Re: [platform-debug-dev] extending VariablesView?

[Derek Morris <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Samantha,

Having look through the code, I see that it provides an additional 
rendering (HexTree) into the existing memory monitor.

What I would like to do, is create a new (additional) view, based on the 
Memory View, but with some new functionality (renderings). I do not want 
to add a new rendering to the existing memory view. Is this possible 
with the new infrastructure?

Thanks,
