its really up to you ofc, but i just think the idea of logic in xml is... ... smelly... the fact it even exists in haxeui doesnt sit well - i wont remove it, but i probably should 🙂

(for modules its makes sense, thats compile time stuff - it seems i extended it to the xml parser in general)

Yh, I should probably handle it properly, I'm gonna get this done tomorrow probably though bc I'm getting tired of coding for this evening 😅 I agree that it doesn't feel right to have logic in an xml like that

it happens though, and even without xml, you can end up putting debug logic in dumb places... so yeah, its a tough one... sleep on it - the solution will present itself to a clear mind 🙂

Yes, that's what usually happens 😅 Thanks for the advice!

Hi, using haxeui-html5 is there a way to add an iframe tag (both from code and xml) to embed another html document?

you can by making a custom component

eg:

(i think ill add the above as an example in the component explorer as its probably quite useful for other to see how things are wired up)

ok, added

Wow, thanks

what would be the "best" backend to pick if i wanted to make a desktop app that works on both windows and linux. i know i could use like openfl but afaik that wouldnt follow any themeing on a linux DE

if you are after an OS native app then your only option really is haxeui-hxwidgets

is there a pacman package for wxwidgets?

the hxwidgets readme only shows apt

wxwidgets packages are likely crazy out of date - my advice is build it from sources - its super easy on linux

true

although pacman is usually fairly up to date if the package is actually maintained at all because thats just how arch is

unlike apt

Arch has wxWidgets 3.2.0, which is from 7 July.

There is a problem though, the Arch package doesn't ship with

wx-config

.

Ah no, the gtk version does ship with

wx-config

.

Looks like there's breaking changes in wxWidgets 3.2

How does the link component work? I can't find how to set its url. Or maybe I'm looking were I shouldn't for a hyperlink?

i think this is fixed... are you messing with git hxwidgets?

it doesnt do anything really by default, just an click event

Just pulled the latest commit, still the same error.

i thought this should fix it: https://github.com/haxeui/hxWidgets/commit/2142a79eb8abfeccafed16a033a3b8ecba1e5b1e

maybe its not detecting the versions correctly
