Thank you so much that is a HUGE help.

@MennilTossFlykune do you know if it's possible to zoom to the machine extents (the red box) with a pushbutton?

There has been a lot of improvements in Flex GUI the latest is HAL spin boxes. If you preset a value in the spin box when you start the configuration the HAL pin values are updated.

Is there any mechanism to use a qstackedwidget and some pushbuttons instead of the tab widget? I suppose you generally need to stuff some python in there to use the former.

I have used a QStackedWidget before but not in this project and yes you need to code the buttons to change pages. I'm assuming you have a small monitor and the tabs from a QTabWidget take up too much space?

Nah, it's a 16" touchscreen and a good portion of the controls will be in the hardware. I'm just not a huge fan of tab widgets, when the handles are large enough to be useable on a touchscreen they waste space, plus all of the handles are in 1 spot, vs pushbuttons that can be anywhere. I'm just getting rolling so they'll work for now.

Can stuff like "view_dro_cb" be a pushbutton that is set to checkable rather than a checkbox?
