Ability to add comments to Live Design tool command list
-
My design if fairly complex. It sure would be helpful to be able to add comments to the box 2 command list. It seems to me adding a "comment widget" object would be a fairly elegant and simple way to enable this. The comment lines could then be displayed in box 2 and the GUI-O command string box. The comments would then be stripped out when sent to the GIO-O app.

@mile_hi_guy Hi.
Designer v0.0.19 now supports comments. You can download it feom GUI-O website.
You can find the comment "item" at the bottom of the list of components. You add it just like any other component and modify the text with your comment. It is then displayed in the initialization string field.
If you like using GUI-O, please consider rating it on Google Play Store.
Best regards,

Thanks for getting the "comment" feature added so quickly. I have added comments to each widget grouping in my UI design, and they make it much easier to navigate quickly to the correct widgets to modify when I want to make changes to the design. I have over 120 widgets on 2 layers so far in the main screen of my milling machine controller UI. This will save me a lot of time since I am sure I will be making many enhancements going forward over time.
It would be even better if each comment appeared after the word "COMMENT" in the box 2 list of commands as well. Hopefully that could be added without a large amount of effort.
I will definitely give GUI-O a positive review in the Google Play Store. I really didn't want to have to learn how to create Android apps in order to build the GUI for my controller. I probably would have stayed with my inflexible hard wired control panel instead.

@mile_hi_guy I also notice that the comments get inserted into the command string list preceded by back slashes (\ ) instead of forward slashes (// ). Was this the intent or was it an error?

@mile_hi_guy Hi!
🫢 Ups! You are right. Totally my mistake! I didn't even notice that...
I will fix this.
Thanks for this.

Fixed, v0.0.20. Also added the comments to the selection view.
I made some minor changes and you will need to update your comments.Best regards,
