Haxe

wait, my haxelib failed to update correctly, hang on

nice... thanks to <@!377983382854041600> for investigating it and PR'ing it 🙂

How do I add items to a table view through code? I'm not seeing anything in the documentation that hints at what I'm supposed to do

Plenty of XML documentation, but I need to build my UI dynamically, so I have to use code

XML just "writes" code for you, it really doesnt do anything special, for datasources:

```haxe
var ds = new ArrayDataSource<Dynamic>()
ds.add({ myitem: "bob" });
mytable.dataSource = ds;
```

(this assumes you have a "myitem" column)

I'm trying to construct... a table, and I get nothing

I want to build a table like this, with the components

your making it so much harder for yourself by _not_ using xml, but at the end of the day, the xml just turns into code, so there is _no_ reason why you cant build it all up via code

Because I need this table to change frequently

just add / remove items from the data source, the UI will update accordingly

Okay, so how do I build that data source, because I tried from your example and got nothing

```haxe
scarfTable.height = 200;
scarfTable.addColumn("Color");
scarfTable.addColumn("Add/Remove");

var colors:Array<Int> = activeRider.colorList;

var data:DataSource<Dynamic> = new DataSource();

for (item in colors)
{
    var colorField:TextField = new TextField();
    var addRemove:Button = new Button();
    data.add({"Color" : colorField, "Add/Remove" : addRemove});
}```

im not really understanding what you expect that to do 🙂

tableview (and listview for that matter) work off of "item renderers"

that is, you give it data, and it renderers it

putting a textfield into the data isnt going to magically add a textfield into the table

Well, I'm not an expert in how this works

sure, im not saying you are / should be... just never seen a construct like that in any UI framework is all

So how would I make textfields appear in the left column, and buttons on the right
