Intelli Sense for ui objects
-
@omz, with the code below I was just exploring possibilities yet again. The below is not to bad.this or variations of this have been done before. Again, it's ok except the editor can not do its auto complete magic. As you can see it's a ui object wrapped in a class. A attr called ext is dynamically added to the ui object and points to the wrapping class.
I have no idea if this is possible or not. But if a specific attr appeared in a ui class like ext or whatever you define, would it be possible to do the auto complete on the definitions that the attr was pointing to? And if you could do it, it's it something that you would consider doing?It's just a idea. Yeah, I know this has been tried to be solved many times over. I think the 2 step experiment below is ok. The major thing lacking is editor auto complete/ intelli sense support.

No editor import 😱🎉

@Phuket2 If not impossible, this turns out to be rather difficult. I spent some time experimenting with this a while back.. my solution effectively took a snapshot of your current python globals, then wrote a wrapper py file containing all of the in-use ObjCClasses to a special file which you have to import. Then you have to trigger a reload of that file in jedi.
I forget how far I got, I think I had somethig partway functional, but decided it was not really worth the effort.

@JonB , thanks. It was just a thought. If that issue could be bridged , it would see like one reasonable way fake subclassing ui elements. @omz has been quite for sometime. Personally I have a feeling he is going to give us a Big Bang soon. If not it does not matter I am happy with what we have... We will see I guess

A Big Bang like golang on the iPad era what?
