    defo one of the more "fun" backends... 🙂
  • r
    Lately one of two things I've been missing is a multi selectable dropdown menu, so I thought I might be able to fake it up like that
  • r
    (the other thing is an indeterminate state for checkboxes, like when they can have checked, unchecked, or a square in them in html etc)
  • b
    multi selectable dropdown as in, say, a dropdown with a bunch of items and checkboxes and can select more than one and have it display like "item1, item2, item3" in the button?
  • r
    To avoid over generalizing the problem: in a dropdown list property in a property grid, I want to be able to click multiple items in the list and get back an array of all items clicked. On opening the dropdown, all selected items would be highlighted.
  • r
    I don't actually need the individual entries to have checkboxes etc in them, I just figured that was one way I could achieve this if it was already supported
  • b
    right, so the default dropdown list doesnt support multiple selections, listview however does (and thats all dropdown uses), so you technically create your own dropdown handler to show "your" listview with multiple selections, the "custom handler" here http://haxeui.org/explorer/#basic/dropdowns might help, you will have to do a little wiring yourself though
  • r
    I can live with that, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
  • b
    probably worth noting that with the "item pickers" im working on i would hope something like this to be a little simpler (hell, i might even just expose "multiple" on list-item-picker)
  • b
    i was also about to point you to listview selection modes: http://haxeui.org/builder/?a48e4099 ... but its bugged (i havent used it once i dont think, so ill need to see whats going on there)
  • r
    Indeed, that one doesn't seem to be working 😅
  • b
    nope, prolly something dumb... ill get it sorted as it is there for a reason, even if i never needed / used it
  • c
    Oh, I thought it was the opposite. Does pdcurses work on windows only?
  • b
    i think it should work on anything, iirc i just had some linker issues, so some hxcpp stuff... at least thats my memory...
  • b
    alright, its working now: http://haxeui.org/builder/?2e1fcb9f

    👍
  • r
    It occurs to me after trying to check this on mobile that you can't hold shift on mobile 😅
  • r
    I will give it a spin when I'm next at the pc.

    (i wouldnt use the last method, just there for illustration)
  • h
    danke
  • c
    Web or desktop ?
  • b
    haxeui-html5, so browser... but other backends should look / work the same / similar
  • b
    (not native hxwidgets though obviously)
