Dynamically adding elements to Checkboxes about ftxui HOT 5 CLOSED

Is it possible to dynamically add elements/children to checkmarks like this?

Yes it is possible.

I will take a look later today.
Maybe you can upload a video or a terminal record reproducing what you are seeing? In particular the crash?

from ftxui.

Absolutely. It is random generally, but I happened to capture it in the first try. Usually it happens immediately, but in this case, it took some tries.

You can find the source code here: source If you want to look further in depth of my implementation, beyond the code I posted here.

Hello,

After some time, I've managed to have clients display dynamically as text, seen below:

But I cannot get them to show up as actual checkboxes, only text, when trying with the following code, the list shows just empty.

   // -- client list
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    std::array<bool, 10> states;
    auto lister = Renderer([&] {
        auto checkboxes = Container::Vertical({});
        Elements children = {};

        for (size_t i = std::max(0, (int) clientVec.vec.size() - 9); i < clientVec.vec.size(); ++i) {
            std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(clientVec.vecMutex);
            children.push_back(text(clientVec.vec[i]));
            checkboxes->Add(Checkbox(clientVec.vec[i], &states[i]));
        };
        return vbox(checkboxes) | size(HEIGHT, EQUAL, 3);
    });

    lister = Wrap("Clients", lister);

I'm unsure why this doesn't work...though my guess is that the checkboxes need to be updated/passed to the renderer in a different way.

Do you have any code examples/suggestions?

I have also since updated the source code to use cmake for compiling, should you want to look at the project again.

I have successfully added achieved the checkboxes to update dynamically, with the following code:

    std::array<bool, 10> states;

    auto lister = Renderer([&] {
        Component clist = Container::Vertical({});
    for (size_t i = std::max(0, (int) clientVec.vec.size() - 9); i < clientVec.vec.size(); ++i) {
            std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(clientVec.vecMutex);
            clist ->Add(Checkbox(clientVec.vec[i], &states[i]));
        };
        return clist->Render() | size(HEIGHT, EQUAL, 3) | vscroll_indicator ;
    });
    ```
