i mean, the alignment thing could be some weird wx / os issue... but the hbox not working doesnt make any sense at all

user

Doesn't work as root element

(do you see my screenshots?)

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:18 AM

ok, thats because your MainView is probably extended from VBox

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:18 AM

i did have a warning about that, but i commented it out because it was giving false positives

user

07/26/2021, 7:19 AM

Maybe, I didn't check the code at all it's all default from generator (without the button refs)

user

I'll check if wxwidgets did some changes that could break text align somehow

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:22 AM

so yeah, the hbox not working is for sure about the

MainView extends VBox

and then you are using an hbox as the root

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:22 AM

changing it to

MainView extends HBox

would fix that, or just make sure you xml root matches your class extension...

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:23 AM

but since its a test app, i guess you dont really care much about that - the text align is a strange one though

user

07/26/2021, 7:24 AM

Adding a root box works so this part is ok, yeah

user

07/26/2021, 7:25 AM

textAlign being supposed to work is good news enough for me, I'll try to find what's going on here

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:25 AM

yeah, thats fine... its not an issue, its just that your class and xml dont match, so it makes total sense... as i mentioned, previously you would have gotten a warning about it, but it was causing warnings to be issued when they shouldnt have been - so i removed it till i can come up with a better system to detect mismatches

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:26 AM

OK, cool - personally i would have preferred it to be haxeui, its an easier fix that way

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:42 AM

oh, so btw, there is a "Toggle" class in haxeui - its just a button that sets its ".toggle" to true... my guess is that its there because in wx toggle buttons are a totally different class

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:43 AM

that said however, recently (well, like years) haxeui-hxwidgets can create any native component via "creators" and not just the native.xml

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 7:43 AM

so im going to fix it there too so "" should also work

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:14 AM

ok, toggle buttons fixed now:

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:15 AM

<button toggle="true" selected="true" />

should work now (rather than having to use

<toggle />

or worse,

<switch />

which only happens to be a toggle button in haxeui-hxwdigets)

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:16 AM

("toggle" is still there btw as actually, i think its nicer semantically, now i know about it, i might start using it more 😄 )

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:53 AM

heh heh, so yeah, i screwed up the code generation for script handlers (thats why the whole ui dissapeared), generated code:

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:53 AM

Copy code

haxe
            c3.registerEvent("click", function(event:haxe.ui.events.UIEvent) {
                var __this__ = c3;
                var container = c0;
                __this__.parentComponent.removeComponent(_gthis, null, null);
            }, null);

whoops

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:54 AM

_gthis is haxe's "global this" (ie, the current class MainView)

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 9:34 AM

(fixed)

Hello. I'm trying to use haxeui-hxwidgets, however it errors while compiling

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:35 PM

can you translate the error?

user

07/26/2021, 8:39 PM

Oh yeah, It's file or directory not found

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:40 PM

looks like there is a space or something in the path maybe? Maybe you need to update hxcpp / haxe ?

bright-gpu-74537

07/26/2021, 8:41 PM

also, it might make sense for you to try git version of haxeui-core, haxeui-hxwidgets and hxWidgets
