How to Import Widgets

[PChil.1]

I am working on a project that I would like to import a keyboard into, like the one in the examples. How do I import widgets into projects?

Hi,

There's currently no good way of importing a single widget (it usually consists of both json definition as well as custom code). You can import a complete GUI from another project, but this is not what you want. We're discussing how to best create a reusable widget/screen repository.

@Martin KJELDSEN​ , looking forward to that implementation. A widget/screen repository would alleviate a lot of issues and be very helpful.

Another thing that would be useful is to be able to simply copy/paste widgets (or any Designer elements) from one instance of TouchGFX Designer to another instance of the Designer. The only way to copy/paste currently is from one screen to another in the same instance of TouchGFX Designer.

I have numerous projects that are similar and I would like to do this, but I end up having design it all over again or I copy parts of the JSON code and other files with a difference/merge tool.

Would you expect the custom code for that widget (e.g. Custom Container) to be copied with the gui definition?

Thank you for your answers!

No problem!
