I think it would be best to save a dictionary with the name of the widget and its state

lauramurgatroyd commented 1 year ago

Make sure it can handle the following widget types:

[x] QLabels - save the current text
[x] QCheckBox - save whether checked
[x] QComboBox - save current index
[x] QDoubleSpinBox - current value
[x] QSpinBox - current value
[x] QPushButton - pressed down or not
[x] QLineEdit - current text
[x] UISliderWidget and/or QSlider - current value
[x] QRadioButton - save whether it is selected

As well as their status (i.e. current value) we also want to save and be able to reload whether the widgets are enabled or not. Should we have two dictionaries - one for widget values and one for widget enabled?

Or one with multiple info per widget?

lauramurgatroyd commented 1 year ago

Each widget could have a dict with 'value', 'enabled' and 'visibility'. value could be a bool, str or int depending on the type of widget.

e.g. state = {'widget name' : {'value': True, 'visibility': False, 'enabled': True}}

Current code used for saving and restoring widgets in viewer toolbar dialogs is here: https://github.com/Dagonite/CILViewer/blob/3c070b25fbbea7dc35bf8b77a21b784998e973d0/Wrappers/Python/ccpi/viewer/ui/SettingsDialog.py#L35-L59
