07/14/2019, 12:37 AMI have lots to learn about these workflows - a
ambitious-knife-25690
07/14/2019, 12:38 AMnot sure if this is the best method ha, I guess it's like this because Ian has some internal checklist he wants to be checked off before going into master - l
limited-advantage-32748
07/14/2019, 12:42 AMApparently Haxe is ransonware now - l

limited-advantage-32748
07/14/2019, 12:49 AMI'm honestly a little confused as to why the master branches aren't updated as often - l
limited-advantage-32748
07/14/2019, 1:18 AMthis is also a very confusing API. is there no other way to... well make it work other than through an XML file? I want to take advantage of the TabView component, but there doesn't seem to be a way listed to add tabs and then add components to specific pages - l
limited-advantage-32748
07/14/2019, 1:23 AMIf I add a component to it, it makes a new tab with that component and a separate component in the window it's meant to display - b

07/14/2019, 1:40 AMI haven't messed with tabview, but I can say I've made a full app with haxeui and never touched xml. It can be a little confusing at 1st, but I got the hang of it pretty fast. These days, Ian has sold me on hybrid code with xml and I dig it. - b
bright-yak-48460
07/14/2019, 1:43 AMAlso, Ian is really Great about jumping in and helping everyone. He's away for the weekend, though. Maybe I can point you in the right direction late tonight or tomorrow (US EST time). - q

07/14/2019, 2:27 AMIan for best code steward award, can confirm. He's usually on things as soon as he's awake and has some time free to pop his head in. - q

07/14/2019, 1:06 PM@limited-advantage-32748 - still having issues? Using xml is certainly not needed... all that does is write code for you as if you did it with addComponent, etc - l

07/14/2019, 1:07 PMAh I see - l
