create a custom widget using code in stm32cubeide

[Ismails]

Is it possible to create a custom widget in touchgfx using code, specifically in stm32cubeide? I would like to start with a blank screen and add a custom widget that I design through code. What are the steps involved in achieving this, including creating the widget class, integrating it into the screen, and ensuring it functions correctly?

Hello @Ismails and welcome to the community!

To create a custom widget, the simplest way is to open TouchGFX Designer, create a new project.
Then, on your application, just go to the "Containers" tab and click on the "+" icon :

Then, you can add shapes, images, etc that you will need for your custom widget.

Then, click on "Generate code":

Then you can open the folder where your project is inside your favorite text editor or IDE (in that case, STM32CubeIDE):

The custom container code will be under TouchGFX => gui => source => container.

From there you can code custom behavior.

I hope this help!
