If/Then/Else no longer available in sdef? [message #1142440]

Has support for If/Then/Else been removed from the sdef? If so what is the preferred way to implement this functionality? I checked the migration guide but may have missed it.

Along the same line... what is the preferred way to disable an actuator? I have tried adding a Condition class but this does not seem to affect the behavior.

Hi Paul,

Now I believe the correct thing to use is Visible when expressions. They are much nice than if/then/else and makes the SDEFs more readable IMHO.

For disabling the Actuator are you wanting it to not be visible in UI or just simpled 'disabled/grayed'?

That's right. A few of the constructs in sdef where we have functional overlap have been eliminated in 0.7 code line recently. I am still working on updating the migration guide.

Thanks guys for the confirmation... that's the path I was suspecting.

Suggestions on either case (visible or) would be helpful. I kept thinking there should be a 'visible when' on the actuator.

There is visible-when support for the actuator, but it looks like the sdef editor is missing that property. Could you open a bug?

As for the option of controlling enablement, you take care of that in your action handler implementation via the setEnabled method.

Never mind on opening the bug for missing visible-when for actuator. I have fixed the issue. Please verify.

Pretty much all form components support visible-when directive and now that's correctly exposed in the sdef editor.
