Subclassed controls description for library

Is it possible to set the description for the library for custom controls?
We often have subclassed controls with the same name (in different modules).
In the library they have all the same name and it’s not possible to make a difference of them until you drag them on the window.

@StefanA I hope you are referring to the upcoming “library” feature of Xojo, where plugins can be developed and compiled in Xojo into Libraries (custom controls etc.) :slight_smile:

I mean the controls library in the Xojo IDE :wink:

Knew it… just wishful thinking :D…

Isn’t there a Description field on the advanced tab in the inspector?

There is not (you might be thinking of Event Definitions, where there is). When I tried adding it as an Attribute it did not work :confused: (the way “Deprecated” can suggest the new class)

Seems after three years I’m starting to forget my IDE knowledge :frowning:

This would make a good feature request though. Having the library fall back to an attribute if one doesn’t otherwise exist should be fairly straightforward.

Case already exists…somewhere.
