# haxe-ui
  • s
    and then switching tab view unselectes everything on openfl 😭
  • s
    i really wish there was a native way to make pretty apps on windows with haxeui
  • s
    how much effort does it take you to develop a backend? it sounds like a lot of effort
  • s
    altho native backends are probably somewhat easier to write because the OS handles a lot of it
  • b
    actually its the other way round, composite backends are generally easier to write... once you expose some basic stuff (drawing / events) then haxeui-core takes care of the rest
  • b
    native controls have to be mapped etc
  • b
    also, what native toolkit would you use to make "pretty apps on windows"?
  • s
    WinUI 3 thru C#? with the xaml
  • s
    that stuff looks pretty, i've used it before
  • s
    i just really dislike Win32
  • b
    yeah, winui does look interesting, i was thinking about having a play with it with hxcpp, but maybe c# would be simpler
  • b
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • b
    im just never convinced about the future of the hxcs target
  • s
    🤷 idrc as long as it's winui and not win32
  • b
    i still feel like the best solution is qt or something
  • b
    even getting a winui3 test app going is a bit of a joke
  • b
    my haxeui-qt experimental test app still seems to compile... which is interesting... dont remember what the result is though
  • b
    oh yeah, and there is gtk4.0 also.. kinda forgot about that too
  • b
    qt test seems fine.. couldnt get the haxeui-qt to run... something strange going on there
  • b
    sexxxxy
  • s
    wait qt works on windows
  • s
    idc just make it not ugly
  • b
    ... ... showing your age with entitled statements like that imo...
  • s
    😭
  • b
    im very busy and the least of my concerns in writing a new backend so you can get your fnf mod manager to look 133t
  • s
    yh makes sense
  • b
    if i was considering helping, im not anymore 😉
  • s
    it's not make or break it just is "app look ugly or app not run good on my machine"
  • s
    if I were to make a WinUI app tho would I have to gen xaml? i've gen'd java before and xaml is just a flavor of xml
  • b
    if you were writing a winui backend, my approach would be to ignore xaml and go direct to to creating "haxeui xml" in winui
