08/12/2019, 9:59 AMim not really sure of the state at this stage, i feel like the author might have stopped haxe / haxeui dev (not 100% sure) so i sure ill need to pick that up at some point - h

08/12/2019, 10:02 AMOh gotcha, that's okay! Well then, no worries haha. I'm just looking to get HaxeUI + MVCoconut working together with some sort of native back-end instead of it being browser based. I couldn't use NME or Openfl because their build-tools don't communicate properly and I don't even know about kha, but I imagine it's gotta be nearly exactly the same issue. My last shot was Heaps, and that's where I am haha - b

08/12/2019, 10:08 AMcan you expand on why you couldnt use openfl, nme, etc? - h
handsome-television-62908
08/12/2019, 10:10 AMPoorly worded on my part, but it's not because of HaxeUI as much as it is MVCoconut's fault - h
handsome-television-62908
08/12/2019, 10:10 AMdue to its dependencies that is - h

08/12/2019, 10:11 AMEssentially, I am unable to use NME/Openfl because the whole
orhaxelib run nme test ....
will not actually respect lix's libraries (to my experience)haxelib run lime test .... - b

08/12/2019, 10:15 AMah, right, i see - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:15 AMso basically, you cant use lix with openfl / nme? - h

08/12/2019, 10:23 AMI have a feeling I'm supposed to be "able" to use it, but I certainly haven't managed a setup with it - not even a basic one. I left a message in their Gitter to see if they can help, since I'm confident it's a lix/MVCoconut thing - l

08/12/2019, 10:39 AM@bright-gpu-74537 Haxe 3 compilation works with latest git versions... - l

08/12/2019, 10:39 AMI still have to figure out how to set item renderers and datasource from code for new TableView component. It works when putting everything in XML, but my attempts at setting dynamic columns and data have failed - I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong... - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:40 AMright... is that another issue? Or if the code is small, paste here... maybe i can take a look at it later tonight... - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:40 AMIf it works from xml, then it certainly will work from code... maybe there is some order of things that are needed, but generally that isnt the case with haxeui - l

08/12/2019, 10:42 AMI haven't updated my demo (https://github.com/AlexHaxe/haxeui-tableview-demo) with my latest attempts, but that's basically how I'm trying to use HaxeUI. - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:49 AMok, so going through it now... first things first: - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:49 AMvar label:Label = new Label(); - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:49 AMthat should be "Column" - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 10:54 AMthe rest looks like it should work to be honest... ill have a play and see whats wrong, but doesnt look like the code is doing anything that jumps out as wrong - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:11 AMweird, i transplanted most of your code and it seemed fine... there are some differences, but mainly because i just didnt bring over all of it... nothing major... - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:11 AMill let you know when i find something - l
loud-salesclerk-7438
08/12/2019, 11:31 AMmaybe I need to revert local changes and restart with my sample code... I'm using Columns in my local version, and when I run it I can see rows (they react/change color on hover), but they are empty. So I guess I messed up my item renderer somehow. - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:36 AMi think ive found part of the issue - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:36 AMseems the header needs to be added after you add the columns to it... - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:36 AMwhich i dont like - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:36 AMi mean, its "fine" but i dont like enforcing an order - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:37 AMso looking at that now - b
bright-gpu-74537
08/12/2019, 11:37 AM(probably wont get anything sorted till later this eve though, but i think there will need to be haxeui changes to make sure order of adding isnt a thing) - l
loud-salesclerk-7438
08/12/2019, 11:41 AMyeah, I sort of had different results when changing the order of things... e.g. filling a ArrayDataSource object and then assigning it to
property would not work, but assigning an empty data source and then adding items somehow worked?! (I haven't really played with my code in the last few days, but that's what I remember seeing).dataSource - b

08/12/2019, 11:45 AMright, ideally order shouldnt make a difference... i dont like that you have to remember to do things in a certain order... other components in haxeui dont work that way... so tableview should be the same...
