[Engine-devel] GUI widget for adding/removing entries

[Lior Vernia]

Hi Malini,

What do you mean by "listed along with the details"? Did you have
something in mind? Maybe tooltips over disabled buttons to explain why
they're disabled?

Concerning sequence, you're correct of course. However, as far as I'm
aware, so far in none of the use cases of this type of widgets was the
order important, so that was my postulate when designing this widget. A
similar widget could be implemented in case the ordering were important.

Lior.

For example, if the user cannot delete the last field remaining, then the minus will be disabled. Also, if the use case needs the user to be able to insert in any place in the list ( assuming that sequence is important), then building on the current model, the plus button will show on all rows etc.
