Is it possible to disable PaletteEntries? [message #146611]

Hey @ll!

I provide some CreationTools in my palette.
Now when working with my editor there are some circumstances that not
allow to create a special Model type (which can be created via
CreationTool).

So is there a possibility to deactivate a PaletteEntry (this one providing
the CreationTool)?
Where do I best do so (EditPart, Editor...) ?

Thanks in advance,
Martin.

Sorry, I don't think there's a way of disabling that item on the palette.
But if it's not possible to use that tool (i.e., if the targeted EditPart
returns null or UnexecutableCommand), the user will see a "Not allowed"
cursor when dragging that tool. Is that not acceptable?
