Hack/modify framework files?

Hi.

I wish to modify some of the header files in TouchGFX itself.

Concretely: I want to add both data members and virtual methods to:

- touchgfx/containers/Container.hpp

- mvp/Presenter.hpp

 

Possible? No... The windows simulator crashes.

Why? Most likely because one links to msvs/libtouchgfx_v143.lib which contains source files that absolutely expects those header files to not be edited.

Then I try to compile all the source files instead of linking to the prebuilt one.

Works? No… Some of the secret stuff cannot be found as source code. That’s fair. It’s a commercial product.

 

But then what?

The core files should be hackable enough that developers can build their own frameworks around them.

How about splitting the libraries into two parts: One for the files that cannot be shared and the other for files that can.

Cheers

Hello @ReneJensen ,

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider it, but can I ask what are the changes that you would like to implement?
