RE: [cdt-dev] MBS (IManagedOptionValueHandler) questions

Hi Derek,

I did not fully understand how are you using the value handler
mechanism. Could you elaborate a bit more on this (i.e. where are you
calling the setValue from) so that I could understand your issue.
BTW, you should not call the IOption.setValue directly. You should use
the ManagedBuildManager.setOption() instead.

Mikhail,

When I use option.setValue(boolean), then the UI checkbox is updated
However, when I option.setvalue(string), the the UI textbox is NOT
updated, 
until I do something else in the UI (for example setting a checkbox). Is
this I bug?
