+1 for adding the new API

Attached patches from Tom for Scene and ToggleGroup.

The only other NONE Node subclass that comes to my mind is ToggleGroup

We will add the API when the patch is complete and ready for review.

+1 for adding this new API to Window and also to Scene.

I agree. I was just asking whether you had done a pass on controls to see whether the list is complete. For example, Tab and TableColumn support user data.
29-07-2014
I think Window and Scene should cover it all, these are basically the main objects that form a scenegraph. I don't think we should have user data support in some auxiliary objects like effects, bounds, etc...
29-07-2014
This seems reasonable to me. Are there other non-Node classes that we missed that might also support arbitrary application data?
28-07-2014
I would naturally contribute the same patches for Scene as well

Steve, Kevin - this is an API change Tom proposed and implemented. I'm OK with the change, it has low memory footprint and makes the scenegraph API more consistent (Node has exactly the same API, but Window doesn't). We might want to add the same API to Scene at the same time.

Attached 2 patches from Tom.
28-07-2014
patch to come in the next few days
24-07-2014
Tom, is a patch coming for this?
24-07-2014
Yes, send through a patch and I'll review and push to the repo.
15-07-2014
Could we get this in u40? I would provide a patch for it!
