TopLevel Views</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ve adding the concept of a TopLevel View - by adding the xml attribute TopLevel = “true” to a View Element or </div><div class="">view->details().setAttribute(“TopLevel”, “true”) you can indicate that the view is a top level view. A SMTK or CMB application can now find all the top level view in an attribute system.

I’ve also simplified the qtUIManager class so you now only need to set the SMTK View to the Manager in order for the proper qtView to be generated.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3. I have an updated CMB branch that is compatible to these changes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">4. Removing Root Views</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">With the concept of a TopLevel View I’m planning on removing Root Views all together since they don’t really add any new functionality. Instead you will be able to add the appropriate Root View Attributes (like default and invalid color) to any View.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Comments are welcome as always</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
