Additionally, custom properties for custom widgets can be configured as bidirectional–that is, both input and output. In the past, only a custom widget's "value" property could be used for input. Now, any custom property can be use for input. Additionally, multiple properties can be used for input on a single custom widget.

The new pui.BasicWidget class simplifies the task of creating custom widgets without sacrificing any flexibility.

To use the new bidirectional properties in custom widgets, there are two API that now accept special arguments:

• pui.widgets.add - the "constr", "render", and "getValue" options are added for pui.BasicWidget. The "render" and "getValue" options for pui.widgets.add may be sufficient for most needs. For more advanced use, the constructor of a subclass of pui.BasicWidget can be specified for "constr".
• pui.addCustomProperty - the "bidirectional" and "showDesignValue" options are added for pui.BasicWidget

pui.BasicWidget

pui.BasicWidget is a super class defined in Profound UI that integrates with the Profound UI framework allowing input and output and point-and-click design. pui.BasicWidget is designed for Object-Oriented-Programming so that code can be encapsulated and inherited for reuse. Custom widgets that subclass pui.BasicWidget can render not just in runtime, but in Visual and Node Designers for visual, WYSIWYG screen design.
