There are many links on the Internet to tell you how to configure git to use custom tools for VI. Many are wrong. Yesterday, I and another developer outside NI worked through the sequence and got it working repeatably on both of our machines. Here is the process. Save both of the attached files someplace permanent on your hard drive that is outside of any particular git repo. We used C:\Users\<<username>>\AppData\Local\Programs\GIT\bin _LVCompareWrapper.sh_LVMergeWrapper.sh Modify your global git config file. It is saved at C:\Users\<<username>>\.gitconfig You need to add the following lines: [mergetool "sourcetree"] cmd = 'C:/Users/smercer/AppData/Local/Programs/GIT/bin/_LVMergeWrapper.sh' \"$BASE\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" \"$MERGED\" trustExitCode = true [difftool "sourcetree"] cmd = 'C:/Users/smercer/AppData/Local/Programs/GIT/bin/_LVCompareWrapper.sh' \"$REMOTE\" \"$LOCAL\" [merge] tool = sourcetree [diff] tool = sourcetree That's it. There are lots of ways to edit the .gitconfig from the command line or by using SourceTree's UI... if you know those ways, go ahead and use them.

Two questions about this: 1. Does something like this already exist? 2. Is this something that could be useful? Every once in a while I need dynamic UI components that can be generated at runtime. One nice thing to use for this is a picture control; however it doesn't lend itself as well to keeping other pieces of function such as mouse click events and such. I put together a mini library of UI functions for this that has the ability to be extended. The UI can be generated dynamically at runtime and be any picture thing that you can draw. Using Standard layout techniques that you might find in other GUI libraries. The hierarchy generation can always be simplified by using some type of templating string.

I added what I have to https://github.com/taylorh140/Pgui. It's only right since I copied the enabling technology right from this forum. I don't know if ill have a huge amount of time to work on this but ill defiantly try and improve it when I can. There is still a lot of things that would be nice to develop for this.
