Flexible GUI

Oh and is there any way to use a progress bar for something like spindle speed feedback? I don't see progressbar in the docs

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.
 

So yes you can use a QStackedWidget now.

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

 

You can now and no need to set it checkable in the designer the code does that for you.

I'll have to add a HAL QProgressBar... then you can connect it in your postgui.hal file.

I've added a QProgressBar to monitor the HAL pin you give it.

No time left this morning for a video...

Wow that was quick. I'll check that out soon

Thanks

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.

The first video really didn't show the steps to create a stacked widget page change buttons very well.



And I added a screen shot to the docs

As an added bonus I just added Next Previous buttons for a stacked widget so you only need two buttons for unlimited number of pages.
