Tomasz,
I was very happy to succeed in making my first DLL that gave me the
functionality I needed without your adding anything new to AFL. I
updated the article I am writing for the UKB to reflect the simpler
setup now because of this. Thank you for all your help with this.
There are now just two things that stand in the way of what I consider
a near perfect implementation of Flexible Parameters. I have put in
requests in the suggestions for them #1440 and #1441.
However, if it is possible for me to implement these things from an
external plugin, I am willing to put in the work to make it happen so
that I can feel good about what I give away to the UKB.
My problem is that the _Section_Begin("Name") command combines several
different functions. While this makes the modular Drag Drop work
simply, it makes it difficult for my large monolithic systems to have
the same functionality and visual appeal of your vision for the
Parameters Window.
I need to do two things to give this work the final polish.
1. The most important of the two. I need to make a command that will
set the internal SectionName to to the "Name" I specify:
SectionNameSet("Name"); I want to do this without doing all the rest
of the stuff that the _Section_Begin("Name") command does like set up
a Parameters Window top level menu button. I just want to change the
internal "Hash" number/string to a new value so that the parameter
statements (which use the same names) following it will have unique
internal names and will not interfere with each other. This provides
just the critical functionality to stop using the _Section_Begin()
command in funny ways by my AFL. Perhaps there is just some way that
I can add some non-displaying characters to the parameter name to make
this unique naming happen.
2. I would like a way to get a particular paramTrigger() name/label
to have a color all the way across the the Parameters Window item that
matches the way the Section buttons look. This could be done before
or after the fact, as I can tell which line in the window I would like
to change the color of with a bit of work in my AFL. This brings back
the basic look to the pseudo-sections that I provide in my AFL. Being
able to extend the active button area across the whole line like a
section menu button would be adding gravy. Of course without #1, #2
is pointless.
In summary, If I could do both of these things, I could get rid of my
_Section_Begin() commands (except the first one) so that I am no
longer using them in ways that were not intended. That way I will not
have to worry as much about future changes to the way the Parameter
Window might function --like saving the open state of the menus. At
the same time, I can bring the basic look and feel in line with what
you normally provide in the Parameters Window.
I appreciate your comments on the possibility of my being to do this
externally.
Best regards,
Dennis
