Enable Apply button only when Form is Dirty

[afida]

Thanks snpe. NOw I see what you are saying. But I think there should be support for formDirty in composite dialog page context. I don't think my requirements are somewhat special.

But I don't get a response Keith or Ollie then I will try to cook up something along the lines of your code.

Thanks again!

Take a look at AbstractForm. That's most likely where we will add this behaivior at some point. Notice the "getCommitCommand()" action, which encapsulates production of controls that apply a commit action to the formodel - e.g an apply button. It would be straightforward to have this command calculate its enabled state based on the dirty state of the form model. Is there a JIRA issue for this? It's a very good enhancement.

Keith,

I have lookek getCommitCommand() and tried to enable/disable it. Since I hae 3 forms in a TabbedDilalogPage and another control similar to TabbedApplicationDialog, which I call TabbedApplicationPanel, which has the button bar. And currently following TabbedApplicationDialog, it is enabled/dislabed on PageComplete porperty of DialogPage. I don't see how dialogPage gets information about each of its page's form?

But I will log this issue to JIRA along with another issue that I had mentioned here regarding dependent properties.

reload AbstractForm.setEnabled(boolean);

like:

	public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
		super.setEnabled(enabled);
		helpBotton.setEnabled(!enabled);
	}
