    But for that and input text, flixel can draw the field every frame to get what’s happening in OpenFL
  • b
    what does flixel ui use under the hood to handle its text input? I wrote a text input system for kha and its no simple feat
  • b
    does flixel ui use its own impl?
  • d
    Yes, looks like they check if the box has focus. If it does and there's a keyboard event, then they write the value into the text. Their implementation extends 
    FlxText
    https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel-ui/blob/dev/flixel/addons/ui/FlxInputText.hx
  • d
    looks like key functions are 
    onKeyDown
    and 
    calcFrame
  • b
    I wrote something but it was never merged, where an input FlxText just bitmap draws the source OpenFL TextField when necessary/each frame
  • b
    Otherwise you’re writing your own and it won’t be as good as OpenFL
  • b
    did it work well? Do you still have it?
  • b
    I’ll have to see, it would be a closed PR or open maybe in flixel itself

    @User is it possible to color/style different parts of a 
    Label
    componenet? E.g. make some of the text green and some of the text black?

    started getting this weird new bug that makes the menu's dropdown render over the menu, happens only the first time I open the menu though, all subsequent interaction with the menu are fine. let me know if you can reproduce the issue by trying at https://gioele-bencivenga.github.io/TilemapGen/

    @User HaxeUI is a masterpiece. Currently one of the biggest draws to Haxe for me in a world of poor UI options that aren't Electron. Good work! 👍

    ^

    Totally feel this way too, only other acceptable option is microsoft's but I prefer the Haxe environment, I hope this project continues to thrive
  • b
    There we go. Easier than I thought, I can directly set the OpenFL TextField that HaxeUI uses
  • b
    And then make sure the display list parent chain is maintained
  • b
    Gif doesn't do it justice
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
var tf = diaLabel.getTextDisplay().textField;
fancyText.x = tf.x; fancyText.y = tf.y;
tf.parent.addChild(fancyText);
tf.parent.removeChild(tf);
diaLabel.getTextDisplay().textField = fancyText;

    > it possible to color/style different parts of a Label componenet? E.g. make some of the text green and some of the text black? Unfortunately no, this isnt possible, there is an htmlText property, but i think its only supported / implemented in openfl > started getting this weird new bug that makes the menu's dropdown render over the menu Will check out your repo later > Good work! Thanks! > There we go Oh, thats cool... Howcome not:
    Copy code
    haxe
class FancyLabel {
    public override function createTextDisplay() {
        ....
    }
}
    Then you can use it from xml, etc
  • b
    I’ve never used a custom component, otherwise yeah
  • a
    Which type system does Haxe use?
  • a
    Hindley Milner like?
  • b
    im not sure i follow, what do you mean what type system?
  • a
    trying to get a binding to pull data from a getter (as seen here https://haxe.org/manual/class-field-property-common-combinations.html )
  • a
    Copy code
    haxe
@:bind(lblName)
public var Name(get, null):String;

function get_Name():String {
    return "Test";
}
  • a
    it no likey
  • a
    this works, as expected
    Copy code
    haxe
@:bind(lblName)
public var Name:String;

public function new() {
    super();
    Name = "Test";
}
  • b
    whats the failure? Something like "getter already exists"?
  • b
    my guess off the top of my head is haxeui is always looking to add a getter
