Need to use EmojiLabel in ProgressDialog

[farshadf]

Hi,

Thanks for your nice work. I was wondering if there is any way to use the EmojiLabel to show non-alphanumeric characters in "title" of a "ProgressBar". This is how I imagine it would be used:

*.brs:

sub showDialog()
    print "progress dialog...";
    PEmojiTitle = createObject("roSGNode", "EmojiLabel")
    PEmojiTitle.text = " 🤔 Processing..."
    m.dialog.title = PEmojiTitle
    m.dialog.visible = true
end sub

*.xml

  <children>
    <StandardProgressDialog
      id="CallProgressDialog"
      title=""
      visible="false"
      />
  </children>

Is such a setup possible or should I take a completely different approach?

Please let me know if you need any additional parts or files or more detailed clarification. Thank you.

Hello! Sorry for the late response, I don't check this repo too often but I'm happy someone is using it! Now the standard dialog nodes provided by the roku brightscript/scenegraph library (like progress dialog) are supposed to be dropped in usage and only accept strings, which as you know from standard components will not render emojis. I assume you mean this: https://developer.roku.com/docs/references/scenegraph/standard-dialog-framework-nodes/standard-progress-dialog.md. I think the only way to do what you would want is to re-create that dialog from scratch and use an EmojiLabel in that custom component. I don't think what you are describing is possible, but I've not been doing much active scenegraph development for the last year so that could be incorrect. Good luck!
