Could you benefit from conditional import in windows? (1 Viewer)

Hi

I think I may have found an easy way to make conditional imports possible.

Say, for instance you have a xml-file you would like to import in all dialogs, but only when they are called while your are in the window mytvhome.xml (window-id 1).

With my possible solution you could do this:

<import condition="window.isvisible(1)">yourwindow.xml</import>

Or are imports cached together with the actual window?

If not, I see a lot of potential in this approach. My method would allow any existing condition to be used just like on nomal controls...

Let me hear what you think.

Ok, tested a bit last night and while it actually works, the dialogs and windows remembers imported files so the condition won't work while browsing the windows. I should have figured this out, but was probably too busy

Now, the optional path is to make the actual controls "active" based on the same conditions. This way you could control it with something like:

<control condition="window.isvisible(1)">

Hmm...will do a test tonight.

This sounds pretty interesting and found it while doing a search on conditional import.

It was unfortunately much more complicated than I first thought, so I have parked this idea for the time being.
