08/30/2020, 6:45 PMIs there a way in css to disable drop-down items being multi-line & either let them clip or "..." truncate? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 7:12 PMyou would prefer to have them clip? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 7:12 PM(there is no ellipses stuff, ie, ...) - b

08/30/2020, 7:12 PMyou could make the dropdown width bigger... dunno if that suits your use case though? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 7:13 PM<dropdown ... dropdownWidth="300" /> - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 7:13 PMimho that would be better that letting them just clip - b

08/30/2020, 7:13 PM¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - b

08/30/2020, 7:18 PMDrop-down is as wide as I can let it be already. All my default items fit fine, but in my app (that u know so we'll) items can be added at runtime. There's an OpenFl glitch that causes render distortion if the dropdown has some items multi-line and some not. So, until I can figure out the OpenFl issue, I need to ensure they're all single-line, regardless of length. - b

08/30/2020, 7:21 PMyou could try: - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 7:21 PMCopy codecss .item-renderer { width: auto; } - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 7:21 PMnot sure if that'll work though... - b

08/30/2020, 8:03 PMIs HaxeUI like Dear ImGui where you can update the stuff for games easy? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/30/2020, 8:16 PMyou should be able to integrate haxeui pretty easily into a game, yeah, but they actual way haxeui and imgui work are totally different (retained vs immediate) - b

08/31/2020, 1:11 AM@User Your "allow listview to grow for dropdown" commit coupled with setting dropdownSize to -1 works great! Thanks a ton! - b

08/31/2020, 8:43 AMAt what point in the component lifecycle do css styles get applied? After constructor calls super I'm guessing, or is it available earlier... like during after createChildren super? - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/31/2020, 9:45 AMi dont think the css gets applied before the component is "ready", which i think, is after the first validation - ill have to check to confirm that - whatcha trying to do? - b

08/31/2020, 10:25 AMJust curious when I can grab BG color t other props. For instance, I mix in OpenFl drawn bits and it would be nice to draw stuff using the style colors, border colors and thickness, etc, but not sure how early I can do that. - b

08/31/2020, 10:43 AMyou could just override applyStyle?
