Haxe

sure, i get the null check, i mean, i dont see why it would crash at that line, indicating my line 1045 isnt the same as the line 1045 in question

Is there any way to set an icon for an application on a c++ target? for example via .rc file?

good call, ive actually got that on my command line (non node version) so i must have used it at some point

Or if you use Lime, a config in your Project.xml will also work.

I am setting the text color in a style `style="color: blue;"`. I was wondering if that might be an issue. Hmmm.... So I would need to tie the style value to a class variable to get a visible change I guess ?

ah ok - I was sort of thinking of two way data binding kind of thing. ok I'll think of something

its like html in that sense (this is html):

```html
<style>
button {
    color: red;
}
.myButton {
    color: blue;
}
</style>

<button>Button</button>
<button disabled="true">Button</button>

<br/>
<br/>

<button class="myButton">Button</button>
<button disabled="true" class="myButton">Button</button>
```

you could do this in haxeui though: http://haxeui.org/builder/?ettnpz

(first example, using css vars - basically, you set the button color to blue, then reset the disabled state to the theme value)

and if you try my example, does that have the same issue? Im thinking its _probably_ an openfl thing...

im on git version, an older git version but certainly not "last release" which i think is like 100 years old at this point 🙂

ok, I tried updating openfl and got an access violation from String.hx called from the lime renderer. Updating lime now - will see

The whole haxelib git thing while useful seems to me to rather undermine haxelib dep management

I see that haxelib git can take a tag but apparently not a commit number - I am not sure exactly how one should manage deps then

i think you need to rebuild lime / openfl if you use git versions

well that has to happen anyway right because they are source dists right ?

the haxelib git lime is taking ages. Looks like it's cloning the whole repo not just the package itself.

I don't really know what haxelib git does

Essentially `git clone <url> --recursive && haxelib dev <name> <path_where_haxelib_cloned_the_repo>`

ah .... ok .... that's build all the C extern bits ?

ok. I'll have to leave that until this evening

fair enough, i think another release (with prebuilt binaries) is coming "soon" but no idea when that will actually be
