Extended interface to control custom windows #28

Closed numeredev closed 1 year ago

numeredev commented 1 year ago

DESCRIPTION

What does your feature request improve on? Please describe. The custom window feature lacks some interaction features like maximize or change of a selection. This makes it impossible to implement e.g. a search feature in a custom window.

Describe the solution you'd like Provide an extended interface to custom windows, especially the following command sequences:

## Get or set a selection
window ID -set item=ID selection=ID
window ID -get item=ID selection=ID

## Set the keyboard focus
window ID -set [item=ID] focus

## Maximize or restore a custom window
window ID -set maximize/restore

## Modify the dropdown lists for dropdown and combobox
window ID -set item=ID label={LABELS}
