Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Greying out preferences

[Robert Cragie <robert.cragie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The example I have in mind is basically as follows:

For a particular pane of protocol preferences:

Assume there is a dropdown list called "Options" with two options, "Option 1" and "Option 2".

Assume there is an text box called "Entry"

If dropdown list is "Option 1", the text box "Entry" is enabled and data can be input

else if dropdown list is "Option 2", the text box "Entry" is greyed out and data cannot be input

Are you talking about protocol preferences having "dependencies" on each other so that one preference field effects another?

Are you talking about other GUI items in the (main) menu being based on protocol preferences?

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Greying out preferences

I was wondering if there is an easy way to grey out another GUI item based on e.g. selecting a radio button or dropdown for a protocol's preferences. I can't see anything obvious in prefs.c. The only thing which looked like what I wanted to do was in the top level User Interface preferences where the "File Open" dialog behavior radio button greys out or enables the "Directory" edit box. I looked at this code and it looked very GTK specific. I also took a quick look through some of the other protocol preferences and none of the ones I came across seems to do this dynamic enabling/disabling.

Thanks in advance,

Robert
