03/18/2023, 10:18 AMdon't think so, now the initial selectedIndex seems to be -1, where clicking the button does correctly set to 0 and calls the onChange event - i

03/18/2023, 10:18 AMbut after that, it doesn't work - i

03/18/2023, 10:18 AMi.e. you still need selectedIndex to be -1 for it to call onChange - b

03/18/2023, 10:18 AM> selectedIndex seems to be -1 thats correct though, the initial index is -1... - i

03/18/2023, 10:19 AMyeah but before it just didn't show anything for the value - i
icy-zebra-52882
03/18/2023, 10:19 AMmaybe it was unset before - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/18/2023, 10:19 AMwhat value? The selected index? - i
icy-zebra-52882
03/18/2023, 10:19 AMoh wait, that's because I had it only updating the label in the onChange so the label would be blank initially - b

03/18/2023, 10:20 AMyeah, before the dropdown wasnt sending an event, which is does now (which is correct) - i

03/18/2023, 10:21 AMworks for the first click, while selectedIndex is -1, after that onChange isn't called - b

03/19/2023, 6:31 PMhi ian, I am developing my own UI framework in a different language and I was interested in how you decided on the UI framework and how you managed to make the same code render more or less the same across different platforms. Me and armanbilge from the typelevel scala server are talking about how we would abstract over scala JVM and scala.js, and he is saying the hard part is making the same code render more or less the same across platforms - b

03/19/2023, 6:38 PMare you trying to do native stuff, or render everything yourself? I mean, will you be in complete control of what you render, or are you going to offload it to some type of native lib? (gtk, wxwidgets, qt, etc) - s
