[chirp_devel] horizontal radio settings

[Jens Jensen]

I'm pretty weak on MVC patterns, but my understanding is keeping a clean separation between radio drivers (model?) and the UI (view/controller?)

Could this be done from radio driver if we can signal some sort of logical partiioning? Ideas:
Allow RadioSettingsGroup (RSG) nesting. Multiple RSGs within a tab (i.e., top-level RSG) would signal UI/view to attempt to render one nested RSG per column.
Or maybe same idea above as RSG subclassing, i.e., RadioSettingsSubGroup.
Or maybe appending something akin to a column break, e.g., RadioSettingsGroupColumnBreak, to the list which would signal UI to draw to a new column in the list.


While we are on this subject, I have desired a (long) description field for some radio setting values which would act like a tooltip.

Another desire was the ability to have a label or (read-only) textarea field for informational purposes in the UI.
