bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:24 PMright, so it wont scroll - p

02/19/2021, 10:24 PMim really new to haxeui so i dont know very much about it - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:24 PMthats fine, im just wondering - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:25 PMif you wrap it in a scrollview it will scroll, but maybe not as nicely as the OS (natively) wants it to be - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:25 PMso stick with a vbox for now - p
powerful-gpu-52135
02/19/2021, 10:26 PMthere wont be many files in the tree anyway so i dont think it not being able to scroll will be a huge issue for now - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:26 PMfair enough - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:27 PMtreeview would be nice though, eh? :/ - p
powerful-gpu-52135
02/19/2021, 10:27 PMye would be very useful - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:27 PM(i have so many versions of a composite treeview at this stage ive lost count, and havent even looked at native versions) - p
powerful-gpu-52135
02/19/2021, 10:28 PMoh well haha - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:29 PMit'll get done eventually, the problem is the "cross over"... its what stops me putting it into core - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:30 PMie, if i cant describe a ui natively with "behaviours" then it doesnt go into core - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:30 PMa composite treeview is easy - p
powerful-gpu-52135
02/19/2021, 10:30 PMdo operating systems have native support for tree views? - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:30 PMcertainly - b

02/19/2021, 10:32 PMfirst step is adding that to hxWidgets, then a basic (non core) version in haxeui - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:33 PMproblem, in reality, is that haxeui is more "advanced" than native toolkits - in the sense that a composite version would use item renderers for each item - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:33 PM(that aint gonna happen in wx) - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:34 PMactually, thats not true, that could happen in wx, but its just... well, different - p
powerful-gpu-52135
02/19/2021, 10:37 PMhm i see - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:38 PMbest, i think, you can hope for is an approximation between a composite and a native treeview - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:39 PM... ... ... thats how i would try and write it anyway - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:41 PM(fyi, i need a native treeview sooooo bad 😄 ) - p
powerful-gpu-52135
02/19/2021, 10:41 PMbtw im having this weird issue where vscode no longer shows auto completion hints when importing certain haxeui classes. do you know why this is happening? - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:42 PMi dont use vscode, but my understanding is it doesnt work too well with macros - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/19/2021, 10:42 PMor certain types of macros
