Is there a Spring command that will load/initialize a widget?

I am looking for the something like the widgetHandler:RemoveWidget(), but with the flexibility to add and initialize any widget (by name or id), once a gadget detects a specific event.

Thanks

Spring doesn't know about widget/gadgets. They are purely implemented inside the Lua environment.



You might need to override the widget/gadget handler. Take a look at ZK, it implements it's own F11 list.

I found an easy was to enable or disable widgets using the following Spring Commands:

Spring.SendCommands({"luaui enablewidget <widgetName>"})
Spring.SendCommands({"luaui disablewidget <widgetName>"})

Yes. Spring still does not know about the widgets though. These commands are sent to the lua environment and the magic happens there.

Most often, users want a pragmatic answer. Your stringent technicalities may be exact from a rigorous point of view, but are irrelevant here.
