Y Controls Version 1 - Ready for Guinea Pigs

[paul_cardinale]

Y Controls are an alternative to X Controls and Q Controls.  This table illustrates some of the differences:

Unzip the installer.  Read the ReadMe.  Run the installer.

If you're curious, look inside the source.

Maybe not.  I'm finding newly introduced bugs.  Stay tuned.

[paul_cardinale]

OK, throw away that other one and try this one.

I've made some minor improvements.  Is anyone interested?

A few images or a PDF would help greatly in judging whether one should give it a whirl or not.....

Indeed.

I glanced over it.

A big reason for QControls is the inheritance of control properties. If you create a string child, you inherit all the string properties. That's the entire set property for the entire control class hierarchy is implemented with VI class methods .

At a glance, YControls seem XControl based, and they don't have this ability. That is a huge downside.

I couldn't tell at a glance how\if you solved this.

From an instance of a Y Control (which is a cluster) on a front panel, the (only) visible element is an instance of the Facade.ctl.  You can right-click on that cluster element and create a reference, property node, or invoke node to access all the methods and properties of the facade.

There is an XControl hiding inside Y Controls; but it's just a helper used to capture certain events, it doesn't impose it's limitations on Y Controls.

That chm for me looks empty. I see the index, but it shows nothing where the actual documents should be.....
