[Suggestions] "class" attribute

[gouxim]

Hello,

Today we can add and id="" attribute to a Manialink element and later retrieve it with

Code: Select all

Frame.GetFirstChild(Text)

What about adding the class="" attribute.

• Id is unique
• Class can be used on several elements, and several classes can be used on a single element

eg.

Code: Select all

<quad id="myquad" class="button some-other-class yet-another-class" />

Some notes:

• Ideally ids and classes should have a stricter format. Eg (alphanum + .-_)
• Frame.GetById and Frame.GetByClass could be used to retrive a Control and an array of Controls respectively
• GetByClass should be recursive, with maybe the possibility to turn recursivity off with an optional parameter

That sounds useful.
I think you can already have elements with the same ID and go through them via foreach or so. But then you can't address a specific one.
It would be cool if that could be added
