Let dynamically created pins have a generic dictionary passed to them

[ajitid]

Problem description

To follow: Open “Create Pins Programmatically” patch from the Help Browser, and then right-click open NodeWithDynamicInputs.

Now, mark this NodeWithDynamicInputs node as Generic.

You’d see MyInputGroup at its top-right. This is pin group Input and right now it is Dictionary<String, Integer32>. I can replace its type with Spread as well and it will still work as a generic spread.

It will work because internally vvvv will make it Spread<T>. But I cannot mark it as a generic Dictionary. If I use the type Dictionary I see this error:

Under How can you deal with this?, it suggests you to use Dictionary<string, T>. Right now we have Dictionary<T2,T3>.

If I make the type of the key concrete, I still see the same error:

Expected solution

Putting Dictionary as the type in that input pin should have worked, or else, when I make the key’s type concrete, it should have worked and not raise an error.

Closing as this is already implemented.

To solve this one has to rename the node putting <T> or multiple generic params like <T1, T2> in it. (Generic names just have convention, not restrictions. You could name the generic params like <U, SomethingElse>.)
