Using Waxe

[Sami Habib]

I want to use the Waxe library, the most up to date version found on misterpah's GitHub, but it isn't working properly. I try adding something, for example let's say I want to add a button:

var frame:Frame = ApplicationMain.frame;
var panel:Panel = Panel.create(frame);
var btn:Button = Button.create(panel, null, "Click me!");

Unfortunately no button appears. If I simply add to to "frame" instead of "panel", no difference.

What does work, is editing the menu bar. For instance this:

var menu:Menu = new Menu();
menu.append(1, "foo");

var menuBar:MenuBar = new MenuBar();
menuBar.append(menu, "File");
frame.menuBar = menuBar;

Works like a charm. I haven't tried events yet but I expect that they should work.

As you can imagine though, I'll need other things such as buttons, combo boxes, and so forth to make a proper UI for an application. Is Waxe working successfully for anybody else? Am I doing something wrong? Is it just outdated?

You should try waxe from googlecode

Aha, is Hugh actually working on this? Great!
And the latest commits are tagged "Get Building with haxe3/wxWidgets 3" :-)

Oh that's awesome, I'll have to check that out then. Unfortunately there's no haxelib.json, should I make my own or is there a method to install it without one?

Hi,

I am slowly getting back into this project, but I've been distracted for a while.  I hope to come back to it very soon.

Any chance for a better NME/OpenFL integration (like waxe not 'eating' mouse/keyboard events) ?
