    @WillNa as i'm digging around, i believe " trace " is the key to solving this menubar issue i have. About to try a few things, wouldnt have been on my mind if you hadnt mentioned trace earlier.
  • c
    Trying to figure this out reminds me of the ex that drove me to drinkin'
  • c
    🙂
  • b
    @User - the build is failing i think because of the GH actions rather than the actual code build failing - ill take a look at it
  • b
    @User - what are you trying to do?
  • b
    @User - i think ListView does have some special rules for native / composite in wxWidgets, as you want to be able to use item renderers but three is no native counterpart... do you have an example?
  • b
    are you trying to open a dialog in response to a menu event?
  • c
    Trying to make the About, under the Help tab in Menubar..... bring up a dialog box for now, but want it to open and xml Dialog box
  • b
    right... two secs
  • c
    alright
  • c
    its been a learning experience, i can say that.
  • c
    lol
  • b
    it should be pretty straight forward, unless im missing something, im not sure how you would expected it to work
  • c
    sometimes i tend to over complicate things.
  • c
    it seemed like i was close or right on the verge of.... but just didnt hit that sweet spot of making it happen
  • b
    so, my main looks like:
  • b
    Copy code
    xml
<vbox width="100%">
    <menubar width="100%">
        <menu text="Menu">
            <menu-item text="Show Dialog" id="showDialog" />
        </menu>
    </menubar>
</vbox>
  • b
    the main class looks like (not ive just used the defaul generated main.hx, but in reality i would have created a MainView custom component):
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
class Main {
    public static function main() {
        var app = new HaxeUIApp();
        app.ready(function() {
            var main:Component = ComponentMacros.buildComponent("assets/main.xml");
            app.addComponent(main);

            var menuBar = main.findComponent(MenuBar);
            menuBar.onMenuSelected = function(e:MenuEvent) {
                switch (e.menuItem.id) {
                    case "showDialog":
                        var dialog = new MyDialog();
                        dialog.onDialogClosed = function(e:DialogEvent) {
                            trace("you clicked: " + e.button);
                        }
                        dialog.show();
                }
            }
            
            app.start();
        });
    }
}
  • b
    (if i was using a MainView custom component then i could have just used 
    @:bind(mainMenu, MenuEvent.MENU_SELECTED)
    )
  • b
    and the MyDialog just looks like this:
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
@:build(haxe.ui.macros.ComponentMacros.build("assets/mydialog.xml"))
class MyDialog extends Dialog {
    public function new() {
        super();
        buttons = DialogButton.SAVE | DialogButton.CANCEL | DialogButton.YES;
        title = "My super dialog";
    }
    
}
  • b
    Copy code
    xml
<vbox>
    <image resource="haxeui-core/styles/default/haxeui.png" />
</vbox>
  • c
    earlier i was trying to use @:build like i had seen in some examples of yours, but.... i kept getting errors for some reason.
  • b
    maybe the path to your xml is wrong?
  • b
    thats the whole project
  • c
    a few hours ago it was .... could have kicked myself for that
  • c
    thank you, i'll try that... and I believe WillNa was trying to update changes to ListView.
  • c
    i may have overlooked it, but i couldnt find an onItemChange...... only an onChange
  • c
    for what Will was doing
