08/29/2022, 6:12 AMis there a way to combine the tree view and list view as menus examples together? - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:13 AMi.e. very simple tree structure on the left with two nodes in the root, each of which contains several elements that behave like this - b

08/29/2022, 6:14 AMyou might be able to use a custom renderer to achieve that - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:15 AMalthough, this wouldnt work on native (since there is no treeview currently) - c

08/29/2022, 6:15 AMaaa - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:17 AMtrying to replicate a layout someone did in tkinter in python except nicely and it occurred to me that i could use listviews to make it look nicer, but i need the tree stuff too - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:17 AMdo you have an image of the screen? - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:18 AMi want to translate it to haxeui because the original makes me feel a bit sick looking at it - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:18 AMis that just a treeview though? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:19 AMalso, as i mentioned, there is no treeview in haxeui-hxwidgets... maybe i should stop putting it off and just add it 🙂 - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:19 AMheh - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:19 AMmore or less, though there's only ever one layer of tree - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:19 AMtwo layers, depending on how you count it, i suppose - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:20 AMi think if you are going to go the native route, there defo no way you are going to be able to combine the treeview and the "listview as menu" - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:20 AMwelp - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:21 AMok, so, assuming i don't do that - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:21 AMthe native treeview (if it existed) would literally just be a native tree view - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:21 AMi assume what i would want to do is have a stack on the right and then a treeview on the left - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:21 AMthen do something for onchange on the treeview - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:22 AMyeah, sounds about right... - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:23 AMill knock up a native counterpart to treeview once ive had enough coffee, shouldnt be too hard (i think all the parts are there - ive just been being lazy) - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:23 AMnice - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:23 AMso how do you get the currently selected location? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:23 AMselectedNode - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:23 AMone website is saying selectedLocation but that doesnt seem to work - c
clever-yak-82528
08/29/2022, 6:23 AMthis gets the node but then how do i get the location in the list? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:24 AMi think you can turn a node into a path.. two secs - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:25 AMok, so it would bemyTreeView.selectedNode.nodePath() - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:25 AMthere is an optional param in nodePath which is what field you would like it to use from its data - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/29/2022, 6:26 AMif its not set, it will use either "id", "nodeId" or "text" (in that order of precedence)
