[TouchGFX] Printing Texts on display that are not defined on Designer GUI

[SKokk.1]

Hello,

On some of our old products, a small F103 was driving a TFT and also was getting the data to be printed (Strings,X-Y,Color etc) via UART from the [main] MCU.

We have changed the F103 with F746/F429i and running the TouchGFX but in order to keep the same logic and support the old firmware on main MCU (at least for now), we need to print Texts/Strings to display on the fly (same like we do on F103).

Is that possible with TouchGFX?

Hello,

Yes it is possible. You need to use wildcards with the TextArea widget.
