- Sub: Re TDialogView Bug
-
- Dear James,
-
- I take your point re IsViewEnabled being checked, but I think it is more a
- rationalization of a bug rather than the explanation of a feature.
-
- I would have thought, that in most situations, if a control is dimmed then it
- means that the application does not want to know about it. Granted, MacApp
- allows the the distinction between enabling and dimming, but enabling is an
- attribute of all view types, and dimming is a specific attribute of controls,
- which really should reflect its enabled status. A control that is not dimmed
- will be assumed to be accessible, and thus enabled, by the user. A control
- that is dimmed will be considered to be not accessible, or disabled.
-
- The default behaviour should be a synchronization between enabling and dimming.
- If an application wants to know about enabled, dimmed controls, then it can
- OVERRIDE.
-
- Tseung Cheung.
