08/09/2021, 2:01 AMI'm trying to use haxeui-html at the moment, specifically textAreas. Is there a way to allow newlines to be input/output to them? They're not showing for me unless I use the native theme - i

08/09/2021, 9:07 AMso create a

bright-gpu-74537

important-flower-40549
08/09/2021, 9:15 AMdoes the same goes for changing the width and height of the window? - u
user
08/09/2021, 9:15 AMYou can do
for thatScreen.instance.frame.resize(1200, 800); - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/09/2021, 9:16 AMyup, you could do it there if you want, or you could make your root component a fixed size - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/09/2021, 9:16 AMor yeah, directly access the wxFrame if you wanted
