Flexible GUI

I suppose I hit some different circumstances since I'm trying to do something with a touchscreen rather than something like Axis, couple of things I ran across.....

I don't even bother adding a MenuBar, but I would like to use a pushbutton to open halshow, etc....Any way to do that?

I also noticed there's no good binary indicators in qt5's standard set of widgets, like LEDs or even a button that changes appearance on input. The only thing I've found is hal labels, but even then I think they are only actually good for displaying numeric values. If set to "bit" type input, they just display true or false. I don't see any way to make a text string appear or disappear at least. Looking for something that can just indicate a fault.

If something like this is already there just point it out, I'm good at missing things.

All the menu items have push buttons as well.

Let me look into adding user text to a bit type hal label.

You didn't miss anything unless you looked in the last few minutes lol. I just added that feature.

Lol yeah, I noticed them in the docs and started adding them before updating the debs.....

Kinda tedious but it's getting there...

 

Kind of a bummer about the bold text thing

Looking good!
