integrating litehtml with a UI framework about litehtml HOT 1 CLOSED

I have some ideas how to make UI using litehtml:

• one dialog - one html file
• use <input> tag or any custom tag for dialog elements
• overwrite document_container::create_element to create your own implementation of dialog elements for <input> or custom tags. Make the array of the created elements on your side.

Now how to get the positions from litehtml. The positions become valid after you call document::render, so just loop via your elements created via document_container::create_element, call element::get_placement to get the element position and place them.

The implementation of the custom elements created via document_container::create_element depends of JUCE framework (I'm not familiar with it). Generally you have to implement element::render fill the element::m_pos data member with the valid position and size (relative to x and y parameters). Look the el_image::render as example. If you can make the actual JUCE dialog elements transparent - this can be useful because litehtml can draw elements (via your implementation). Also you can overwrite element::parse_styles and initialize JUCE dialog elements with proper styles.

Let me know if something unclear.
