Multiple window instances

[bolt-blue]

Is it possible to have multiple windows, each with the same "template" so-to-speak, but with varying content?

With what I know of the code base so far, I don't think this can be done.

Each window has a hard-coded string identifier, which I believe is used predominantly to store and reference it's scroll position(s). I don't see a way around this.

Is there perhaps an alternative to help effectively achieve the same ends?

Possible solution is to make a function for the "template", and call it after defining each window

void mytemplate(ctx) {
    /* fixed widget pixel width */
    nk_layout_row_static(ctx, 30, 80, 1);
    if (nk_button_label(ctx, "button")) {
        /* event handling */
    }
}

// ....
struct nk_context ctx;

if (nk_begin(&ctx, "Window 1", nk_rect(50, 50, 220, 220),
    NK_WINDOW_BORDER|NK_WINDOW_MOVABLE|NK_WINDOW_CLOSABLE)) {
    mytemplate(ctx);
}
nk_end(&ctx);

if (nk_begin(&ctx, "Window 2", nk_rect(50, 50, 220, 220),
    NK_WINDOW_BORDER|NK_WINDOW_MOVABLE|NK_WINDOW_CLOSABLE)) {
    mytemplate(ctx);
}
nk_end(&ctx);

Thank you. That could be a workable solution.

I suppose I've had in my head that the string id's would have to be compile-time defined. But I guess there's no reason they couldn't be generated at run time. Unless I'm mistaken.

If that's reasonable, then this approach is definitely fine.
