im heading out for dinner, but lets maybe keep this in a thread from now on? Its literally flooding the channel for days 😄

sure, sorry lol

but just fixed checkbox

new component (work in progress): tag / taglist

I like that

stupidly simple 🙂

uhhh, so i'm a complete noob to haxeui, and i tried to make a basic class just for testing here's the haxe file:

hx
package ui;

import haxe.ui.containers.VBox;

@:build(haxe.ui.ComponentBuilder.build("assets/main.xml"))
class App extends VBox
{
    public function new()
    {
        super(); 
        
        visible = true;
    }
}

and here's the xml

xml
<vbox width="100%" height="100%">
    <menubar width="100%">
        <menu text="File">
            <menuitem text="Open File"/>
        </menu>
    </menubar>
</vbox>

But.... the output is this

if you're wondering, here's Main.hx

hx
package;

import haxe.ui.Toolkit;
import openfl.display.Sprite;

class Main extends Sprite
{
    var app:ui.App;

    public function new()
    {
        super();

        Toolkit.init();
        Toolkit.theme = "DARK";

        app = new ui.App();
        addChild(app);
    }
}

i think the issue here is that the theme you tried to load "DARK" isnt a theme "dark" is

though arguably, it shouldnt be case sensitive... .... ... ? 🤔

it also might make sense to spit out some warnings if the theme cant be found, so at least you know whats going on

that might be a problem too but, it isn't really the main issue

but the issue really is that the text is being loaded for some reason, but not clickable

are you saying if you remove the

Toolkit.theme = "DARK";

line, its the same?

i could try to do that, but i don't think that would affect the fact that everything is broken

im not sure i follow the "everything is broken"... if the theme isnt loaded then there is no way for haxeui to know how to display things...

ohh

yep that was the problem

text will still display, but it wont look like anything

ok i'll try to do lowercase

i put it uppercase because it was like that on the documentation

lowercase will work fine

which docs?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(you put it in uppercase btw)

oops spelling error

ah... ok, thats a constant... so

Toolkit.theme = Theme.DARK

would have also been fine

yep, lowercase works
