Creating a costum container/costum widget with a TextArea that has a variable ResourceID

[MAu]

Is it possible to create a costum container with a TextArea, which hast a variable ResourceID. I want to create a template for a MenuItem.

When using a costum container i had to create ​a new costum container for each specific Text/ResourceID, right?

​

A costum widget could be a solution i guess, but this only can be done by code.

Will it be possible in the near future to create and use Costom Widgets in the TouchGFX Designer?

Hello MAu,

(If I understand correctly your question) Custom Containers can definitely have a TextArea. Plus this TextArea can be changed accordingly as a MenuItem. For this, the TextArea needs to use Wildcards.

Also, Custom Containers can already be used in Designer. If you are talking about not using Custom Containers as a MenuItem but normal widget, you will find your created CustomContainer in the list of widgets when clicking on the (+) [Add a widget].

Please have a look at the UI Example "Scroll Wheel and Scroll List" available in TouchGFX Designer.
