feels like a typo / completion "accept" tbh

it just feels like a weird approach

a bit further up, near the start of the handler, you have a bunch of handler code that calls Reflect and attempts to find out which button was pressed that way:

haxe
if (event.type == "pointerdown") { // handle right button mouse events better
    var which:Int = Reflect.field(event, "which");
    switch (which) {
        case 1: type = MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN;
        case 2: type = MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN; // should be mouse middle, but there is no haxe equiv (yet);
        case 3: type = MouseEvent.RIGHT_MOUSE_DOWN;
    }
} else if (event.type == "pointerup") { // handle right button mouse events better
    var which:Int = Reflect.field(event, "which");
    switch (which) {
        case 1: type = MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP;
        case 2: type = MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP; // should be mouse middle, but there is no haxe equiv (yet);
        case 3: type = MouseEvent.RIGHT_MOUSE_UP;
    }
}

i think this is because different browsers have different different "things" in the event

obviously all this stuff as to work cross browser (ie, not just chrome), but sounds like your PR will bring things more "together" anyway?

for the

image

component, can i pass a kha

Image

to it by reference?

I'm pretty sure PE usage, at least as far as which button gets reported for each button press, has been standardised for a long time, but I can change it in my dev branch and see how it plays

https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-kha/blob/master/haxe/ui/backend/ImageData.hx should be able to yeah

button.icon = khaImage image.resource = khaImge etc etc

defo need to test the PR out alot before i merge... component explorer is a good test since its basically everything... but im not going to be able to get round to it till later tonight

that's fair

another question: do you expect middle-click to trigger click events like a left-click would?

i mean... probably? I dont really have a preference, there is no support for middle click on haxeui (as of yet), so it doesnt really matter that much... even just eating the event is probably fine

I just wondered because almost all desktop browsers have an "autoscroll" option for scrolling on web pages, triggered by middle-click

i doubt that would work with haxeui though... mebbe it would...

another oddity from that previous block of code is that you can use touch-style scrolling (click-and-drag) with a mouse, but only with left- and middle-click, whereas pressing the right-mouse button immediately sends a click event

that might be to send a click event for context menus... not sure... 100% want to keep touch style scrolling though... even on desktop

ill take a look at the PR later and review the existing code

seems that

MouseEvent.buttons

lets you get all of the buttons currently held on a pointer device, rather than just the one being pressed/released, so that makes sense at least

made one more change in local branch that I'm not sure will impact anything, but it's possibly a haxeUI design decision

basically it replaces the previously mentioned code block with just checking the pointer event's reported button press (either left or right click) and setting the haxeUI event type to either

MOUSE_DOWN

or

RIGHT_MOUSE_DOWN

the reason it makes an impact is because it doesn't check for middle-click, or the optional back and forward buttons on some mice

unless there's an outcry of people who specifically use middle-click-and-drag, I don't think it makes a real difference

> an outcry of people who specifically use middle-click-and-drag doubt there will be / is - im guess no one even knows what middle mouse button is, essentially, mapped to left

(i didnt even know about it / remember 🙂 )

Hi there! I am fetching LDAP data in my app. I want to display the thumbnailPhoto (JPEG). But can't seem to find the way in haxe-ui using the IMAGE component. How should I do? From haxePHP I can display the thumbnail with :

haxe 
var  imageString = Base64.encode( Bytes.ofString( MY_JPEG_STRING));
Lib.println('<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,${imageString}"/>');

which backend?

Js

haxeui-html5? Or like haxeui-openfl targeting js?

Html5
