More details and overview in the Bindings tab

[SeeSharpSoft]

This is a proposal for enhancing the Bindings tab.

Motivation

What I would like to see as a developer when investigating into the binding of a property:

• the model => name, type and content
• the context => content
• the path
• the value from the model
• the formatted value
• the formatter function
• the value type
• the binding mode

Due the support of multi-binding, showing the model/path/value gets more complex. However, I would like to see all parts of the binding including the individual models, paths and values.

Furthermore I would like to change a bound value in the model and see its change reflected in the property. This would especially be useful for UI related bindings, e.g. visible, expanded, listMode, etc.

How it might look like

My proposal for the bindings tab is shown in the following picture:

Editing the values is enabled for all models with TwoWay bindingmode.

Changing the bound model value is not only reflected in the model information but also in the property and in the UI itself.

Implementation

A running version is available here: https://github.com/SeeSharpSoft/ui5-inspector/commits/BINDINGS_FEATURE_MODEL_DETAILS

Please note: This is not a final commit. Besides certain TODOs it also needs some conceptual rework.

I am looking forward getting feedback on this.

Hello @SeeSharpSoft,

We will provide similar functionality in a future version of the extension. Once the version is decided I will add the request to the proper milestone.
