06/04/2020, 10:30 AMah... maybe its about streching - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:33 AMI see nothing different on http://haxeui.org/builder/?ilzxwp - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:34 AM(apart imageHorizontalAlign which does nothing 😉 ) - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:34 AMbut perhaps playing with scaleMode too ? - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 10:35 AMyeah, i think its scaleMode + imageAlign... but just playing with an example to see - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:37 AMOK...let's fight another one : restrictChar....this one really bugs me - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:37 AMI'll see if I can debug haxe to wxwidget tree this way - b

06/04/2020, 10:40 AMthere is no restrictChars behaviour in wxWidgets - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:44 AMyes, trying to implement my own - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:44 AMhow could I say "#if backend wxwidgets" ? - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:47 AMoh, and there is restrictChars on wxwidgets..using wxTextValidator 🙂 - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:54 AMgot it => Backend.id - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 10:55 AMoh yeah, forgot about wxTextValidator - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 10:55 AMthe big pain there will be that to use text validator (iirc) you have to subclass it - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:56 AMI also have to fix the xml parser 😉 - u
user
06/04/2020, 10:56 AMsince it doesnt like "1234" - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 10:57 AMhmm, that turns into a number, correct? - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 10:57 AMand in this case it should be a string? - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 11:00 AM - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 11:00 AMso you could achieve the same in other ways, i dont think i wrote this code to be honest - still it does seem like i has uses - u
user
06/04/2020, 11:04 AMoh, great, avoid a box - u
user
06/04/2020, 11:04 AMand yes, "1234" is turned into a number "while a string is expected" - u
user
06/04/2020, 11:05 AMI saw several ways to handle it, I just need to find the easier one - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 11:05 AMwell, ideally, when building the code from xml, the macros would "find out" what the type of the target property is and use that - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 11:05 AMbut ill have to play a little bit and see if thats even possible at compile time - u
user
06/04/2020, 11:07 AMone easy way is to handle it by code not xml 😉 - u
user
06/04/2020, 11:09 AMI tried to react to CHANGE but if I reformat live the text and re-set it...it dispatches a CHANGE event -> infinite loop 😦 - u
user
06/04/2020, 11:09 AMI don't know how to break this loop - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/04/2020, 11:44 AMi wonder if keypress is a better candidate event? - u
user
06/04/2020, 12:59 PMyou have to convert keypress to char and so deal with keyboard layout no N
