Re: [Repast-developer] Disabling Property Widgets

[Mark R. D. <mdi...@la...>]

No, I think I just mis-understood what setEnabled was for, I thought it 
disabled the widget so that the values couldn't be changed in the event 
there isn't a "setter" for the parameter itself. Now I see that it only 
changes the "capability to edit" the property while the sim is running. 
thanks.

As an example case, say I have a boolean parameter and I use the Boolean 
PropertyDescriptor to make the presentation into a checkbox for that 
value. Is there any "functionality" in the Boolean 
PropertyDescriptor/CheckBoxWidget that disables the user being able to 
change the state checkbox if there is no "setter" present in the 
SimModel class for that parameter/property?
