  • b
    or, as you say, use a custom component and its all done for you, but take this approach first so you understand how it fits together... let custom components come later 🙂
  • h
    like this I can even call the method passing as argument the value of a textbox or range
  • h
    fantastic
  • b
    sure, its just haxe code now, ignore the "onclick" in xml
  • b
    its for scripting, which is totally seperate to haxe code... im hoping to put them together at some point, but for now just ignore "on" in xml, its confusing you
  • h
    I can indeed see the use of it now, it's just that coming from xaml and wpf most of the ui behaviour was written inside methods and the button.onclick only linked the xaml component to the c# code
  • h
    so I was quite confused at first
  • b
    yeah, i get it, there is no link, well, there is a link, but its not an obvious one
  • b
    suffice to say, "onclick='myhaxe_method'" aint gonna work without some boilerplate and modules
  • a
    my "non standard" ui experiments 😉 actual pressed key is being shown in top right
  • b
    heh heh, i have NO idea what this is... but good job
  • b
    ... ... music / midi thingy?
  • a
    yeah that's the plan
  • a
    got inspired during the realtime audio talk during haxe in
  • b
    cool stuff, i know next to nothing about audio programming
  • b
    so that is a modified listview?
  • a
    I'd like to know more
  • a
    the list view isn't too custom in the end
  • a
    subclassed Label and ItemRenderer ae doing most of the work
  • b
    clever
  • b
    the keyboard nav looks pretty top notch
  • b
    why subclass the label out of interest?
  • a
    good question, didn't really need to in the end but it's a bit neater, there is a function on it that sets the background colour for the highlight
  • a
    each character you see is an individual label
  • b
    fair enough, so just easier for this specific thing
  • a
    yeah
  • b
    i wonder if a grid and scrollview could have done similar
  • b
    probably, though i guess using an item renderer is cleaner
  • a
    yeah wasn't sure if there was better options, I have definitely not written this in a particularly idiomatic way so far either - just wanted to get somethign quick and dirty so I know it can be done
  • b
    sure, makes sense
