Enable/ReadOnly

[nsoutter]

Hi There!
One piece of functionality I'd like to see is a new API call to Checkbox.SetReadOnly();

See, right now you can only set Editable, which hides the checkbox completely (and it calls Read Only too, not sure why). I need my users to be able to see what the settings are on the disabled checkboxes. But they can't, because SetEditable hides that. SetReadOnly, on the other hand.... And really since the function is already there, I imagine you'd only need to add the API Interface.

I'd do it myself if I wasn't swamped, and knew SOMETHING about Git repositories...

Anyways, hope it's something you could get to. It's a big one for me.

Hey nsoutter, thanks for reporting.

Unfortunately you got me on an issue that is actually pretty thorny. Maybe I was just missing a detail, but when I was trying to get the checkbox behavior exactly as you described, I found that setting ReadOnly on the UICheckbox control doesn't actually work. So hiding the UICheckbox when it's ReadOnly was actually a hack to work around the problem that I couldn't find a simple way to actually do it the way you describe.

Turns out the base game actually does things the same way. If you look at the difficulty selection screen, disabled checkbox options also hide the checkbox. Yup...

I'll address this by looking into maybe adding placeholder images that look like checked/unchecked checkboxes. That way the widget will still show status despite not being editable.
