Hi, I am trying to port a couple of widgets to mapp 6.x but I run into similiar issue like @florent.boissadier in this thread . I have a very basic example where I simply add a new method to directly change the back color of an input widget. I try to inherit the standard input widget and use the st…

Hi Stephan, what Florent wrote is basically true. In the old WDK you had the possibility to access virtually everything you found - but with the big risk that things break with the next version, as there were no defined interfaces. For that reason (and the fact that we switched to webpack) we dec…

Hi @stephan.stricker I will take a look, it’s the numeric input from custom-widget repo ?

Yes, exactly. All the widgets are affected, but that’s probably the easiest one to figure out. Thx for looking into this

In MappView 6, some namespaces is protected, so you need to change the define. Here is something that work on my machine. (no compilation error on openning). Btw you will need to register the widget too, you can take a look here (end of the file) :slight_smile: opcuacviewer/OpcUacBrowser/O…

Hi Stephan, As this post WDTC widget | The OpcUa viewer widget - #7 by hobi from Christian Hobelsberger tell, there is some module that are not exposed anymore. I don’t really know if “libs” folder isn’t exposed but I could take a look tonight. The easiest solution is to copy paste the module in …

Hi Florent, that would be unfortunate because ideally I would reference as much as possible when I inherit existing widgets. Cop and paste would work, but then I have to check these files every time a new mappView update comes out. @hobi72 Can you get us some insides how we should inherit existing…

Yep that’s the problem :confused:

Thanks for the clarification @hobi72 !

So I copied the whole dropdown box widget from brease, but there is still a mountain of references that I have to change because the brease widget references tons of stuff within brease that I may or may not be able to reference through API. This was way easier before. @hobi72 It would be great to…
