  • f
    I'm happy to use whatever is appropriate, use case is tabs for different files 🙂
  • f
    #if debug is fixed, cheers.
  • b
    well, they serve different purposes... i think for you, you are using the correct one (ie, TabBar)
  • b
    fyi: this is the basic different between tabbar / tabview: http://haxeui.org/builder/?uvhrib
  • b
    ie, tabbar can be used to kinda "virtual" views (of a sort if that makes sense)... whereas tabview is a tabbar linked to a child instance view... so if you want to reused your drawing surface (tabCol in this example) tabbar is probably the best choice
  • f
    Ah I see. As I render the world behind the UI independent of haxe UI, the tabbar is the right choice for me. Thanks for the explanation 😄
  • b
    cool, yeah, thats what i figured... 👍
  • f
    Aha! It has been so long that I'd forgotten, but I actually use a tabview on the right of my UI 😄
  • b
    makes sense... ie, it think you are using both control correctly, one is a set of "files" in which you are reusing your draw surface and the other is a set of tabs with a "known" ui in them and letting haxeui handle all the "show this for this tab" stuff
  • f
    Yep 👍
  • b
    both are defo useful in their own context, and ive defo used both in the same app also
  • f
    Nice nice. As for my file tabbar, should I just addComponent removeComponent etc for my different files?
  • b
    for now yeah, i think you'll have too... im thinking about adding a datasource to it (as i think it could be a good idea) but i havent even started it yet
  • b
    i think you have to add `Button`s to it... two secs, lemme check
  • f
    No worries, I'll give it a go. I do think you have to add Buttons, I had some errors earlier that indicated as much
  • b
    nope, any component is fine... it will extract the .text and .icon props and create a button based on it
  • b
    lemme double check that then, just in case
  • f
    Ah cool. I was trying to embed a listview so it's unsurprising it failed 😆
  • b
    listview in a tabbar? 😮
  • b
    ah, i see, you pobably wanted tabview there
  • f
    Wellll I figured I might be able to use the inside datasource lol
  • b
    right
  • f
    Make the listview create buttons that the tabbar would use. I don't know enough internals to know why it doesn't work, but it did feel a bit hacky 😛
  • b
    actually, it does need to be a button i think
  • f
    From memory a cast to a button was failing
  • b
    yup, exactly
  • b
    i needed to get the icon from the button
  • b
    thinking about it, all that seems kinda dumb... im creating a new button from a button? Dont really need to do that, and if i do (though i cant see why) i could just .clone() it...
  • b
    ill have a look
  • f
    Cool cool 🙂 Afk again for a bit, cheers for your help!
