[chirp_devel] settings.py help

[Jim Lieb]

I'm writing the KG-UV9D Plus driver. I've got the memory channel and basic settings under 
control but there are a few radio features that need UI support. I've been looking at various 
other drivers and the settings.py (and friends) and haven't found what I'm looking for.

There are a few settings that are really tables, similar but much simpler than the memory tab. 
For example, there are scan groups which have a name, a starting memory channel and and 
ending channel. They are described in the following memory template frag:

#seekto 0x940;
struct {
    struct {
        i16 scan_st;
        i16 scan_end;
    } addrs[10];
    u8 x0968[8];
    struct {
        char name[8];
    } names[10];
} scn_grps;

Yea, it is clumsy and indicates that the firmware coders were sleeping in Data Structures class 
but in the end, it should map to a 3x10 table with header, something on the order of:

name | start | end
===========
airport | 108 | 136 |
....
===========

This would be a RadioSettingGroup or ??? under the settings tab.

I have another which is the caller id table.  In this case, it is a 2x20 table with the first col being 
a 6 char name and the second, a DTMF 6 digit code:

#seekto 0x940;
struct {
    struct {
        i16 scan_st;
        i16 scan_end;
    } addrs[10];
    u8 x0968[8];
    struct {
        char name[8];
    } names[10];
} scn_grps;

Again, this would be a table in a RadioSettingGroup.

I really want to keep this within the driver ATM and not go off hacking settings.py and the GTK 
stuff (yet) but sticking to the (as I understand) the derived classes in settings.py gives me little 
more than lists of simple labeled item widgets.

Ideas, pointers?
