    never really measured any perf wrt to text rendering
  • b
    whats the use case? I mean, why are you thinking about "performant and rapid text tendering"?
  • b
    Yeah it is pretty niche I guess, but I was thinking of something like a twitch chat client, the chat messages can arrive very fast for large streamers, and with emotes too, sometimes animated.
  • b
    dunno how you would do emotes in hxwidgets
  • b
    Yeah it'd have to be a whole custom text layouter for wxwidgets, but was just wondering about it
  • b
    yeah, or maybe you could use something like sctinilla... but then ofc performance may very well be an issue
  • b
    I made a decently performant one with Win2D and DirectWrite in C#
  • b
    right, fair enough... then maybe it would be better to roll our your own...
  • b
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • b
    hxwidgets does expose graphics dc's to you
  • b
    though, ofc, they arent directly exposed via haxeui... but you could always create a custom component that uses them
  • b
    so if you are going down the hxwidgets route i would create a test app / poc there before, just to make sure it'd work before adding haxeui into the mix
  • b
    Sounds like an alright idea
  • b
    friendly to reminder to update haxeui-core (and any backend) to latest git versions, ive made a number of changes in the last few days that fix things i broke in the few days before that 🙂
  • b
    (hoping to get a release out in a week or two)

    @User not sure if you knew, but since the haxeUI site supports HTTPS now, the API docs aren't loading CSS or images

  • i
    Still works alright, just less pretty lol
  • i
    All of the links still link to the HTTP version of the site though, giving you a warning on browsers which default to HTTPS-only
  • b
    oh... fun
  • b
    looks like im running out of excuses to not regen the docs
  • i
    lol
  • b
    thanks, ill take a look at this when i get a moment
  • i
    unrelated to that, how do you access child components of a container 
    Component
    in haxeui-flixel?
  • i
    I'm trying to get my UI built from XML instead of having to kludge everything in code, but not sure how I go about actually accessing the built components
  • i
    The haxeui "Hello World" example page lists how to build the UI from XML, or from code, but not how to access components built from XML in code (at least when it's not a class extended from a container)
  • b
    if im understanding the question correctly, this might help you out: https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-guides/blob/master/custom-components.md
  • b
    but if you dont want to use a custom component (which i guess should be renamed to "custom view" or something) then you can just access things through "findComponent"
  • b
    the advantage of using a build macro and a custom component (view) is that > any component with an id attribute will now be a correctly typed member variable of the class with that name
  • i
    Ah that helped with the build macro part, I was trying to use that line (
    @:build(haxe.ui.macros.ComponentMacros.build("assets/ui/editor/editorView.xml"))
    ) on my FlxState class, putting the UI part into its own class extending VBox suddenly gives me typed components
  • i
    thank you!
