    youtube tutorial time? xD
  • b
    naw, just need to write a generic validator that has a validate method that can be implemented in haxe, that can go in wxWidgets (that way others can use this to make their own validators), then use that to write a regexpvalidator that will live in haxeui-hxwidgets
  • i
    grid layout is magic stuff
  • i
    took a while before I remembered to prompt it to have 3 columns, then it works perfectly
  • b
  • b
    what completely dumb behaviour
  • i
    doesn't seem to happen on KDE until I press backspace
