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

[Malini Rao]

I think a few interaction details listed along with the widget will be useful for anyone considering the use of this widget. 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.

Thanks
Malini

Of course, my bad. Attached is a screenshot of the add/edit VM dialog,
note the vNIC part on the bottom half of the dialog.
