Hi,

Is there a simple way of disabling a bound control via the bound entity? For instance, I want to disable editing of a certain entityfield NOT by setting the readonly property of the bound control to true in the UI-layer, but by setting something in the Business-Layer which also affects all the bound controls in the UI-layer.

Greetz,

You want to switch it to readonly, based on some rule? You can build that into the Validator object set in the Entity, which is called when a field is set. You can there return false if you don't want the field to be set.

But I'm not sure in which context you want to use this, so if you could elaborate on that abit, it would be great

I know. But I would like the bound control to have its read-only property set to true, so users cannot attempt to set the field.

Isn't there a way to do that through the object bound to the control

If the validator returns false (the <entityname>Validator class that is), the value is rejected and not set.
