Description Randy Giffen CLA 2001-10-10 22:46:49 EDT
From Joe Szurszewski

The multi-select behavior in the property sheet where only the common properties are shown is really cool.  
However, the values shown for the common properties are the values for the last selected element.  
What would be really nice would be if the values shown for a multi-select would either be an actual value if
ALL of the selected elements shared that same value, or some placeholder value that indicated there were 
multiple values otherwise.  The situation we've run into involves the enabled property for breakpoints 
(a boolean property).  If I multi-select a bunch of breakpoints, and want to disable them all, if the last breakpoint
I selected is already disabled, I have to first choose enabled, then disabled to disable them all.  Any thoughts?

NOTES:

	Currently we just show the value for the first item in the selection.	
	The property sheet entry could detect the case where the items have different
	values for a property and show some default label.
	The cell editor would still open with the value for the first item but we would always apply the new value to
	all items.

testing in eclipse 2.0.1 - properties view no longer shows anything for multiple selected 
objects.
