Qtdragon does not have the MDItouchy widget included.
What version of linuxcnc are you using?

Just upgraded to master (2.9).
I added this section to qtdragon_handler.py:And:But it complains with:
I added this section to qtdragon_handler.py:
from qtvcp.widgets.mdi_touchy import MDITouchy as MTdef on_btn_macro_pressed(self, data = None):
if STATUS.is_mdi_mode():
self.w.MT.run_command()
returnAttributeError: 'VCPWindow' object has no attribute 'MT'

Unfortunately it's more involved then this.
While you have loaded the widget library, you have not made an 'instance' of the widget.
After doing that you must add it to a container widget that is already in qtdragon - usually a stacked widget.
Then you must have a way to select that widget from the stack.
And finally a way to invoke the action of the code.
I tried adding the MDI_touchy widget to a custom qtdragon.ui file but the color scheme hid the text. I haven't the time tonight to figure that problem out yet.
Do you want the MDI_touchy widget or just want the macro button utility?
Qtdragon_hd has ten optional 'macro' buttons added recently bit qtdragon didn't get them.

I think we just need the ability to run macros from a button. Ideally we should be able to dynamically create the buttons based on the number of macro entries in the ini file, but for the moment we managed to run a macro from a button created in the qtdragon.ui file in designer (adding "INSTANCE.on_btn_macro_1_pressed()" to the "true_python_cmd_string" of the button):
And adding this to the handler file:
Although the macro file is just a collection of gcodes without anything else).
INSTANCE.on_btn_macro_1_pressed() def on_btn_macro_1_pressed(self, data = None):
file = open('/home/numtek/linuxcnc/configs/sim.qtvcp_screens.qtdragon/qtdragon.ini')
content = file.readlines()
m1 = content[266]
a_string = m1
sliced = a_string[8:]
sliced = sliced.rstrip("\n")
file = open(f"/home/numtek/linuxcnc/nc_files/{sliced}.ngc", 'r')
for i in file.readlines():
ACTION.CALL_MDI(i)
file.close()Although the macro file is just a collection of gcodes without anything else).
