I have done some basic cleanup of the sample project and added an image for a sample use case.
-> github.com/.../custom-itemtype-view
Currently, I am having mixed feeling about the current result.
I still like the idea and the basic sample works. But the current version is inflexibly and terrible to maintain.
Instead of treating each non-working CUI button separately, maybe a better approach is the use of CUI Methods, that handle the parameters passed to the original CUI buttons.
I made some successful attempts with the automatic linking of the original Part Actions and Reports to the FakePart with a additional Methods in the Presentation Configuration.
This way Actions and Reports were automatically added to the Main Window Menubar and Main Window PopUp Menu. But I still do not have enough programming knowledge to use this concept for all of the related CUI elements. Maybe things will become a little bit easier with the new xProperties, but I haven´t tried yet.
I do not work on the project often, but I think I'll find the missing piece of the puzzle someday.
All fresh ideas for this project are very welcomed!!!
