In fact I send it to you now 🙂

import haxe.ui.components.Label;
import haxe.ui.util.Timer;
import haxe.ui.containers.VBox;


@:xml('
<vbox width="100%" height="100%">
<label id="label"/>
</vbox>')
class A009 extends VBox { 
    public function new() {
        super();
        label.htmlText = " <b>{{LALA}}</b>"; // this works

        Timer.delay(function f() {
            var lab = new Label();
            //addComponent(lab); if the lab is added before it works
            
            lab.htmlText = " <b>{{LALA}}</b>";  // crashes here !
            // lab.htmlText = "<b> LALA </b>";  // this works in all cases
            addComponent(lab);
            

        }, 2000);
    }

}

You don't need to have {{LALA}} defined in a locale

is the timer required?

It seems required

weird

ill check it out tomorrow

Yes, it the weirdest bug I've seen, it seems to send the exact same string, my brain cannot conceive it lol 😵

Good night ! 🙂

Okay, just had an idea. Maybe it has to the timing of setting th wxlabel. When you're using the translation, maybe it isn't set at the same time ... Now, good night ! 😉

Oh , in fact it's not a htmlText bug , it's a text bug. It does the same for simple .text

hmmm, weird... so i wonder if the locale stuff is "forcing" something before something is ready... certainly shouldnt be the case

Playing around with HaxeUI Kha, I noticed that

ComponentGraphics

isn't implemented. It seems that rendering in that backend occurs per-component using the

renderTo

function. Since

ComponentGraphics

doesn't implement

Component

, the implementation can't access that directly. If I were to try to create a non-dummy

ComponentGraphicsImpl

, would the most idiomatic way be to: - create a custom subclass of

Component

, like

ComponentGraphicsRenderer

, defined private to

ComponentGraphicsImpl.hx

- on instantiation of

ComponentGraphicsImpl

, create a

ComponentGraphicsRenderer

with reference to the

ComponentGraphics

object, and add as a child of the

Component

- override the

renderTo

functions in

ComponentGraphicsRenderer

to execute the draw commands in

ComponentGraphics

I'm wary about modifying the

Component

tree upon instantiation of the

ComponentGraphics

object since it seems like various systems depend on consistent order and type of child components. The only other way I can think to do it would be to modify

ComponentImpl

to allow delegation in

renderTo

, but that seems like a deeper and gnarlier change.

so i would probably be inclined to go down a route similar to the raylib one, that is, it caches the draw commands and then paints them:

oh that's much tidier than either approach I had in mind

no promises I'll pull this together since

renderCustom

is meeting my current needs. but if I do I'll submit a PR

thanks!

sounds good 🙂 Even if its just half way there, submit it as i (or you, or anyone) can fill in the blanks... im surprised i forgot about kha here tbh

should be fixed now

Nice ! Fixed Indeed ! 🙂

Kudos

yeah, was a good catch... localemanager would wait for "initialize" event if the component wasnt ready... which on other backends was "fine" but on hxwidgets meant that the native component hadnt been created yet

i cant think why i went with initialize in the first place, but it certainly seems like the wrong event

who knows ? Maybe it was the suggestion of your IDE 🙂

possibly... "past Ian" probably just thought "yeah, nice, init seems before ready, thats a good thing... ... right? right?!?!"

haha, but then it worked (nearly everywhere) so it seemed like a great idea. Actually, translations in menu didn't work on hxwidgets, ( not just the window menu bar ) I wonder, if your fix could have corrected this. (goes checking)

im not sure it will, menus are a very special thing in wx... they dont really fit into the rest of haxeui-hxwidgets and have to be handled specially (they arent even technically "windows" in wxWidgets)

ill add it to the list to check it out
