  • i
    another question: should changing a dropdown's 
    selectedIndex
    trigger its 
    onChange
    callback? I have one bound via the 
    @:bind
    metadata, but it doesn't trigger when 
    selectedIndex
    is changed manually via code
  • a
    none but ian has said that its possible to add support for others. the xml system is like a "backend"
  • a
    you can add another one if you wish
  • b
    I can't find info about how it's implemented.
  • b
    Neither for tink.
  • r
    building in some macros to type width="100%"/height= etc has saved me a lot of keystrokes :D
  • a
    crap i can't recall the term to search for to answer teezex's question 😆
  • b
    🥲
  • a
    out of curiosity what would be the one you would want?
  • f
  • b
    Still html.
  • a
    that's it!! nice memory yoplala 😄
  • b
    I didn't figure out how tink-html should work.
  • a
    ohhh i see, why not just use haxeui and target the html5 backend?
  • f
    in fact if you type in:haxe-ui yaml, you can see there were a few discussions about it since 2019
  • a
    use haxeui containers to design the page and it'll do the magic of generating the page for you
  • b
    I need it for a game.
  • a
    why is that an issue? 🤔
  • b
    It's just a single part of it.
  • b
    I want it to make ui easily customizable by user.
  • a
    you can interface with haxeui from both xml and code
  • b
    Do you mean adding components directly through Haxe? var MyButton:Button = new Button()
  • b
    It's not what I mean. Xml is not as common as html. I need a parser from a file in the game directory which player can replace with his own.
  • b
    haxeui isnt html though... you might be able to get away with turning the user html into xml but even then there are things that arent going to match up
  • b
    i guess technically, you could create components for , , etc
  • b
    but im not really understanding what the purpose is here, to let the user write html5 and it become a haxeui? Because depending on what they are expecting its not going to work out for them
  • f
    Do you have an example of what the file would be like ?
  • b
    I've discovered that html can be inserted as a block in xml, but i'm not sure it fits.
  • b
    Um, just a common html page providing navbar and modals. It should have some links to in-game sections and support both internal and external css.
  • b
    haxeui doesnt (and cant) parse html though... it can parse xml, and yeah, you can add other formats, but html5 is a very different thing its not a "format" really, its a document model
