    (though, the window looks bigger than expected, I'm not sure if I tried the openfl sample and then tried to compile that with hxwidgets. Either way, I just redid everything from scratch and the issue appears with the sample project created by the above command)
  • b
    yeah, it should fit to contents by default, wonder if ive broken something recently... ill check it out

    Hi o/ Any idea where to start for adding context menus? (still with hxwidgets)
  • u
    Ok got something working.. will be tough to add helpers to have a nice reusable solution :x
  • n
    that's pretty cool, what was your approach?
  • s
    Back with some more questions related to text areas, as they appear to be the bane of my existence atm. All of these appear to be related to tab handling. Again this is with the openfl backend so apologies if this is the wrong channel. First off, when the text area contents is set to any text that uses tabs for indentation, when the text area is clicked the program gets an 
    Invalid Object
    error and closes. Second, tab indentation doesn't render at all. I thought this might be fixable by encapsulating all the text inside of 
    <textformat>
    tag but that doesn't seem to have worked. Finally, tabs aren't registered as valid input within the textarea, so tab indentation can't be input by the user. This doesn't work even with the focus navigation disabled. Again apologies if this is the wrong channel, and thank you so far for all the help 😄

    Context menus should be supported, is that using a "Menu" or any you just creating component that look like a menu?
  • b
    Some of these feel like they are going to be openfl related, best idea would be to try and basic openfl application and see if the behavior is the same, ill do it at some point, but wont be for a little bit as i have some stuff to catch up on
  • u
    Yeah that's using a Menu and 
    popupMenu()
    But I didn't find any haxeui API to do it, had to add some things to bind that
  • u
    (context menu event type, some things like that)
  • b
    oh? Maybe i dreamt it, but i thought i had used context menus in haxeui, certainly in composites, but i thought native too
  • b
    .. ... ill check it out
  • u
    Maybe I just didn't find them x)
  • b
    i thought you could just use haxeuis "Menu" class
  • u
    Yeah but how do you use them as context menu?
  • b
    .show i guess?
  • b
    I mean, maybe im wrong and it doesnt work as expected
  • u
    How do you define the menu to show when user triggers the context menu on a component? *
  • b
    so yeah, i must have imagined it, this works on composites:
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
    @:bind(this, MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK)
    private function onRightClick(e:MouseEvent) {
        var menu = ComponentBuilder.fromFile("assets/menu1.xml");
        menu.left = e.screenX;
        menu.top = e.screenY;
        Screen.instance.addComponent(menu);
    }
  • b
    but doesnt seem to do anything on native
  • b
    (html5 - composite)
  • b
    actually though, looking at MenuBuilder in haxeui-hxwidgets it should have worked with .show
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
    @:bind(this, MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK)
    private function onMyButton(e:MouseEvent) {
        trace("right click");
        var menu = ComponentBuilder.fromFile("assets/menu1.xml");
        menu.left = e.screenX;
        menu.top = e.screenY;
        menu.ready(); // <------ this shouldnt be needed!
        menu.show();
    }
  • b
    also this will always call wx popupMenu on the top level frame, which i guess isnt what is always wanted / needed
  • u
    There's a specific event for context menu though, it's not just right click
  • b
    hmmm, right, well, that could always be mapped thats not particularly complex. For me its more that a) you have to call .ready for some reason and b) the parent of the context menu will always be the frame... ... the trigger will be fairly simple to enhance
  • u
    I use ± this:
    Copy code
    box.window.bind(EventType.CONTEXT_MENU, function(e) {
  var menuObject = new hx.widgets.Menu();
  // ... create items, keep references for menuObject.bind(EventType.MENU, ...), etc.
  box.window.popupMenu(menuObject);
});
  • b
    i mean, that'll work ofc, but its not using haxeui anymore
