Flexible GUI

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

I just added the dynamic properties section to the docs and put links to it where dynamic properties are mentioned

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.

I'll look into the dark-touch theme to see what I need to fix that.

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

Yup I just make sure that all tab widgets are set to the default page. You could add some Python code to set them.

The syntax would be something like this:
