You have to distinguish between descriptions and dialogs! Both (can) use resource files, but they
look completely different! GetDDescription(), GetDEnabling(), etc. are methods that can be overwritten
by a NodeData plugin. And NodeData plugins use descriptions.

If you want to disable dialogs elements, you can use the Enable() method of the GeDialog class.

If you want a specific region in your dialog to be dynamic, you can use LayoutFlushGroup() to
remove all the elements in a specific group and move the widget-insertion-pointer directly into
this group.

I almost always use resource files.

Great, I was not aware of this.
I also use resource files for tags, but for this modal dialog, I found dynamic creation of elements to be perfect.
