  • c
    i think ill mess around with that
  • b
    Is there a way to use canvas with background image?
  • b
    currently, no, however, i guess you could kinda "layer" things with a "box": http://haxeui.org/builder/?09c74329
  • b
    Thanks.
  • b
    What is WebView for HaxeUI?
  • b
    ?
  • b
  • b
    its haxeui v1 (super super old version) it 100% wont work with current haxeui
  • b
    Yeah, why was it cancelled?
  • b
    well, its for haxeui1, and cocktail is super super old also
  • b
    it might even be that cocktail is linked to openfl (i cant remember now)... .... ... haxeui1 was an openfl only lib
  • b
    did you manage to figure this out?
  • r
    Hey sorry. I have been pretty busy. It is still happening for me, but not on iOS which is my target platform. So that is good, but unfortunately it means I have less urgency to get it fixed. But I should start to have time over the next few weeks. Hopefully that is not too much of a pain for you
  • b
    nope, thats fine with me, it was more for you, to see if you managed to work it out and if theres anything you needed from me 🙂
  • r
    oh awesome, thanks for following up. No idea how you keep track of everything haha. I am keen to figure this out, and have actually been diving more into HaxeUI source lately, so am learning my way around. Hopefully I can see for myself what might be going wrong, then ask for help to fix it 😉
  • b
    cool cool - well, let me know if you find anything, or manage to whittle down the issue 🙂

    cocktail was silex stuff with openfl ( js? )they moved from haxe to a pure js solution for their web editor tools as far as I remember, there solutions was kind of heavy? I think they mainly moved from Haxe to be compatible with pure js dev's but I might be wrong on that.
  • o
    silex sponsored/organised some of the early haxe conference ( but controlled perhaps too much ) so haxe foundation moved to self organising, perhaps that is another reason silex moved away form haxe tech. Cocktail was ambitious and I believe it probably got 90% of the way and ironing out details was v.hard. But long time ago so my memory and understanding maybe incorrect.
  • o
    gui stuff is hard as I am sure Ian knows, browsers already solved many problems so it can be easier than making from scratch so it is not surprising cocktail was abandoned.
  • b
    yeah, i very briefly looked at the code in cocktail, certainly very ambitious - im not surprised it was abandoned either

    Is there a way I'm missing to figure out what component has focus in haxeui? I have a canvas component that is interactive and I want it to receive hotkey events, but I don't want it to react to hotkeys when you're, for example, typing in a textfield in a window
  • b
    i dont think canvas component is interactive is it? I mean, i dont think it can receive focus
  • r
    Hmm, can I wrap it in something so that it can receive keyboard events?
  • r
    I was receiving them globally with heaps' Window.getInstance().addEventTarget
  • r
    but yes, if I use haxeui's registerEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN) on the canvas, it never fires
  • b
    valid point... you could wrap it in an interactive component i guess...
  • b
    im just wondering if Canvas should be interactive... 🤔
  • r
    if you imagine a 3d modelling app, my canvas is the view into the world
  • r
    so you click on it etc to manipulate the model, which currently works fine
  • b
    haxeui canvas?
