qtvcp issues

What do you mean by overlays?

Overlaying a button with a picture. Or putting picture on top of a button.

Overlay may not be the right word for QT.

That was my guess but I didn't want to assume again
Icons are small images representing function. That would be the best parallel.

I have loaded the mdi history but have not been able to check it out because it appears to disabled for for input. You can see it in the picture I have attached for the updated probing panel. I believe the bottom is the input area for it and that should be raised up just a bit.

I have updated my initial panel layout for the probing interface. I think it includes everything that it needs for now and will allow coding to begin by using the verser version 1 .py as a a base to work with. The panel uses the same buttons although they have names that are renamed to be more compatible with the naming convention used in the x1Mill gui.

I will be making links to the probing related buttons and labels in the .ui and handler files in the next few days.

I have not been able to get any output from the onboard keyboard to display in a text label, or the mdi input and need a bit of help with that. Also when the panel is closed that the onboard keyboard is in, that need a keyboard kill or close cmd.

Her are a few pictures that show the current probing panel and mdi history off to its right. there are no images on the probing panel buttons right now.

Chris,

On labels, by convention those that have the ability to take a text input from a keyboard always have a light background while those used for info output only have a darker background. Can you make a suggestion on the best way do that? Does qt have a definition to declare these as input or output?

the MDIHistory widget is disabled until linuxcnc is homed - do you have a homing button yet?
Can you push your work to your github again, maybe I'll get a change to work with your probe screen

QLineEdits are used for text entry.
Labels are just for output.
