OOP in Rev...

[Len Morgan]

Putting the OOP vs rOOP discussion aside for a moment, I would love to 
have the ability to create "new" GUI objects.  For example, consider a 
fader for a mixing board. 

It has a sliding "thumb" (like a scrollbar), usually a pan control at 
the top, perhaps a VU meter next to the slider to show the signal (sort 
of a progress bar), and a couple of text fields at the bottom for the 
name of the channel (Guitar, Vocal, etc), and the current dB value of 
the slider.  Such an object would have properties for current slider 
position, set the VU meter level, set the pan position, etc.  I'd like 
to be able to create this object and place it on a card just like a 
button or field.

I suppose this could be done with a group (just about all of the 
required pieces are there and could be manipulated with xTalk) but I 
don't know of an easy way to store that "object" in such a way that I 
could drop it on to a card.  Perhaps a future enhancement might be 
"stack format" that could save just an object in it (.obj or .wid?).  I 
don't think that would be too big a stretch.

Any ideas or comments?
