Dev tool (3.1): ViewBuilder Sandbox

Renoise Tools
1

A simple helper for developers (perhaps mainly me) that can speed up the process of designing/tweaking a GUI, or just learning the ViewBuilder API.

Location: Tools menu.

Note 1: If you do whacko stuff with native notifiers, these errors will escape outside the sandbox and become more verbose. The tool should not break, however.

Note 2: It would be cool if it was possible to hook the sandbox to the environment of any other tool. Maybe it’s possible via someplace deep in the debug library?

Let me know if you find any errors (of the kind that shouldn’t be there) :slight_smile:

Looks smashing Joule :slight_smile:

However maybe a little teething problem on quiting your tool dialog(s), then trying to reopen it from the tool menu I get:

Not sure if you meant to type ‘Restore’ instead of ‘Retore’ on your button (line 102)?

[Fixed]

Very clever Joule, good idea, well done :slight_smile:

Oops. Thanks! Something always slips by. Fixed in OP, I hope.

That’s great!

Maybe you can consider a horizontal sliding bar too, to change the width of the window.This kind of tool should be in the download kit for beginners.

Ah, yeah. I was thinking about it. Then I thought 80 columns is a good restriction… :slight_smile: I’ll see…
