05/01/2021, 6:56 PMNo not custom view, but imagine I've got this:Copy code
In haxe I'm building Root.hx with:xml <box> <box id="SpecialBox"> <label id="coolStuff" /> </box> </box>Copy code
To have easy access to SpecialBox. But I want SpecialBox to be of type SpecialBox.hx instead of "Box", is it possible or does that make sense?haxe @:build(haxe.ui.macros.ComponentMacros.build("assets/haxeui/xml/root.xml")) - m

05/01/2021, 6:59 PMActually, now that I thought about it, that almost ends up like a custom view... - b

05/01/2021, 7:00 PMbut SpecialBox is a Box there - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2021, 7:00 PMif you wanted it to be something else you would have to have: - b

05/01/2021, 7:01 PMCopy codexml <box> <special-box id="SpecialBox"> <label id="coolStuff" /> </special-box> </box> - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2021, 7:01 PMand then, ofc, you would need a SpecialBox.hx - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2021, 7:01 PMso yeah, thats a custom component - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2021, 7:01 PMYeah, after writing my message I came to that conclusion hahahaha 😅 - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2021, 7:02 PM🙂 - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2021, 7:09 PMkeep in mind btw, you'll need a module.xml in your class path exposing your custom components if you want to use them in xml - b

05/01/2021, 7:09 PMthis should explain everything (with various different ways): https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-guides/blob/master/custom-components.md - m

05/02/2021, 4:06 AMI'm running into this: - m
most-caravan-45834
05/02/2021, 4:06 AMThe code related to the problem is basically:Copy codehaxe private function onShopItemClicked(item: Data.Items) { switch(item.type) { case WEAPON: itemDescription.removeAllComponents(); weaponDescription.populate(item); itemDescription.addComponent(weaponDescription); default: } } - b

05/02/2021, 7:45 AMOK, can you pull and try again - f
faint-answer-24569
05/02/2021, 9:04 AMMight be a FAQ, but how does one deal with something like this:D:\Libraries\wxWidgets\3.1.5\include\wx/platform.h(159): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/setup.h': No such file or directory - f
faint-answer-24569
05/02/2021, 9:05 AM(Gave up on using precompiled binaries and tried building static from source and using git version of hxWidgets) - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/02/2021, 9:06 AMdid you try these: https://github.com/haxeui/hxWidgets#windows - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/02/2021, 9:07 AMCopy code* Download and install wxWidgets using installer from https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ * Create WXWIN environment var if setup didnt (eg: C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2) * Run vcvarsall.bat from Visual Studio dir (eg: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat") * Build shared and static releases of wxWidgets: * cd %WXWIN%\build\msw\ * nmake.exe -f makefile.vc BUILD=release * nmake.exe -f makefile.vc BUILD=release SHARED=1 - f
faint-answer-24569
05/02/2021, 9:08 AMYeah, what I just did (except third step, not sure if it's necessary if building static) - f

05/02/2021, 9:08 AMsecond nmake* - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/02/2021, 9:09 AMhmmm, yeah, though maybe nmake would generate that setup.h, but if that was the case one nmake should have been enough - f
faint-answer-24569
05/02/2021, 9:09 AMWill try building second nmake - b

05/02/2021, 9:10 AMyeah, cant hurt - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/02/2021, 9:10 AMso, short answer is im not sure... looks like something is off with you wx install... - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/02/2021, 9:11 AM> You need to build wxWidgets itself before building the applications using it. Its build process will create the setup.h file which is currently missing - f

05/02/2021, 9:20 AMSame problem 😐 - b
bright-gpu-74537
