Re: [Repast-interest] Custom displays as probe windows

[Nick C. <vze...@ve...>]

Its easy enough to "trick" the probing mechanism into doing this. Tom
(th...@sr...) did something like this in a model he wrote and
perhaps he could say more.

The idea is to make a dummy parameter and then in the set method execute
whatever code you want (e.g. displaying the internal network). This is
kind of kludgy though. I have to do some clean up on the Probing stuff
today, so I'll add a ButtonPropertyDescriptor that displays some string
as a label (such as "showNetwork") and when pressed calls a set method
in which you can do whatever you want.
