# haxe-ui
  • b
    what about interaction?
  • b
    wouldnt "rendering it to a texture" basically make it static?
  • p
    Good point. But thinking about it: is rendering to a texture even needed? On macOS you're in an AppKit environment anyway, so you could just add the view to the appkit rendering hierarchy as you'd do in a true native app, and then you just need to make a virtual haxeui component that repositions the webview as needed.
  • b
    yeah, i think thats how you would have to go... but it wouldnt work "right"... it would be floating over the UI (or whatever, display objects)
  • b
    acceptable maybe, but not "right"
  • p
    But that shouldn't be noticeable for the user.

    I was watching a video of the SerenityOS guy making a QT browser using their engine and they basically did that and just hook in events
  • e
    a webview element or whatever would be nice to have, but didnt this start as "why not embed electron to just use full css"
  • b
    if things overlap its noticable... i mean, if you make sure things never overlap it can be "alright"
  • p
    Unless AppKit is stupid and doesn't let you manually position/constrain elements, that shouldn't be a problem.

    Serenity has its own browser engine, but might be kinda helpful as a reference?
  • r
    Can probably do something similar with webkit or whatever
  • b
    well, but i mean, say you get it in openfl as an embedded window (or whatever the term is for webkit)... OK, so now you want, lets say, an openfl display object behind it, and an openfl display object in front. That wouldnt be possible (unless im misunderstanding)
  • b
    ie, its not in the openfl display object tree
  • b
    same goes for clip rects and a bunch of other stuff
  • p
    Yes, having something on top of the webview wouldn't be possible, since the OpenGL/Metal layer is beneath the regular appkit layer (afaik).
  • b
    yeah, i mean, it may be perfectly acceptable, but its not in the framework display tree, so there are things that dont work well, or at all. Its the same, at that point, as using openfl targeting js and having a floating iframe in the webpage... certainly can work (ive done it) but its certainly less than ideal

    How do I "run" haxe code within my xml haxeui view and run code on a component from within my haxeui view outside of the xml file?
  • f
    trying to move my display code from code to xml files
  • b
  • b
    im not sure thats a great idea, its no "an issue" per se, but one thing that is generally a good idea (at least imo) is to keep presentation and logic seperate... ... that said, its totally your footgun to load 🙂
  • b
    (re-reading im not sure im not sure if any of the above was actually what you were asking)
  • f
    I need to format strings in my hxe then pass those those to my template and update them when game events trigger...
  • b
    ... ... okay... Is there some problem with doing that? In haxe code or haxeui "script"? (which i just haxe code btw)
  • f
    How to I tell my xml that xyz happenned and tell it to update the UI accordingly
  • f
    And I need to import hx_arabic_shaper to display arabic strings in haxeui
  • b
    im not sure what you mean by "tell my xml that xyz happenned"... when you use xml (in haxeui) it literally just builds a bunch of code for you
  • b
    Copy code
    c0 = new Button()
c1.addComponent(c0)
    type stuff
  • f
    I need to listne to external events.
