canExecute and feedback by MessageBox [message #178674] Thu, 21 April 2005 08:44 Go to next message

Hi,

I want to show an MessageBox to inform the user that a deletion of an
object cannot be done for some reason. So I override the canExecute
method of my deletecommand and add some code to open a messagebox. But
this time it shows the messagebox everytime I select the object.

So I moved the code to execute method so when I press "DEL", it displays
the messagebox but not really delete the object. But now this makes my
editor dirty.

Long story short, what is a good way to show a message box in such a
situation? Or is it better to show feedback differently?

Thanks,
Tankut Koray

Why is the delete action enabled if the user cannot delete the item? I
would say the action should display the message, but the action's run()
method shouldn't even be reachable if the item is not deletable.

Ok than which method of delete command to place "display the message"
part? if I pu it in canExecute method, when I select the figure message
the message is displayed immidiately without pressing the "DEL" key.
