Extra widgets suggestion

[nielsnl68]

The lv_msgbox is for sure interested to show notifications on the screen.
There is already a PR that added this functionality and can be used like:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: GPIO0
    name: "Notificatiom Button"
    on_press:
      then:
       - lvgl.notification:
          title: "Hello World"
          message: "Please, brush your teeth every day."
          buttons: ["Done","Not Today"]
          on_return: 
             then:
                if:
                 condition:
                     lambda: |-
                         return  x== "Done"
                 then:
                   ... # do something`

I hope @clydebarrow can add it soon.

Yeah, I saw that just earlier. I don't seem to have notifications on for PRs or issues :-( Will get to it as I work through the widgets.

How would a lv_win look like? Would it be easier than drawing the items manually? (a full screen translucent object to make it modal, children objects on top of it for interaction).

How do we get return states?

Use case:

Five windows with motorized shutters. In addition to the usual UP/STOP/DOWN buttons, the inhabitants want to have three shortcut positions for each shutter, and also a slider for free positioning. Useless to say that it's impossible to put all these on a page, and also it would be a pity to use up 5 pages just for these.

We'll just put the most used, UP/STOP/DOWN buttons on the page (this already looks a bit much...) and we'll use a long press event on the middle STOP button to show a pop-up with the extra required settings related to the desired shutter.

OpenHASP solution with manual drawing, very cumbersome.

You can create more complex dialogs added to top_layer with a full-screen sized, half-opaque obj with any child widgets on it, and the hidden flag set to true by default. For non-modal dialogs, simply set the clickable flag to false on it.

still waiting to see it merged or commenting on.

Meanwhile it got implemented in a different way: https://deploy-preview-3510--esphome.netlify.app/components/lvgl#msgboxes

Yes I considered not implementing the inbuilt msgbox but decided it was nice to have a shorthand way to create dialogs.

I like my solution more sorry. I have already some use cases where i want to use this msgboxes. I do not see why we should predefine them,
