    A theoretical webview component would be completely optional (Ian suggested it would be a separate library) and therefore have no impact on use cases such as games.
  • b
    yeah, agreed, if it were to be done (and i still dont think its a great idea, at least not for certain backends) then it would almost certainly be an external lib / module
  • b
    ... i may have gone slightly overboard with my test app 😄
  • i
    bloody hell
  • i
    looks amazing though
  • i
    considering it went from a draggable window to almost full window manager inside the existing framework
  • b
    yeah, ill add docking at some point, but i should probably get my head out my arse and do something else... helluva rabbit hole 😄
  • b
    dark theme is quite nice too
  • f
    🤣 I found this sentence quite funny. 🐇 🐇 What exactly is the rabbit hole ? 😛
  • b
    ... ... from alice in wonderland

  • f
    I meant you were talking about having your head in your arse juste before ...... and then talking about a rabbit hole. I was not sure what you were describing 😛
  • b
    hahahahahahahahahahaha 🤦‍♂️
  • f
    😆 But as usual great work, I 'am always excited to see video of potentially new features .
  • h
    seriously mixed metaphor - nicely done on the window manager - and yeah docking would be nice - I had some reason recently where I thought it would be nice in some UI thinking - can't recall what
  • b
    haxeui (experimental) window manager is now in haxeui-core, there are also three new examples in the builder: * http://haxeui.org/explorer/#containers/windows * http://haxeui.org/explorer/#containers/windows/multiple_managers * http://haxeui.org/explorer/#examples/employee_app
  • r
    congratulations it is very promising ! Testing a little : in employee app > human resource window, shrinking it too much from south east corner makes the window overflow/explode, and while still dragging the corner, "unshrinking" is difficult/inconsistent.
  • b
    yeah, min / max width height still need to be implemented, but im actually kinda sick of looking at it at this point 😄
  • b
    but if i didnt commit it, i would spend all day tomorrow pissing about with it, and i need to get on with other stuff... heh heh
  • r
    👍 already amazing for a first sprint !
  • r
    Seems no matter what I do (rolling back through various haxelib git versions) I can't seem to find the point where it broke. I might be missing something
  • b
    can you gif your behaviour? Seems sensible this end
  • b
    im on latest haxeui-core, latest haxeui-flixel, latest flixel (well, dev branch, but i think that is 5.0 also at this point), git openfl (a8fd90ecc0c485fb4b039b7d6d490eb63438e91b), git lime (4c821525b425664a2bf968597d243b069c088171)

    this should be fixed now on latest haxeui-flixel (git)... you do need to call ".screenCenter()" after a component has been added to the state though (unless its not autosized, then you can call it anywhere):
    Copy code
    haxe
        var button = new Button();
        button.text = "Center";
        add(button);
        button.screenCenter();
  • i
    is there a way to specify which column a component should appear in within a grid layout?
  • i
    I have some dropdowns with labels, but if the label for one gets too long then it offsets the dropdown onto the next line and messes up the layout of the rest of the form
  • i
    I can use 
    <hbox>
    with fixed width and have 
    horizontalAlign
    props set for the components within, but it's nowhere near as clean as something like 
    <label column="1" />
  • i
    actually even that doesn't work
  • b
    so the short answer is "no", grid layout takes the components, regardless of how many and places them in the grid based on the number of columns not some index.
  • b
    That said, you can use spacers, and other sub components as items in the column:
