    yeah, i can force it to work by holding down and moving the pointer outside
  • i
    also, scrollViews seem to scroll correctly now, the dropdown behaviour is slightly different on iOS but that would be down to Firefox desktop and iOS Safari generating different events
  • i
    to match the assumed input style native to the system
  • b
    ok, so the scroll thing is sorted, right?
  • i
    yes 👍
  • i
    clicking the dropdown again when it’s open closes and then re-opens it
  • b
    so yeah, thats the same behaviour i get (i think)
  • i
    it would be easier to see if it let me record touch input locations in the video
  • i
    a knock on effect: multi-line text boxes can’t be scrolled or the cursor repositioned
  • i
    at least via touch
  • i
  • i
    well, I can reposition the cursor by tapping actually, but since it can’t scroll, I can’t access any of the later text to edit directly
  • b
    yeah, i can repro that too

    another question (you can tell I'm on holiday this week 😉): as it stands, the haxeui-flixel backend sets the width and height of XML-defined layouts when they're created. However if the OpenFL stage (accessible in flixel via 
    FlxG.stage
    ) is resized, UI elements don't refresh their size, which works sort of badly for percentage-based width and height
  • i
    flixel has ratio scaling on by default, meaning that you design for one ratio/resolution and 
    FlxG.width
    and 
    FlxG.height
    stay the same constantly throughout the game
  • i
    is it possible to refresh width and height of haxeUI components on a resize event?
  • i
    example:
    Copy code
    xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hbox width="100%" height="100%">
    <style>
        .label, * > .label {
            font-size: 24;
        }
    </style>

    <scrollview width="400px" height="100%">
        <vbox id="scrollVbox" width="100%">
            <!-- Buttons generated by code here -->
        </vbox>
    </scrollview>
    
    <vbox style="background-color: blue" width="50%" height="100%">
        <label id="eventDimensionsLabel" text="" style="color: white"/>
        <label id="stageDimensionsLabel" text="" style="color: white"/>
        <label id="flxDimensionsLabel" text="" style="color: white"/>
        <button text="Test button" />
        <slider min="0" max="100" />
        <button text="Test button" />
        <button text="Test button" />
    </vbox>
</hbox>
  • i
    with default flixel `RatioScaleMode`:
  • i
  • i
    with 
    StageSizeScaleMode
    making 
    FlxG.width
    and 
    FlxG.height
    the same as OpenFL stage: https://plzlookat.mystupid.pictures/Code_4PZwjVRZQs.mp4
  • i
    feel free to shoot down the idea; I should probably move my game's editor into its own flixel project for this purpose
  • s
    What is the difference of using haxeui-hxwidgets vs hxWidgets? For example in FileDialog and SelectFileDialogImpl
  • b
    > UI elements don't refresh their size, which works sort of badly for percentage-based width and height im not sure i follow % based items should resize when the stage resizes - maybe flixel is different in the way it resizes things? I mean, as you say, it seems to just sort of "zoom" everything
  • b
    So hxWidgets is an extern library for wxWidgets... haxeui-hxwidgets is a library that uses hxWidgets and provides other things like xml layouts, etc
  • b
    oh, i see, so this stops that zoom thing... how do you set that StageSizeScaleMode ?
  • i
    FlxG.scaleMode = new StageSizeScaleMode();
  • i
    and the update of the labels showing the dimensions is done with 
    FlxG.signals.gameResized.add(myListenerFunc);
  • b
    nice one, ill have a play after i walk el doggos

    Hum I have an idea for a dropdown improvement. I thought about using the searchable dropdown to add "tags", if the tag exist the dropdown shows it , if the tag doesn't exist, it is created when the user type enter. Now it doesn't seem I can do it, but if the dropdown returned a special event when the user type enter in the searchable textfield, it would be doable.
  • f
    I also saw some tiny bugs in the searchable dropdown, if you type something, you cannot, select the items with the keyboard anymore. And If you type the whole word "Java" for example in the component explorer, and type Enter, it doesn't select it.
