Traversing DrawableComposite (from createFromSVG)

General JUCE discussion
#1

Hi,

when creating a DrawableComposite via createFromSVG() JUCE hierarchically sets the component names from the svg tag IDs.

While I beleive setting the component names is cosmetical only it would add functionality to set the component IDs instead or additionally.

This way I can traverse the component tree by findChildWithID() and attach the returned components to GUI controls.

Cheers,

raketa

 

I can provide the changed file, if you think it make sense to generally implement it this way.

#2

I'm surprised it doesn't already do that - sure, if it's a one-line change I should make that happen.

#3

Great,

its actually a "three"-liner:

setName() ocurres three times in juce_SVGParser.cpp.
