Haxe

... ... you can create a haxeui list now that is "virtual=true"

I remember seeing a demo of it some time back

its not an issue... "MyList.virtual = true"

there is an assumption that all item renderers are the same size

you can make them bigger, it just will be wierd

tableview would be nice to fix, a use case would make a lot of sense

hmmm. I don't think I can finish it tonight, html5 compiles and shows empty table with no text; C++ took ages to compile and also shows list with columns but no text and neko version crashes...

<@385014891750096896>  I've made a tableview demo project: https://github.com/AlexHaxe/haxeui-tableview-demo it's a stripped down version of what I use in one of my projects.

I hope it compiles... note it requires a patch to haxeui-openfl to make texts appear (see README.md)

ok, thanks Alex... a big help... ill take a look a little later

no problem... 
I haven't figured out why my actual project doesn't need a patched version, probably due to some styling, themes or custom fonts I use over there

> Basically, if I already have access to the child component array, there’s little point in also having a FlxGroup since that’s a glorified array

I don't agree? Collisions are done, in terms of grouping, on FlxGroups. So the interface, at least, is key here.

Oh, okay. I should read entire threads before responding. You're planning on working out that Array. But then the rest is a bit puzzling. I suppose you'll know when I try to make someone jump on a menu what went wrong.

Anyway, Ian, is there a good way to programmatically generate a list of objects to add to the ui? In mind, particularly, is an item list. Do I just treat it like any other time (building out one programmatically) and just add them?

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<box left="23" top="23" width="804" height="594" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; border-style: solid; border-size: 1px; border-color:#000000;">
</box>
```
Border color not set. Also tried `border-width: 1px;` ... also tried dropping the px from both variations. Going to fake it for now.

what backend? Not sure border is implemented in haxeui-flixel

With me, it's pretty safe to assume haxeui-flixel 😉

I'm also getting a null reference error I can't track down, which is turning out to be "not fun". A minimal case is on my list of things to do.

Happens during text reflow... the second time.

There's no parent caller for me to reference to track it down.

Can get this much for you right now though; print debugging shows `asComponent.left` doesn't exist, apparently.
