    ok, so thats a bug, and one i thought i got rid of a loooong time ago
  • b
    wrt to the build server... .... .... .... im not sure what to suggest.... haxeui macros dont seem to play well with the build server
  • b
    i could be totally off the mark, but i dont feel like the haxeui macros are "wrong"
  • b
    if they were i would assume things wouldnt work, my guess is that using external files (xml, properties, etc) doesnt play nicely with the language server?
  • b
    do you know off the top of your head where 
    .properties
    files are read in your code?
  • b
    do you know which .properties file?
  • b
    haxeui-heaps.properties
  • b
    oh, right... two secs
  • b
    thats wierd... i cant find it now... its buried somewhere there is some code that goes "backend + .properties" somewhere... bear with me
  • b
  • b
    So 
    BackendMacros.processBackend();
    is called from 
    Toolkit
    (and is an expression macro), so I think the backend 
    .properties
    files would be re-read only if 
    Toolkit
    was re-built. To fix this, the files should instead be read from a build macro.
  • b
    right, that should be easy enough to do i think
  • b
    so is that something that breaks the language server?
  • b
    I don't think so, but you might want to check if you are running in display mode (completion) and do nothing if so.
  • p
    Did the editable textfield get fixed for heaps?
  • b
    not yet, will look at it today though - i thought it wasnt implemented, but it was, just in a different way in heaps - so its a regression of somekind
  • b
    that should be fixed now btw... should be
  • h
    can confirm, neko now runs!

    thanks a lot!

    in openfl + haxeui, how do i have the ui absorb mouse/keyboard/etc events so they don't get to the stage underneath?
  • r
    also the presence of haxeui seems to make editing openfl TextFields impossible..? does it interfere with keyboard events or something?
  • b
    > how do i have the ui absorb mouse/keyboard/etc events so they don't get to the stage underneath event.cancel() should work in the haxeui handler > editing openfl TextFields impossible..? does it interfere with keyboard events or something? shouldnt do, haxeui-openfl just uses openfl textfields itself... got an example?
  • r
    One second, I will try to make a minimal example really quick...

    Here ya go:
    Copy code
    haxe
import haxe.ui.Toolkit;
import haxe.ui.macros.ComponentMacros;
import haxe.ui.core.Screen;
import openfl.display.Sprite;
import openfl.text.TextField;
import openfl.text.TextFieldType;

class Main extends Sprite {
    public function new() {
        super();

        // comment/uncomment these lines to affect the functionality of the textField.
        // Toolkit.init();
        // var main = ComponentMacros.buildComponent("assets/main-view.xml");
        // Screen.instance.addComponent(main);

        var textF = new TextField();
        textF.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
        textF.text = "Edit me!";
        textF.border = true;
        textF.y = 128;

        addChild(textF);
    }
}
  • r
    Copy code
    xml
<vbox style="padding: 5px;">
    <button text="Click Me!" onclick="this.text='Thanks!'" style="font-size: 24px;" />
</vbox>
  • r
    here's the .zip of the entire project if that helps too
  • b
    nice one, ill check it out, i would certainly expect that to work just fine
  • r
    👍 Also, while I'm here, I'm trying to align a hbox on the bottom of the screen, is this the proper way to do it?
    Copy code
    xml
<!-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<vbox width="100%" height="100%">
    <vbox height = "90%">
        <!-- spacer -->
    </vbox>
    <vbox 
        width="100%" height="10%"
        verticalAlign="bottom"
        style="background-color:#CCCCCC" 
    >
        <spacer height="10" />
        
        <hbox width="100%" height="100%">
            <label text="Hi" />
        </hbox>
        
        <spacer height="10" />
    </vbox>
</vbox>
    I know of the 
    verticalAlignment="bottom"
    property, but I couldn't get it to work... Keep in mind that i'm a noob to haxe, openfl, and haxeui, so I might just be missing something simple!

    i cant edit that text input even when there is no haxeui
