Haxe

if this is the intended behaviour the api call should be `e.value.value` because presently i can't actually get access to value in a type safe manner

i'd need to cast it to the component type I think 🤔

hmmm, yeah, actually (in the UIEvent) is a Variant...

for now i would just go with the `myDropdown.selectedItem.foo`

how does that workflow, work, basically "watch" the property in an update loop and keep track of state elsewhere?

```haxe
theme.onChange = function(_) {
    trace(theme.selectedItem.value);
}
```

basically just dont use the value from the event (for now)

fyi, if you are using the @:build macros you can do this in your class:

```haxe
@:bind(theme, UIEvent.CHANGE)
function foo(_) {
    trace(theme.selectedItem.value);
}
```

no real benefit except its cleaner and dont have to have a bunch of noise in the constructor

me thinks: 
* `.selectedItem` returning the object is the best option
* `.selectedIndex` or `.pos` should return the indexed position
* `.selectedId`  should be equivalent to `.selectedItem.id`
* `.value` should be equivalent to `.selectedItem.value`
* `.text` should be equivalent to `.selectedItem.text`

oh ... i miss something from the components ... did not notice it until now

haxe-ui has no `Combo-Box`, right ? like <https://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/>

there is no combobox as in a dropdown you can type in, there are searchable dropdowns though

an auto complete type thing might be a nice addition

> .value should be equivalent to .selectedItem.value
i dont think thats valid, value should be the selectedItem, as i said, this is used often in item renderers, where .value is set... forcing a structure into that means limiting the use of item renderers

Is there an event to react to size changes on component due to resizing of the stage?

http://haxeui.org/api/haxe/ui/events/UIEvent.html

`Screen.instance.registerEvent(UIEvent.RESIZE, ...)` should work as yoplala said

This worked fine, I was using addEventListener though, that's why I was getting nowhere

It has, but I can't seem to find information about the new size at that moment, just the current one

It seems to trigger before HaxeUI can react anyway

And I needed to know the new HaxeUI components size

I used this trick  Toolkit.screen.width * this.percentWidth / 100  to have the width
