# haxe-ui
  • u
    I will have a look.
  • u
    But its conceptually improbable that it would work because I create the parent first so the parent will probably be ready beforehand.
  • b
    oh, maybe i misunderstood, you want the parent to fire an event when a child is added to it?
  • b
    something akin to:
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
var button = new Button();
vbox.onChildAdded = function(e) {
    trace("child added to vbox");
}
vbox.addComponent(button);
  • b
    (that doesnt work 
    onChildAdded
    doesnt exist, i just mean as an example)
  • u
    Yeah exactly. Do you think it would make sense to add this feature ? The plus is we can fetch stuff from the parent without needing to be markupped as such. In my situation I have Tabviews and I add tabs(or vboxes) to the tabview but the rendering in the tab depends on the tabview (custom rendering for scene preview) because the x,y, height and width are affected by the parenting.
  • b
    yeah, i mean, it sounds like it cant hurt to add it, i havent ever had a need for it personally, but that doesnt mean its not useful, and it should be fair easy to add also
  • b
    btw, something like this might have worked also:
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
myChild.onReady = function(e) {
    myChild.findAncestor(TabView).something;
}
  • b
    (if you wanted to comm with the parents of n-levels)
  • b
    it works like findComponent, can be a class, a css name, an id... or a combination

    Tableview currently doesn't implement multiselection. I have a more or less working version with code ported from listview. @User Would you consider such approach acceptable and I can make a PR or do you think that common behavior needs to be refactored into separate module?
  • b
    really? Multiselect doesnt exist for tableview? I thought it was... i would say keep it specific for tableview for now, even though it is duplication... it can be refactored out should it need be...
  • n
    Good, then I will do a bit more testing and create PR.
  • b
    unless you think otherwise ofc
  • b
    cool... sounds good... much appreciated!
  • b
    im surprised it wasnt there to be honest, i remember doing/reading something for tableview that was using listview as reference, i assumed it was selection
  • b
    hang on... there is "selectedIndices" in tableview
  • n
    Half of the code including selection property is there, but it needs 3 more functions to do the event to behavior binding
  • b
    and selectionMode
  • b
    oh
  • b
    so its there but isnt linked up??
  • n
    It's missing the function which checks current selection mode and currently pressed modifier keys
  • n
    Everything else is there, you'll see in the PR
  • b
    right, fair enough... well good catch, and PR very much appreciated!
  • b
    newbie question here: is there a builder/editor/visual way to create haxeUI apps ?
  • u
    Visual studio code and editing the xml. So pretty much nope.
  • b
    actually, there is this:
  • b
    but that is a really (really) old version so is pretty buggy
