Haxe

so just use fixed width buttons, its not the end of the world if the app is simple

the haxe-ui file dialogs looks pretty outdated

(and doesn't even work on native, apparently)

is there a way to accessfiles without having a stupid text field

i presume you mean this: https://github.com/ianharrigan/haxeui-file-dialogs

in an hbox how do I make something stick to the right edge of the box

i tried `horizontalAlign="right"` and `marginRight="10"` but it do nothing

so hboxs dont support horizonalAlign (like vboxes dont support verticalAlign)

your option is to use `Box` (but then items are no longer place horizontally) or use a "spacer"

```xml
<hbox width="100%">
    <spacer width="100%" />
    <button text="Button" />
</hbox>
```

(note: spacer is just a `Spacer extends Component` - nothing special but semantically its nicer)

i just noticied hxWidgets has a file dialog 😶

```hx
package components;

import haxe.ui.containers.HBox;
import haxe.ui.events.MouseEvent;
@:build(haxe.ui.ComponentBuilder.build("assets/text-dialog.xml"))
class DialogTextField extends HBox {
    public function new() {
        super();
    }
    @:bind(openFileDialog, MouseEvent.CLICK)
    public function openDialog(_:MouseEvent) {
        // Now only works on cpp!
        var dialog = new hx.widgets.FileDialog(haxe.ui.ToolkitAssets.instance.options.frame, "Pick a directory", this.monkePath.text);
        
    }
 }
``` I tried writing this but uh it doesn't show anything when the button clicked

FYI, at some point in the future, i want to add this type of stuff into haxeui core in a cross framework way, so eventually i want to be able to do:

`Dialogs.selectFile(...)` / `Dialogs.selectFolder(...)` and that work on all (or at least most) backends
