Description
I tried to create a Spark HSlider with multiple thumbs. Problem is, the current component structure doesn't support this. While building around this issue I figured out something that was missing: dynamicSkinParts.
It would be immensely helpful if in the SkinnableComponent we could add handlers for dynamicSkinParts. Then the Spark Slider could be extended to have either one, or multiple thumbs. So if a developer wanted to create a component with 2 or more thumbs they would add these to the component in the skin and the spark component would handle the multiple parts instead of just one. The developer would need to just reference the hostComponent and add to an array of dynamic skin parts.
I know this would take some rework (lots, let's not kid ourselves). But this would extend the current component structure to support more dynamic skins.
Thoughts?
