Render XML Dialog Structure into a ContainerGadget
Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2020 2:15 pm
Add to wish list:
Having XML dialog structure to be a rendering within the container gadget (not a window) with the same behaviour as if it was a window.
Rationale:
This could simplify creation of application windows.
XMLdialog renders in predefined Window enclosure. There may be more than one dialog in the same XML each with its own window.
But it will be interesting to have something along this example :
(of course this code do not work
)
perhaps similar to Dialog with a multiple sets of windows, can be under some other 'enclosure'
