More than 2 options in Settings GUI?
Answer
7/29/10 8:44 PM
Hi,
 
I have written a custom element that associates multiple key/value pairs when it's used in the call flow.

The configuration page in the builder allows the developer to assign a value to whichever key s/he "fills in".  The configuration is the standard "2-column spreadsheet" UI that you see all over the place in the Settings tabs, consisting of "Name" and "Value" columns (hopefully the 'pre' tags work here):
 
<pre>
+-------------+-------------------------+
| Name        | Value                   |
|-------------|-------------------------|
| KEY_A       |                         |
| KEY_B       | {CallData.ANI}          |
| KEY_C       |                         |
| KEY_D       | {Element_01.value}      |
+-------------+-------------------------+
</pre>
 
My question:  Can I add a third column that will contain a checkbox and be readable in the custom code as applicable to each key that it's checked beside?
 
Currently, my solution is to put all the values in one instance of the element, followed by all the [ ] values.  Being able to assign the checkbox (either statically or - hope against hope - dynamically) would improve the usability of the element.
 
If it's possible to develop a Swing panel that's swapped into the builder, I'd be happy to do the work, I just don't know how far I can go to help the future consumers of the element, but I'll go as far as I can to make it easy.

Thanks!

I know that you can have settings that depend upon the value of other
settings, but never heard of adding another column.
