Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Disabling buttons

[Sean P. <sea...@ma...>]

Correct!

Adam tracks which values contribute to which other values through all 
operations -

Any cell value contributing to an invariant is "poison".
Any cell value derived from a poison value is invalid.

Button right now are latches in a pipe (in the future, I want to change 
them to be latch controls, rather than the latch itself). A button 
receives a value and forwards it when clicked. If the value is invalid, 
the button is disabled.

Other controls enable/disable depending on if the cell they are bound 
to was "considered" or not. Every interface cell has a priority, if the 
priority or value contributes, then the cell was considered. Right now, 
considered isn't tracked at as fine a granularity as contributing 
(priority is tracked at the sheet level).
