is your menubar wide enough? Needs to have a .percentWidth or .width... if you are using .percentWidth make sure its parents have an explicit width also (either % or px)

Didn't specify width for anything

Doesn't it default to 100% or something?

nope, defaulting widths its too presumptuous - it causes issues - things are, by default, autosized

although, i guess its worth checking out why a menubar isnt autosized - ill have to run your code - for now, to see if its working, give the menubar a .width and see if that sorts it

(so hard to parse non-xml ui's :p )

menu bar autosizing seems fine

(would be useful if you could create a minimal, reproducible example)

for now i have a handy function to apply a style to lots of objects at once:

haxe
public static function applyComponentsStyle(style:Style, ...components:Component) {
    for (c in components) {
        c.style = style;
    }
    return components;      
}

also what about this?

its pretty reproduceable, id say my example is actually smaller then what uve shown in the gif - it haxe 1 menu and 1 sebmenu

its just that theyre in code

also no custom icons or anything, just text

btw how do u set the font of a component to a font from the app's directory?

it can be used like this:

haxe
{width: 200, height: 60, wordWrap: true}.applyComponentStyle(component1, menu. menubar, vbox, vbox1, component2);

i need to try XML probably

but does it have autocomplete?

> its pretty reproduceable, id say my example is actually smaller then what uve shown in the gif that my point though, it isnt - that gif shows it autosizing fine - so something else is happening - which is why a minimal reproducible example is important / useful. It means i dont have to try and guess what you are doing differently (plus backends, any setup etc) > its just that theyre in code shouldnt matter - the xml just writes code for you > btw how do u set the font of a component to a font from the app's directory css: font-name / font-face property should work (fonts are a bit of a pain - which backend?) > for now i have a handy function to apply a style to lots of objects at once i would have used css, but each to their own 🙂 > but does it have autocomplete it doesnt - it should be possible to generated an XSD on the fly, but i dont even know if vscode supports it (its low on the list anyway)

about the font - i work with openfl

also is there a way to set the default font that haxeui uses?

got it working with my custom function 😊

also the font thing was super easy

just:

fontName: "Assets/fonts/english-hebrew/Rubik.ttf"

also how do you set the background color & text color of a component? doing

backgroundColor: 0x848484, color: 0xCCFFFFFF

didnt work

btw, you should use "customStyle" not "style", in reality these property names are wrong, "style" should be "computedStyle" and "customStyle" should be "style" (this will be changing fairly soon)

well that works doe

should work, doesnt "styleString" work? Again, reproducible examples are useful here - these are things that almost certainly work, so either its a bug or incorrect usage

i use style all along

i just changed it to customStyle

checkig it rn
