Custom wires like Galapagos

Dear all,

Reviewing some of the actual answers on the forum, I can understand how to render in a different way the wires connecting the components.

The custom component I'm working in is trying to control some sliders, in a similar way Galapagos does. Ee are wondering if it's possible with the actual SDK to develop sort of similar functionality so we can identify the wires are not sharing data but controlling elements.

Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance.

Cheers, RJ.

You'll have to create custom attributes for your object, then override the Render method and draw your own wires in the Wires channel. You can draw them in any way you like, but remember that only input wires are drawn by a component/parameter. Output wires are drawn by the target objects so you cannot change their appearance.

Thanks David!!

I will make a try to see if I'm able to have a proof of concept... so It may be easier to have further help in case I need, which definitely I will need...
