12/03/2021, 2:45 PMalternatively you can useDragManager.instance.registerDraggable(myComponent, options) - b

12/03/2021, 2:45 PMIs it then also only "draggable" in the layout itself? And can it also be dragged out? So that it is clipped afterwards? - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:45 PMi think this is a fairly initial impl, so there maybe be holes in the api - id completely forgotten it in fact 🙂 - b

bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:47 PMis that an option you think you'll need / is useful? I guess one way would be to remove the component from the layout and put it onto the screen - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:47 PMthen drag as normal, when its dropped put it in which ever layout is closest - b

12/03/2021, 2:48 PMI would like to develop a program where the person can move the image on a surface by himself. A bit like in OBS. - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:48 PMmaybe the best bet would be to take the sub system for a spin, get a feel for it and then let me know what you feel is missing - we can always come up with better api based on use. The only place (iirc) this is used inside core is the dragging of the dialogs - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:49 PMim pretty sure all it will enable you to do is move a component around inside its current container... not move things between containers - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:49 PM(top level screen also being a container - kinda) - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 2:49 PMYes indeed - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 2:50 PMNot drag and drop between containers but only in the same container. - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:52 PMok, so i think it should already do that... right? - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 2:52 PMi will try it out. - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:53 PMnice one... let me know of there are bits missing (you think) and im sure we can add them, this d&d stuff is in its infancy - b

bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:55 PMthis seems to work - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 2:57 PMI would like to prevent something like that. I still have to play around with that - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:57 PMhmmmm, yeah, bug or feature? 😄 - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 2:58 PMyou can set "clip = true" for the style: http://haxeui.org/builder/?flshvr - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 2:59 PMWith an absolute layout, this is really a judged question. Actually you rather need a callback for onDrag = function(x, y) prevent? etc. - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 3:00 PMhmmm, yeah, that could be a neat idea... - b

12/03/2021, 3:04 PMthis is a js library that I had used many times. But since I wanted to use haxeui sometime I thought yes today is the day of days xD - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 3:08 PMyeah, playing with d&d in haxeui now, i think there are a few tiny things we can do to make it more useful - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 3:09 PMmega! Well then I'll start writing my application in haxeui. - b
billions-carpenter-3485
12/03/2021, 3:16 PMthe only thing missing is the "canvas component" and a backend based on software rendering like skia but hey those are the wishes that mean a bit more work. Can I get that for christmas? ~irony - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 3:17 PMheh heh, canvas component would be super useful, for sure - b
bright-gpu-74537
12/03/2021, 3:17 PMive even thought of a way of being able to make it useful from xml, previously the idea would have been that you had to draw to it using code alone
