| [gef-dev] Re: Allow disabling |

Hi Randy,
I do think you need to allow the features to be
disabled - especially where they do not make sense, as you mentioned in your
post. Maybe instead of disabling them, you should allow users to enable them.
For instance, if I want to direct edit a label, I have to enable it. I dunno,
just my two bits.
Something that might be relevent to the features
being implemented.
Suppose I have several editparts in a flow layout..
like so.
A
A
A
Now B can contain A's, also in a flow
layout. If I want to add a new B which contains the first
two A's. I have to add B in the flow layout. And then drag the first two A's
into it.
Something that would be better is to choose B from
the palette, and DRAG it over the first two A's (like drawing a marquee
rectangle over the first two A's). This action should add B into the flow layout
and reparent the first two A's into it. I don't think it is trivial do this with
the current GEF.
If you find this relevent, I apologize for not
mentioning this before.
Brian.
