07/22/2020, 6:35 AMyeah, defaults to textarea as you say, which is pretty basic - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 6:35 AMie, its just a scrollable text field - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 6:35 AMno syntax highlight, etc - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 6:36 AMits not really a code editor at all, one of the basic haxeui components, but a fair default - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 6:36 AMi did create a syntax hightlight for openfl ages and ages ago, but it was painfully slow - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 6:36 AMmight be alot better now though to be fair - b

07/22/2020, 6:37 AMthat was for v1 - b

07/22/2020, 6:38 AMmaybe at some point ill try again, but iirc it was slow and i tried to add fake threads to it (greenthreads) and then it got all flickery - f

07/22/2020, 11:12 AMI've been thinking about putting a markdown editor in my program so that documents can be associated with places and entities in the world (this is a longterm feature). It'd be neat to do that with Haxe UI, but it strikes me as a hell of a lot of work, from what I've learnt from Kha Haxe UI textfields. - f

07/22/2020, 11:12 AMAnd by markdown editor I mean headings look like headings, bold things are bolded, etc. Obviously not just markdown without rendering 😆 - b

07/22/2020, 11:29 AMyeah, doesnt sound easy - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 11:29 AMesp with the fact that the textfield in kha is all one text colour, or font size, etc - f
fast-rain-20339
07/22/2020, 11:30 AMExactly - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 11:30 AMi guess you could render rich text, but its not gonna be a simple thing - b

07/22/2020, 11:30 AMsweet! - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 11:31 AMkinda crazy what a difference tweaks can actually make to a UI - f
fast-rain-20339
07/22/2020, 11:31 AMYeah! - f

07/22/2020, 11:34 AMHey, anything about this jump out at you? I'm trying to fix a big and not sure where to start debugging. Seems like the yellow is flashing at the rate of a textfield cursor? That's the only regular timer I can think of, but I don't even have the textfield active. The yellow is a custom shader g4 rendered quad that should render to the full screen, completely ignoring haxe UI - b

07/22/2020, 11:35 AMyikes, thats weird - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 11:35 AMremove the text field to make sure? - b
bright-gpu-74537
07/22/2020, 11:35 AMor disable the timer in it - f

07/22/2020, 11:35 AMI know right 😛 I thought computers worked logically - f
fast-rain-20339
07/22/2020, 11:35 AMGood idea, I'll try that. - f
fast-rain-20339
07/22/2020, 11:38 AMDidn't fix it, but, on native (that video is html5): The flashing doesn't happen, and resizing when not on the main tab doesn't cause the black flickering - f

07/22/2020, 11:38 AMThe flickering could be somehow caused by the colour picker perhaps, because that uses a rendertarget
