Re: [udig-devel] Disabling Modal Tools and categories
|
Hi Andrea:
Two responses:
- It looks like you found a bug in the category ui (what to do when the
entire category is disabled?). I wonder if we could save the warning
until the user clicks? or otherwise make it not a pop up. The actual
warning comes from the tool you have selected not being able to work on
the provided layer; can you think of a way for us not to let the user
change the tool?
- As for splitting modal tools out; the idea of categories is due to the
large number of modal tools we expect an application to have over time;
I would actually like to organize the tools into an SWT palette; but
even there they have the concept of folders to allow for scalability. Up
until very recently there was only one PAN tool; does a category with
one tool in it meet your needs?

Good afternoon. I'm working on a UDIG 1.1.0 plugin with Eclipse 3.3.3
RCP. We're implementing a group of ModalTools within five
categories. We'd like to disable the tools according to an
"enablement" on the tools in plugin.xml.
The good news is that the disabling of tools works great and happens
when I want. The bad news is that the category icons can still be
clicked - this causes a warning box to pop up from UDig that says the
tool won't work on the selected layer so I should pick another layer.
I'd really like that warning to not appear. Any suggestions for how
to get my category to behave the way I'd like? Or how to split
ModalTools out so they don't need to be in a category?
Thanks for your help.
