[EMF Forms] Rule Based (dynamic) Enable/Disable of Controls [message #1412478] Tue, 26 August 2014 05:00 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm currently evaluating if we can use EMF Forms instead of our home-grown framework for building and validating eclipse editor forms. I see that it's possible to use EMF Validation with EMF Forms framework but I can't seem to find a way to define rules for enablement of controls. Our home-grown validation framework can disable controls if for example the user has insufficient rights or the current model attribute is locked for editing (depending on a model state). Is there something similar for EMF forms or what would be the proper place to hook in our logic for control enablement?

Cheers
Aleksandar

Hi Aleksandar,

yes, EMF Forms does support rules. There are visibility rules and
enablement rules, which can be attached to any element. The are bound to
a model value.

Best Regards

Jonas
