( GL element )

I need a table renderer that will vertically stack, in a data row, an array of strings, and if the array is empty, i need it to display a single string. I ended up making a custom renderer but code feels clunky. An ideas?

sample project

err vbox with labels in it for example

i think your item renderer seems fine - one way the might possibly be an improvement is to have a custom component that displays the array and then use that in an item renderer, but i dont think that will practically make any difference:

xml
<item-renderer>
    <array-display />
</item-renderer>

But its not realistically going to be any different - i agree it does seem strange to NOT have an inbuild component that will dispay an array... wonder if one should be added? Or what it would be called? Or how it would work?

You mean like a canvas? Nope - though you could wrap one with no effort really

The item render I made had to ignore a lot of onDataChanged events. It seems it fires on width/height change?

I guess it is a list view without scroll?

yeah, i guess its a listview... but thats pretty heavy

@User If you want I can zip up one of the examples I got from Ian that could be used to get your webgl samples working in haxeui using a canvas component.

@User This may help.

Between wrestling with a transmission and transfer case to get a vehicle running the past couple days, I have been tinkering with some simple webgl javascript and haxeui. If I could get it working i would share it. Now that i'm done with the vehicle maybe I can think more clearly and get it working.

It loads in js, if I coded js I would be doing software. Was interested if there was one don't worry, other stuff on my mind than exploring code at moment.

"the loading in js" was an example btw, of using an external lib - there are plently js libs out there, even if you dont want to code in js - without using the "external_lib.js" part you still have the canvas wrapped in a haxeui component. Anyways

Hi, how can I detect when the selected item of a dropdown changes? Is there a listener?

haxe
myDropdown.onChange = function(e) {
}

or

haxe
myDropdown.addEventListener(UIEvent.CHANGE, function(e) {
});

What's the proper way to control font size for TextFields in the flixel backend? I haven't tracked down how the style is getting set up initially, but I'm seeing the little

cursor

as a very tiny vertical line and typing doesn't add characters to the text field. Not sure what's the cause yet.

You can see the tiny little cursor line. I also tried typing in this gif and no characters show up.

hmmm, i feel like some one else had this, i cant remember what they were doing wrong

... ... have you called "Toolkit.init"?

Yeah, I think I've done stuff according to the docs: My State

haxe
class EditorState extends FlxState {
    override public function create() {
        super.create();
        bgColor = FlxColor.PURPLE;

        Android.checkPermissions();

        Toolkit.init({container: this});
        var menu = new EditorPage();
        add(menu);
    }

    override public function update(elapsed:Float) {
        super.update(elapsed);
    }
}

My

EditorPage

haxe
@:build(haxe.ui.macros.ComponentMacros.build("assets/xml/editor.xml"))
class EditorPage extends VBox {
    public function new() {
        super();
    }
}

And my

editor.xml

xml
<vbox width="100%" height="100%">
    <textfield id="inputText" width="100%" height="10%" placeholder="Sample Text" />
</vbox>

any chance you could zip the project? Is it shareable?

or, a minimal repro

Yeah, give me one sec and I'll grab you the github link

https://github.com/MondayHopscotch/SaFont I was running it with

lime test windows

and it's using the

editor_simplified.xml

that cuts out all the other stuff I had in there.

there does seem to be an issue with the placeholder though... but thats fixable

i would update lime / openfl / flixel - im on git versions personally... also, are you using git version of haxeui-core and haxeui-flixel?

Is it possible to get the index of the new item?

myDropdown.selectedIndex

myDropdown.selectedItem
