Summary

Add more Control Types

Detail

It would be nice, if you could add more Control types, since many of them are missing. A full list of available types can be found in the Bohemia Community Wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Dialog_Control#CONTROL_TYPES
That would make your tool a real good alternative for anything relatable to me ^^ Great work

I very often use grouping of elements in groups, but the desired type is missing (15)

Same here; checkbox for example would also make a good addition.

Please please please

ControlsGroup - CT_CONTROLS_GROUP Type=15

If you are already considering this, please delete this post.

Great work BTW, how would we design dialogs without you :)

While waiting for them, what I do is open the project .xml and manually change it.
It's not perfect, but works ;)

Not sure how I can get controls to exist and display within a group. I have tried importing an existing dialog from description.ext where I have controls within an RscControlsGroup Controls Class and they get lost. I would be grateful if you could share if and how you have achieved this.

@OfficialStamper
Probably controls inside the group control get lost because positioning inside a group control is relative to group control's origin (top left), not relative to display's origin (0, 0).

Its not the fact they are invisible, or off the screen. The child controls of the Group do not appear in the list of controls for the project. Completely gone as if deleted!

Control Groups are not supported, however, there is a bit of code in ADC that should allow for Control Groups to at least have children controls in ADC. This partial implementation is to prevent loss of data when you import from configs. I'll take a look into this.
