# haxe-ui

    sure, your call, ofc... i would argue that haxeui-html5 makes writing web apps 100 times more productive - but ofc, im biased 😉
  • f
    Good idea but that would absolutely be too low level for this project
  • f
    Thought it might be 🙂 Good luck. Sounds like embedding d3 (extents perhaps?) in a html5 ui might be a pathway.
  • f
    It may well be but I never used it so I have no idea there 🙂 maybe I should try it.

    Sushi was just delivered so there is something else I have to do now 🙂 thanks for your input!
  • b
    no worries... enjoy 🙂

    I always wonder about this whenever I think about making some app. Last time I ultimately went with MVCoconut and Bulma CSS, mainly because I had experience with that. Which parts would haxe-ui make easier? Coconut gives me bindings, css gives me good enough default look and there's not much else.
  • b
    Then again, if I were to make something more evolved, like a bigger game editor, maybe haxe-ui would bring a lot of value, I'm just not entirely sure what it would be. 😄
  • f
    I sure would also be interested in the answer to that 🙂
  • b
    i guess my first response would be the component set... ie, tables, prop grids, lisviews and custom itemrenderers
  • b
    but certainly one thing haxeui doesnt have is the reactive nature of coconut... although you can use coconut.haxeui apparently (though i dont have any exp.)
  • b
    I think I would want to go that way.
  • b
    yeah, ive never used it to be honest, so cant really tell you what state its in... my understanding is it works, but how well, i couldnt tell you
  • b
    i guess ultimately its up to the user (dev in this case) about what they prefer to use... take them for a spin and see what "fits"
  • b
    Yeah, seems like it. Which might be why I never tried it.
  • b
    As I don't like UI stuff, I don't have any idea about how to approach it, so I just do what's handy, and that's always based on what I did last. 😄
  • b
    sounds fair 🙂
  • b
    an itemrenderer is a thing that allows u to customize listview items appearance?

    I need some help with messageBox - I've tried Toolkit.messageBox and Screen.instance.messageBox and neither displays the box - I get the modal background color but no box.
  • b
    @User : yeah @User - any example, which backend?
  • m
    @User I have a theme - I was just thinking do I need to define anything special in the CSS?
  • b
    you shouldnt need to, i mean, you may want to, but if you dont, you should just get the default styled one... unless, does your theme extend another? Or is a theme from scratch?
  • b
    ie, is it 
    <myTheme parent="default" >
  • m
    That made a difference! So now I need to theme the dialog box as it is using my base button image and I would like to use something else
  • b
    yeah, so if you didnt want to extend the default them (which is totally valid) then you have to style the dialog box yourself
  • b
  • m
    Thanks!
  • m
    helps if you type the prefix right in the resource string in module.xml

    Anyone know what the canonical way to add a sprite to a HaxeUI container? Say you have a HBox and you want to add a sprite to it that's a child (I'm creating a legend). How would you do it? I'm having some difficulty having the sprite adhere to the HBox's positioning
  • b
    Feel like that deserves a custom component. Anything outside the haxeui ecosystem won't adhere to positioning/sizing
