07/03/2022, 9:55 AMthe difference is that h/vbox lay things out horizontally or vertically and components will never overlap - box allows overlapping by doesnt do any axis based layout (though it does do vertical / horizontal alignment) - b

07/03/2022, 9:59 AMby the way, in this window I can't fit the buttons added through the class, I just need to add width="number" at the top? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 10:00 AMyou should be able to, it should autosize by default - lemme check your app real quick - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 10:00 AMbut in your xml, you arent setting a with or height and the buttons fit fine - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 10:01 AMoh, thats a different app - b

07/03/2022, 10:06 AM... native dialogs are such a pain! :/ - s
silly-alligator-51979
07/03/2022, 10:08 AMmaybe I should use a different kind of window for this? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 10:10 AMnope, its 100% the right type, its just got the size wrong for some reason - b

07/03/2022, 11:05 AMI want to try to add the image again later, but as a separate component for the DropFiles event. (just so that there is a choice between buttons and a field with an image for this) There is a difference in which directory to put the module file.xml? src or assets, and how to specify prefix correctly? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 11:06 AMmodule.xml has to be on the classpath, so assets wont work (unless its on the classpath), src is a good choice - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 11:06 AM(haxeui scans the classpath looking for
)module.xml - s
silly-alligator-51979
07/03/2022, 11:33 AMI see a black dot instead of an image module.xml
main-view.xml<resource path="assets/icons" prefix="images" />
maybe I'm writing the path incorrectly? i'll try<image resource="assets/icons/logo-haxe.png" />
ok, it works"images/logo-haxe.png" - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 11:47 AMso yeah, the prefix changes the path - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/03/2022, 11:47 AMassets/icons => images - b

07/03/2022, 12:45 PMI mean, the layout is able to overlap, and doesn't have alignment
