    since property seems like a "meta" thing, why not do something like . . . 
    <meta type="property" name="..." bind=".." />
    This is totally just another way to write what you say; but, I think, it may make a lot of sense if you plan on extending meta-features without reserving so many property names
  • b
    yeah, thats a great idea
  • b
    nice and seperated... and, one of things i wasnt happy about "" was what if you wanted a custom component called "property", which is more than feasable
  • h
    I was thinking the same thing
  • b
    👍
  • b
    great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ...
  • b
    😄
  • h
    I've not heard of the second part of that phrase but now I'll have that in mind hahaha
  • b
    hahaha, yeah
  • h
    So here's something . . . right now I'm trying to do a make-shift component similar to google calendar's timeline thing. I'm really doing the quickest path, probably most inefficient too, of mocking it and my idea seems really dumb. But, what do you think of mocking this by layering 1: a table for the base timeline 2: floating elements (the blue blocks) inside of an absolute element.
  • h
    I haven't seen what the grid can do entirely but I don't imagine it supports the ability to replicate this too easily
  • b
    grid wont allow you to overlap things
  • h
    Gotcha. And I guess it's really just a limitation of what could be shown through xml, since this is better handled through imperative code
  • b
    im not even sure table will do what you want it to... is that screen shot above haxeui? Or just a mock up in a prototyping app?
  • h
    that's google calendar, I'm trying to mock that view
  • b
    i think a scrollview with an absolute for its contents, and then position everything where you want it manually
  • b
    ofc, that could be wrapped into a custom component with util functions for doing that "smartly" ie, "addItem(new Date())"
  • h
    Definitely the direction I was headed in; I hope I can get this view done in about 2 hours or less haha
  • b
    just a fake mockup of it? or a working component?
  • h
    kind of both, I know the fake mockup will take me a considerable amount of time since I'm so unfamiliar with haxeui still
  • h
    but I'm doing my best haha
  • b
    its all completely fake ofc, but that type of thing?
  • b
    Copy code
    xml
<vbox style="padding: 5px;">
    <style>
    .item {
        border: 1px solid #888888;
        background-color: #CCCCFF;
        border-radius: 5px;
        padding: 5px;
        filter: drop-shadow(1, 45, #000000, 0.15, 1, 1, 1, 3, false);
    }

    <scrollview width="500" height="500" contentWidth="100%">

                </box>

        </hbox>    
    </scrollview>
</vbox>
  • h
    Oh wow yeah, man that's very very similar
  • h
    and I don't imagine it would be hard to wrap the labels into boxes that extend 100% width . . . so that's pretty damn good haha
  • h
    Dude thank you so much! That's a great start
  • b
    yeah, and get the custom component to expose so functions to inteliigently place "boxes" in the absolute based on times
  • b
    no worries 🙂
  • h
    I will definitely be moving on to that as soon as I can haha - you saved me a lot of time though, I really appreciate it
  • b
    i would even be tempted to make the component understand datasources too ;) Its probably waaaay out of scope though for now, and more for the "final", real component
