I installed the new deb from releases but it doesn't seem to be adding anything new. I don't have qabstractproperties on the pushbutton whether I set it inside the stacked widget or not. Do I have to do anything special when upgrading flexgui?
 
I'm not sure what qabstractproperties is, what are you trying to do with that?

If you download the deb from the latest release and install it with gdebi or your favorite way you have the latest.

I'll add a screenshot to the docs.

Sorry I mean, Dynamic Properties. I couldn't remember the name because it does not appear. This is from your video
 

This is what I actually have.
 

I see what you're doing there, I got it from the first video.....I just can't do it because it doesn't exist. So I'm asking where dynamic properties for the QPushButton came from

I installed the 1.1 deb from git using apt yesterday

OK yeah, that's the part that was missing from the first video. Youtube embeds don't work well on my end so I missed it in the 2nd

I see some of the other controls items have dynamic properties so it might be mentioned elsewhere in the docs but I didn't see any mention of it while just progressing through.

Edit: I see it in "Step by Step" gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/hal.html#step-by-step

Yeah that looks much nicer than the tabwidget when it's run....

The frames on the list and plain text editor aren't visible in the dark-touch theme. For now I'm just sticking them on frame widgets because they blend in with the background otherwise.

One more question......

On the stacked widget, designer seems to save the "current index" as the default, so if you happen to be editing a page and save it, running it from LinuxCNC will always start on that page. Is there any way to create a "default index"?

I have like 3 stacked widgets on top of each other so I have to make sure I set them all to the desired first page before I save it

I suppose I hit some different circumstances since I'm trying to do something with a touchscreen rather than something like Axis, couple of things I ran across.....

I don't even bother adding a MenuBar, but I would like to use a pushbutton to open halshow, etc....Any way to do that?

I also noticed there's no good binary indicators in qt5's standard set of widgets, like LEDs or even a button that changes appearance on input. The only thing I've found is hal labels, but even then I think they are only actually good for displaying numeric values. If set to "bit" type input, they just display true or false. I don't see any way to make a text string appear or disappear at least. Looking for something that can just indicate a fault.

If something like this is already there just point it out, I'm good at missing things.
