Re: [ptp-dev] Questions about widgets in JAXB plugin

#3 is not a problem for me. The only
place I use something like this currently is to enable/disable a set of
widgets based on the user's selection of advanced or basic mode where I'm
leaning towards two separate resource manager implementations anyway. I
can see value to allowing an action on one widget to enable or disable
others is useful, but handling the dependencies in a general way is probably
complicated.

Being able to assign alternate values
to true/false in a general way (#1), where yes/no is just the example I
need is more useful. I think I can also solve that with a pair of radio
buttons with yes/no labels but like the checkbox better.

Dave,

For 2), I think I need to implement a button group and add it to the widget
choices.  
3) To make this completely general would require a bit of work, I think,
but let me chew on it.  Just don't have the time right now ...
