I'll look into the AxisToolButton. Am I understanding right - you want the popup keyboard for the entry widget that pops when you select 'set'?

No, the popup keyboard is good now.
When you first press the AxisToolButton you get this:

I would like to be able to style that.

spinbutton - DoubleScale may be what you are looking for - (no docs added yet)

I don't see that in the list of widgets

There is no equivalent to hal_label presently but you can combine some widgets to build it:
Connecting a GeneralHALInput to a standard label using designer's signal/slot selector will give a (boring) label that tracks a HAL pin. using stylesheets can make it look at bit better.
You could of course do a little handler file magic to have more control on a label too.
I will look into this missing widget soon though.

OK, no worries

I never noticed the hyphen problem - yes it's a designer restriction on widget names not qtvcp and in fact some widgets have an entry for the HAL name and you can use a hyphen. I'll have to think about whether to change all the widgets to use this (better) way.

Yeah, it is strange. If I change them in the .ui file it works fine. Designer will still load and save with the hyphenated name so long as you don't try to change the name.

I pulled and built yesterday, just tried then and it says I am up to date. master branch

That is probably why, I am running the installed version. When I run the RIP version I have no Qtvcp widgets, I guess I better read the install instructions again.

OK, I'll have a play around and see what I can do. Thanks again.

I am using a VM for this so I just changed from Buildbot 2.8 to Buildbot master and updated, I now have a DoubleScale
