Module `vLib`

This class provides static members and methods for the vLib library

Functions

generate_uid ()	generate a unique string that you is used as viewbuilder id for widgets (avoids clashes in names between multiple instances of the same widget)
get_skin_color (name)	retrieve values from the default skin/theme

uid_counter	(int) when you instantiate a vLib component, it will register itself with a unique viewbuilder ID.
lazy_updates	(bool) when true, complex widgets will schedule their updates, possibly saving a little CPU along the way
config	(table) set once we access the XML configuration
imageroot	(string) location of images
DEFAULT_BMP	specify a bitmap which is guaranteed to exist (required when creating bitmap views before assigning the final value)
CONTROL_H	(number), standard height for controls

generate_uid ()

generate a unique string that you is used as viewbuilder id for widgets (avoids clashes in names between multiple instances of the same widget)

string, e.g. "vlib12"

get_skin_color (name)

retrieve values from the default skin/theme

uid_counter: (int) when you instantiate a vLib component, it will register itself with a unique viewbuilder ID. This is the global incrementer
lazy_updates: (bool) when true, complex widgets will schedule their updates, possibly saving a little CPU along the way
config: (table) set once we access the XML configuration
imageroot: (string) location of images
DEFAULT_BMP: specify a bitmap which is *guaranteed* to exist (required when creating bitmap views before assigning the final value)
CONTROL_H: (number), standard height for controls
