Re: How to disable menu items?

So what you are saying is that you need a way for the menu to detect which user/user group is looking at the menu.

As you are already saying you have user groups it should not be to hard to inform the menu about the user group that is trying to open it. Once the menu knows which group is trying to open it it can use internal hard coded or externally read logic to decide what fields to render and how to render them, what events to attach to the elements and so on.

I would simply hand the menu a variable/object that identifies the user group accessing it. Then the menu logic can deal with the rest. I would though use an external location to store the logic for the menu so you can easily update it should you need to add a new group in the future.

I hope that helps a bit...

Thank you,

but shouldn't GWT itself provide a mechanism to disable menu items?

Using an additional library is not the problem for me, but using an
additional library because of such a small functionality that should
be present in any menu implementation is a problem for me. As a
consequence I would end up in about a dozent libs...

Isn't there another solution?

Why is this missing?

Thanks
