HAL Widgets

These widgets generate HAL pins by which they can control or be controlled by external HAL signals. HAL signals must be connected in the POSTGUI_HALFILE since they do not exist until the GUI has been fully loaded.

All pins belong to the qtpyvcp HAL component. Pin names are derived from the widget’s ObjectName as set in designer, with any underscores replaced by dashes.
