well someone has to emit those events, I just need to find the right place to hook into, to be able to sneak in some events of my own

> well someone has to emit those events thats assuming its event based, ie, SDL gets the SDL_KEYDOWN event... ... ... then? Does it lime send it as an event? I simply dont know (i would assume its an event, but i have no idea what happens after that)

appreciate your insight, I feel like I know next to nothing about all the graphics stuff... I've posted a question on OpenFl's discourse, so we'll see what suggestions they might have

it looks like haxeui-core is always getting included after haxeui-openfl, and thats why file dialogs dont work for me

ill try to solve it and send my solution

i just did:

haxe
class X extends Dialog 
{
  ...
  public function new() {
    ...
    addComponent(buttonbar)
  }
}

so it makes sense im not adding to the dialog's content, but the dialog itself

its like that in every compilation target, doesnt matter if i remove export

the solution is to lose the "Impl" that exists in core... it seems haxelib order cant be relied upon...

maybe typedef it 🤷‍♂️

not really, dialog essentially overrides the addComponent to make sure components are added to the dialog content, so your code seems reasonable, and i would have expected it to add it to the dialog content, so something else is going on - ill check it out

do:

haxe
#if (framework1 || framework2...)
typedef SomethingImpl = haxe.ui.backend.SomethingImpl
#else
class SomethingImple ....

thats not really going to help, basically the shadowing isnt working as i would have expected / like it to... its fine, ill just dump the Impl in core... no biggie really

yeah, i try to avoid this type of stuff

actually yes biggie, thats a bunch of bloat

or is it?

just dont want it to be a standart

not really: https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-core/commit/e81b9f1244c84c210ead197480e3b4b1ca12f67f

oh

merge it then 😄

if you pull latest it should work now... CI for a bunch of backends will fail now, but thats fine... ill just add that Impl to each backend... which is what would happen eventually anyway

yeah it works :DDD

you sure you arent doing something strange? I just tried:

haxe
class MyDialog extends Dialog {
    public function new() {
        super();
        var bb = new VerticalButtonBar();
        bb.addComponent(new Button()).text = "Button 1";
        bb.addComponent(new Button()).text = "Button 2";
        bb.addComponent(new Button()).text = "Button 3";
        bb.addComponent(new Button()).text = "Button 4";
        addComponent(bb);
    }
}

haxe
        someButton.onClick = function(_) {
            var d = new MyDialog();
            d.show();
        }

and i get:

i did

.showDialog(false)

same

probably me doing something goofy

can you paste the whole dialog file?

i honestly dont know how you can do something goofy tbh... so it defo smells like a bug... just a weird one

maybe test on html?
