    checkboxes
  • b
    pfft... that'll haunt me now
  • a
    haha, well as you say it might 'just work'
  • b
    it wont... if you check a parent checkbox... it should check all the children... (in a treeview)... currently itemrenderers simply dont interact with one another
  • a
    ah
  • b
    will think about it... not sure if its a deal breaker (from an api perspective) to allow that, i mean, linear datasets will behave exactly the same
  • b
    ie, when you set a value on a data item, all children also then take thier parents value (checked in this case for example)

    so im trying to define a component purely through xml, and im running into issues when i try to load that component in another xml file. i have a file named 
    headerbar.xml
    that contains my app's header. i then have an 
    app.hxml
    that imports it, and looks like this:
    Copy code
    xml
<box width="100%" height="100%">
  <headerbar></headerbar>
  <hbox id="main" style="border: 1px solid #ababab;padding:5px;" width="100%" height="100%">

  </hbox>
</box>
    i also have a 
    module.xml
    that points to the location where both the 
    app.xml
    and 
    headerbar.xml
    live, and that looks like this:
    Copy code
    xml
<module>
  <components>
    <component folder="./res/editor"/>
  </components>
</module>
    but when i try to build the App component 
    app.xml
    in my code like:
    Copy code
    haxe
var app = Toolkit.componentFromString(Res.editor.app.entry.getText());
    i get this error:
    Copy code

    any ideas on what im doing wrong here? im using the Heaps backend if that makes any difference 🙂

    Restart the language server @hundreds-dentist-88554
  • b
    It’s a macro cache issue. I get that every non fresh compile
  • h
    done that a couple of times lol
  • b
    Oh really?
  • b
    Then idk 😰
  • h
    looks like if import each component separately it works tho!
  • h
    Copy code
    xml
<module>
   <components>
    <component file="./res/editor/app.xml"/>
    <component file="./res/editor/headerbar.xml"/>
  </components>
</module>
  • h
    weird!
  • b
    hmmm... that is strange
  • b
    any chance for a minimal example and ill take a look tomorrow?
  • b
    also, what about git verison of haxeui + backend?
  • b
    (late to the party, but been crazy busy)
  • b
    also, the most minimal sample of the vscode lang server issue would be nice too... might finally see if i can sort that...
  • b
    I’m starting a new project so I might be able to get a minimal example
  • b
    I believe it happens with a simple vbox xml though

    Does Haxe UI work well for games?
  • u
    HaxeFlixel is terrible for a HUD (with a windowing system), I'm sorry to say :S
  • a
    @User works better than the builtin Flixel stuff for sure, if you need complex UI definitely give it a try
  • u
    Thanks. Will look into it
  • h
    I copied the menu example from here http://www.haxeui.org/explorer/
  • h
    is it possible to have the menu be a little taller?
  • h
    I tried setting 
    height
    in percentages but that sends it offscreen upwards
