this still doesnt work, ill have to think about a good way to handle this now

fyi, a problem with this method is not all char widths are equal (unless its a monospace font)... ie

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII_IIIIIIIIIIII

isnt the same pixel length as

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXX

(in non monospaced fonts)

Ok thanx

Thanks for the update; I can confirm theme.icon works now 👍 As for changing with the theme: it looks like it uses the icons for the theme set at startup - it just doesn't update when the theme changes.

Query: In the Window component, what does the button I marked here do?

"collapse" now i think about it, it might not be implemented... whoops 😄

That would explain it!

😄

I was thinking it might be something wild like "pop out into a new native window" and my pop blocker was killing it

Hey Ian, in

haxeui-flixel

, in the

ComponentImpl

class there is a

_overrideSkipTransformChildren

variable. It is private and set to

true

. But it seems to be causing me issues when I set the

hidden

property on some components. If I change it to

false

then things seem to work for me. Do you know the reason why it is true? And is there maybe a way I can set this from my code, without modifying haxeui-flixel itself?

you can shadow the class to change the "source" file without actually changing the source file, but you can also use private access with this https://haxe.org/manual/lf-access-control.html

Oh, interesting. I did not know about the

:access

thing. Thanks!

although you should probably say what kind of issues you are having as its probably like that for a reason

For shadowing a class, would I have to shadow the entire class? Or can I shadow, impliment one function, then have it use all the other source from the original file? Or is shadowing going to override everything with my new class

the haxe compiler will ignore the file from the library

so you have to copy the entire file basically

ok, that's what I thought. All good. I just need the private access for now. I have mentioned the original issue I am having a few times, and have got some really good help. But just need something working now. I can revisit the actual issue later. Thanks for you help 🙂

Anybody have any good examples of a date picker using HaxeUI, but for mobile. The one I see in the Component Explorer does not seem ideal for mobile touch screens

I will just use a couple of dropdowns 🙂

I noticed on this page (http://haxeui.org/api/getting-started/next-steps.html), the last two links, "haxeui-api" and "haxeui-guides" have their links reversed

Id be interested in what you come up with for mobile version

do you have a minimal repro, i think this is important (sometimes) so that it doesnt apply certain things to all of the FlxGroups children - tbh, its been a bit of a pain

When I have some time I am definitely keen to get a minimal repo for ya. Looking through the git logs, I can tell it has been a pain 😄 Definitely seems like the kind of thing that never has a solid solution that fits all cases

exactly, yeah... its been ping ponging :/

I have had all sorts of issues because of that one

true

on

_overrideSkipTransformChildren

😄 From buttons, or content areas not showing up when toggling the

hidden

property. To progress bar components not... doing their.... progress bar thing. But I also don't want to waist too much time, because I think it might just be for Flash/AIR. Although I also need to check that. I am just under some deadlines right now, so working around it, until I have time to think

> But I also don't want to waist too much time, because I think it might just be for Flash/AIR. Although I also need to check that. i doubt that its just air - it triggers behaviour in flixel in general > I have had all sorts of issues because of that one true on _overrideSkipTransformChildren 😄 hmmmm, maybe it should be "off" then... dunno, really need to get some test apps together and put this to bed once and for all > I am just under some deadlines right now, so working around it, until I have time to think i know the feeling - what are you building out of curiosity (or is it top secret?)

Unfortunately it is secret at the moment, but it is a pretty cool project involving helping kids with hearing problems. Might be able to talk about it in a month or so 🙂

how can I add a listener for specifically when the checkbox part of an item renderer changes without it also seeing when the label for the box is clicked

the renderer:

xml
<tree-view id="unitSelector" width="100%" height="100%" styleName="full-width">
  <item-renderer layoutName="horizontal" width="100%">
    <label id="text" verticalAlign="center" width="100%"/>
    <checkbox id="checked" verticalAlign="center"/>
  </item-renderer>
  <item-renderer id="expandable" layoutName="horizontal" width="100%">
    <label id="text" verticalAlign="center" width="100%"/>
  </item-renderer>
</tree-view>

I want to add a listener for explicitly when the checkbox of the first renderer is changed
