More variable grouping options

#1 by dm.bogachev , Fri Aug 30, 2024 9:55 am

Hi! I have a suggestion for KIDE variables and points list.
It is a very good idea to group array variables in points/variables list and I really like it, and I thought it would be just fine if you could group variables in a different way.
For example, setting up a separator to split variable name in parts with hierarchy, like, for example, it is existing in K-ROSET. I can't upload picture because of error Fehler: Der Datei-Server steht zur Zeit nicht zur, so I'll provide an example in text.

i.e.
I have variables
cnc.door.open
cnc.door.close
cnc.chuck.open
cnc.chuck.close

And group it by a dot separator:
+ cnc
___+ door
______open
______close
___+ chuck
______open
______close

Hi!

Thank you for your suggestion!

The only free, open source grouping component for DataGridViews in WinForms I found is not able to group hirachically. It allows only one layer grouping.

On the other hand, your suggestion is very special. When grouping all variables by a character in it's name, any K-IDE user needs to take care about that convention. To be honest, I don't like such solutions. I alway think about older projects that were not coded with that convention in mind.

A better way (in my opinion) would be to actively add groups to variable lists and than place variables in there (like grouping programs).

Hi!
Thanks for response!
I think that grouping variables by myself is a fine option too
