# haxe-ui
  • c
    perhaps
  • c
    doing this with the tools in their current state is an awful idea and i mostly did it to see if i could
  • c
    im gonna finish this project with it, because rust guis are even worse, but aside from that it's more effort than it's worth for most situations i think
  • b
    yeah, i get it.. an exploration, but seems useful
  • c
    if i could figure out how to make the c++ integration a little nicer, it would be better
  • c
    also, i can't get hxcpp to compile x64 no matter what i try
  • c
    also couldn't get it to link properly under gcc, so this is windows only at the moment
  • b
    > more effort than it's worth for most situations i think you think? So you dont think you could wrap it up to make interop between "any" rust lib and haxe simple... ... er/ish
  • c
    i could
  • c
    especially if i gave up on the interfacing and just serialised everything
  • c
    but i am probably not the right person to do it
  • b
    fair enough, defo sounds like you've already made interesting progress... at the very least it might save someone else 9 hours 😉
  • c
    heh
  • c
    i have read a lot of old threads that provided very little useful info
  • c
    was trying to use haxe's 
    cpp.NativeArray
    , 
    cpp.NativeString
    and 
    cpp.StdString
  • c
    none of those were useful in the slightest
  • c
    instead, you have to 
    #include <hxcpp.h>
    then use haxe native 
    Array
    and 
    String
  • b
    interesting
  • c
    trying to figure out how NativeArray and stuff worked was a pain
  • c
    nobody seems to have documented how haxe works
  • c
    the source code is mostly uncommented
  • c
    there are 2 or 3 separate git repos with different pieces of the implementation in
  • c
    you have to trace code paths across repos and just hope that whatever search youre using works well
  • c
    i came out of it with exactly no more knowledge than i went in with
  • b
    ... but no less... so success! 😄
  • c
    anyhow, i want to work on this more but also it's 9:30 and ive been working on this all night so
  • c
    hm, does haxeui have a widget for trees yet?
  • c
    like in filesystems
  • f
  • c
    aw yis
