SKUI — A GUI Framework for SketchUp
-
Great project! I have also been thinking about something like this.
I'm going to try this out, beta or not, it seems way more solid than my own webdialogs

It's quite a stable beta. I hope to get the last few issues ironed out soon.
-
I'm also going to try this. Where can I get the most up to date documentation and examples?
Questions I have:
- How will language translation work?
- Do you support hints during hovering?
- How well do the components line up? I would like to line things up like this.

If it's platform independent, It will become the most downloaded plugin (after Sketchucation tools)
By devs, certainly! But I don't think regular users will download this.
(Well, they will, but embedded in other plugins) -

Everything is located at the GitHub repository. https://github.com/thomthom/SKUI

That's not handled by SKUI. You use your own translator - use it when you create the dialog. You can also change the labels after it's been loaded.

Tooltips? By using the
.tooltipgetter and setter.

You line them us as you please. You specify position and size. There is no automatic layout as of now.
Note that it's still in beta. It's not 100% complete and might still incur breaking changes so pay attention if you use it and update. The Issue tracker on GitHub got an overview of open issues and what's targeted for the first release.

(Well, they will, but embedded in other plugins)That's why it has to be on the plugin store as a library, and (automatically ?) loaded (by dependency)
-
Can this be installed once - and then used by a number of different plugins by a number of different authors? Or do we have to include a copy of SKUI with each plugin installation?

I've not made it available for user installation.

There is a special loading method that will let you load SKUI into your own namespace without requiring you to modify SKUI, please see the Wiki:
https://github.com/thomthom/SKUI/wiki/Embedding-SKUI-in-ProjectsThat way you get the version your plugin depend on - which require you to bundle it with your extension.
Since SKUI is still in flux I haven't yet considered any other way of distributing it - as changes would break plugins.You could always fork the project and modify your own version, changing the root namespace.
Note that the license prohibit distribution of a modified SKUI unless you change the root namespace.
But I'd encourage people to contribute to the main GitHub repo instead of doing their private mods. -
This is great.

Has SKUI been tested on Mac ?
Mac-users

Mac-usersYes, I have a mac I test it on.
How come? You found issues? -
So, I'm a bit unclear here - have you found issues with SKUI on OSX?

Completly clear : Before i use it, i wanted to know..... So i don't have any experience yet with SKUI.
Thanks for the info : tested on Mac -

Hi ThomThom,
SKUI is helping me a lot in building some basic GUI.
Need your help for the following scenario.
I am adding controls to the window. I have kept a selection observer, when ever the selection changes, Need to remove all the controls in the window and add new ones.I am trying to use the remove_control method of control_manager which is not deleting all the controls. Please let me know if it is right to use the below code for removing all the controls of the window.
window.controls.each do |control| window.remove_control(control) endThank you,
Arun. -
hm... haven't really done much for removing. I don't recall what that method was for. Though, performance wise I would think it would be faster to put them in a Groupbox - then hide/show the groupbox. ...saying that - maybe hide/show need to be added...
-
No - Control.visible and Control.visible= is already implemented!
But I really should generate them docs. -
Hey TT,
The remove_control works good. It indeed removes the control from the window.
The issue was with my code, I was using window.controls.each to call the remove_control in which, the control is deleted from the array.
My code:
@window.controls.each do |container| @window.remove_control(container) endCode in remove_control
@controls.delete( control )I commented the delete inside the remove_control function and used
@windows.controls.clearin my function.Thanks & Regards,
Arun -
Ah, you where removing elements from the collection you iterated - that will usually always cause problems with any collection. You want to make an array copy of the collection first and iterate that instead.
@window.controls.to_aeach -
Hi TT,
I want to try to add a progressbar control to SKUI.
It does not seem very different from the jQuery widget for "button"...
Do you have any tips on where to start?Another question, how did you disable the right-click / context menu in the webdialog?
Would be nice to temporarily enable "view source"...Thanks!
