07/10/2019, 7:50 AMmight make sense to post about it in the openfl forums... i mean, about wxwidgets + openfl / lime specifically - im not 100% sure how it would work... wxwidgets needs to create a frame and start an event loop, and, presumably after that, lime would need to be supplied that window rather than create its own (which i think it does via SDL) - then somehow create a glContext after that... so quite alot of question marks... i think @bright-yak-48460 has done something along these lines (although different) so may well have more insight - b

07/10/2019, 6:56 PMSDL has a createWindowFrom method for creating your own window, context, etc and passing the window handle to this method. Openfl/Lime do not expose this method, however. Exposing this method and making it all actually work in openfl is pretty dang involved. However, we're working on a fork of lime and openfl to do exactly that. As we progress, we're making PRs to official lime and openfl. With any luck, this will become officially supported. - a

07/10/2019, 6:59 PMso, is there any way to have a native menu with openfl on desktop targets? - b

07/10/2019, 7:04 PMI believe so. The whole idea behind our fork is to be able to support things like C# app with a separate openfl window. So, if I'm following the requirements, it should be possible. - b

07/10/2019, 7:07 PMOur fork has a couple weeks to go before it's of too much use to anyone besides ourselves. Once it's closer, maybe @bright-gpu-74537 and I can experiment. - a

07/10/2019, 7:08 PMI understand that now it is not possible, correct? - b
bright-yak-48460
07/10/2019, 7:10 PMI don't believe it is at this moment. In a week or so, we'd be able to find out. - a

07/13/2019, 11:20 PMSo I've never been able to get Haxeui to work for me, as this has always been the results I get when I make something as innocuous as a button - l

limited-advantage-32748
07/13/2019, 11:23 PMNot the problem. - l
limited-advantage-32748
07/13/2019, 11:23 PMNotice that I explicitly set the text of the buttons, yet I get a textless button - b
bitter-family-72722
07/13/2019, 11:23 PMI doubt "name" is the text, that sounds like some kind of ID - l
limited-advantage-32748
07/13/2019, 11:23 PMtypo, same results when fixed - l
limited-advantage-32748
07/13/2019, 11:24 PMas you'll notice there's a loop of ten buttons that both set name and text - a
