# haxe-ui
  • a
    Was browsing through the components
  • a
    It seems like bad ux to have text unselectable? is that by choice
  • a
    the labels page, you can't select any of the text. Or any page really 🤔
  • a
    maybe a technical decision/trade off
  • b
    naw, no technical reason, just had it off for button labels and didnt expose a property, its on a list somewhere to allow for backends that allow it with a 
    .selectable
    property

    2 questions - 1) i want to use haxeUI for a part of my application (not the entire app). can i do that? 2)im using haxeui-flixel but want the design of haxeui-openFL. can i do that?
  • b
    also how do i do both (for 1) integrate haxeui to an already existing project and for 2) how to switch the design)
  • b
    what do you mean the design of haxeui-openfl?
  • b
    ah - if you are referring to the haxeui-flixel theme then thats not the default anymore... the default theme for haxeui-flixel is similar to to all other backends
  • b
    and yeah, you should be able to just use haxeui in your existing application
  • b
    there are others on here who have done / are doing it
  • b
    but at a basic level:
  • b
    call 
    Toolkit.init()
    somewhere (Main.hx feels like a good place) add components as you would any other sprite:
    Copy code
    haxe
var button = new Button();
button.text = "Bob";
add(button);
  • b
    great! thanks 🙂
  • b
    also ive heard RTL text is implemented quite well on haxeUI textfields, but do they behave like regular openfl\flixel objects (i can place them anywhere easily, copy their pixel data...)
  • b
    there is nothing specific to haxeui wrt to RTL... in haxeui-flixel textfields are openfl textfields
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
var t = new TextField();
t.getTextInput(); // <---- this will be an openfl textfield
  • b
    will it only get input in english?
  • b
    i think it would work for whatever works in openfl
  • b
    does hebrew work in openfl?
  • b
    well openFL
  • b
    's multilanguage support is borked
  • b
    especially RTL languages
  • b
    so then yeah, haxeui-openfl and haxeui-flixels textinputs will be too 😦
  • b
    kinda but not really - letters work but spacebar and selection dont work
  • b
    and iirc the letters are inserted the wrong way
  • b
    right, yeah, im afraid haxeui will be limited by the host framework, or well, it will at least inherit its limitations
  • b
    at least i have more insentive now to continue adding RTL input support
  • b
    i have a version that kinda works for flixel now (on JS it works completly without multiline, on non-JS multiline works but hte caret is stuck on the first line and theres still RTL logic missing)
  • b
    yeah, i guess that would be good for openfl at large, my guess is that support is bad because there isnt that much demand, but having an RTL speaker / writer could help alot
