SmartDashboard - 'Hiding' Certain SendableChoosers

My team is using Java this year. We are planning on having many autonomous modes and using the SmartDashboard on the driver station to select between them. We’d have many options for which autonomous to run, and some of these options are only relevant to a select few autonomouses (autonomi?). Is there any way to ‘format’ our SmartDashboard to only show certain categories at certain times? For example, we’d only want to show a certain options menu to be shown if another is checked.

The only way I can think to do this would be to have code running in disabledPeriodic() to add new SendableChoosers based on when certain options are selected. This seems messy and slow, and it would also require constant communication with the robot. Is there a way to handle this ‘client-side’, on the DriverStation only?

Thanks for your help!

+1 for worrying about a UI that is easier for the drivers. They have enough to worry about during setup, making their life easier is what software should do.

Kudos!

The only way I see to do this is to develop your own SmartDashboard extension.
