Custom inspector in single window mode

timotimo

Is there a simple way to replace the default inspector with my own in single window mode?
Or alternatively add and remove sections from it's accordion view?

This example adds an extra pane in the inspector window and extra toolbar icons in a glyph window and font collection window. This also works in single window mode.

from mojo.events import addObserver

from vanilla import *

class Test(object):

    def __init__(self):
        # subscribe to the moment when an inspector will be shown
        addObserver(self, "inspectorWindowWillShowDescriptions", "inspectorWindowWillShowDescriptions")
        # subscribe to the moment when a glyph windwo will be shown
        addObserver(self, "glyphWindowWillShowToolbarItems", "glyphWindowWillShowToolbarItems")
        # subscribe to the moment when a font windwo will be shown
        addObserver(self, "fontWindowWillShowToolbarItems", "fontWindowWillShowToolbarItems")

        # keep a reference of the inserted inspector view
        self.editor = TextEditor((10, 10, -10, -0))

    def inspectorWindowWillShowDescriptions(self, notification):
        # create an inspector item
        item = dict(label="My Custom View", view=self.editor)
        # this is just a list object where you can append and insert
        notification["descriptions"].insert(0, item)

    def glyphWindowWillShowToolbarItems(self, notification):
        # create an toolbar item
        item = dict(itemIdentifier="customGlyphToolbar", label="Do It", callback=self.doIt, imageNamed="toolbarRun")
        notification["toolbarItems"].insert(-2, item)

    def fontWindowWillShowToolbarItems(self, notification):
        # create an toolbar item
        item = dict(itemIdentifier="customFontToolbar", label="Do It", callback=self.doIt, imageNamed="toolbarRun")
        notification["toolbarItems"].insert(2, item)

    def doIt(self, sender):
        print("do it")
