I found a difference between platforms. I'm not able to access tab-button image in openfl ( to change the scaleMode )

for ( but in character_maker.findComponents("tabbar-button") ) {
            trace(but.childComponents); // is empty in openfl, works in js and raylib
            trace(but.findComponents(Image, 10)); // is empty in openfl, works in js and raylib
        }

where are you calling this code from?

at initialisation @:bind(this, haxe.ui.events.UIEvent.INITIALIZE)

( or rendered)

i think, in openfl, things wait for an added to stage event, which means, that the INITIALIZE event isnt the right one... you might want to try the READY event

also, initialize doesnt mean that the component is ready (ie, has children, has done its layout etc)... it means its literally just create and is about to be ready

Indeed ! Works with READY. ( But why wouldn't it work with RENDERED ? )

not sure what the rendered event is tbh

sounds like its old / legacy or in the wrong place

Sorry RENDERER_CREATED

ah, thats for item renderers, well, actually its for things that create item renderers (like listview, tableviews, treeviews, etc)... should probably move that

Ah okay, I thought it was when the component was ready and shown, it makes sense it didn't work 🙂

yeah, its probably in the wrong place to be fair

Oh btw, I'm using this code because it seems you cannot modify the scaleMode in the css. think this feature is missing, but I don't know how they do in "real" css

hmmm, "transform:scale(2)" i think (which doesnt exist in haxeui css)

the scaleMode is "fitinside" "fill" etc ...

hmmmm, right... maybe haxeui's version could be:

transform: scale(fitinside)

(but either way, it doesnt exist yet anyway, so your only option is the way you are doing it)

It seems in real css ( after ecosiaing a little) they have object-fit

Yeah indeed, I need just need to replace my INITIALIZE with READY ! 😉 Going back to it 🙂

fyi, ive never once had to use the INITIALIZE event for anything

Oh really ? I kind of use it instead of putting code inside a the new() function usually

i use "new" and "onReady"

im getting cpp compiler errors while just doing

import haxe.ui.HaxeUIApp;

with haxeui-pdcurses
