Hi,

still wrestling with descriptions ... But this here is most probably the last problem.

I'm adding parameters to a description via something like:

  
BaseContainer bc = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_REAL);  
bc.SetBool(DESC_ANIMATE, DESC_ANIMATE_ON); // works!  
bc.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME, "foobar"); // works!  
bc.SetBool(DESC_EDITABLE, FALSE); // ????????  
bc.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI, CUSTOMGUI_REALSLIDER); // works!  
isOK = description->SetParameter(DescLevel(20000, DTYPE_REAL, 0), bc, DescLevel(ID_MY_GROUP));

I hoped that setting DESC_EDITABLE to FALSE switches the parameter to readonly, but it can still be edited.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
jl

Hi lovi,
hmm, it works fine for me here. It´s not editable. You know that when it´s "not editable" it does only mean that "Edit Entry" is ghosted in the popupmenu don´t you?

Hi Samir:

Arrrrrgh!! Actually I've hoped that DESC_EDITABLE makes a parameter non-editable in _every_ way. Seems I have to rethink my approach.

Thank you nonetheless!

Hi,
no that´s not possible for an Attributes Manager element always needs to have a popup that ensures for example that the element can be animated (keyframed) which is done via this popup.

Hi,

no, I'm not worrying much about the popup menu. I rather want the displayed number/color/string/whatever of the parameter not to be editable by direct clicking/dragging/typing. Maybe the parameter should in addition be shown in gray instead of black.

Hi,
well the name itself cannot be greyed out independantly. You would need to grey out the whole element (so name and the slider for example). You can do so by overloading GetDEnabling and return either TRUE or FALSE.
