Greyed out menu items should have a tool tip explaining *why* they're greyed out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-234
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-234
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: studio-ldapbrowser
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Environment: OSX 10.4
Reporter: Alan Batie
All GUIs should have a tool tip explaining why something is greyed out and what
needs to be done to make it active (and it needs to be *useful* information,
not just "it doesn't apply" or "you're not allowed to do that now" --- it's
obvious the *application* thinks that because it's greyed out). In this case,
I did a search against our ldap server, found an attribute that needed removing
and did so. Then I did another search. This time the font changed to italic,
and when I go to delete an attribute, Delete is greyed out. There is no clue
anywhere as to what's going on. I searched in help for the ldap browser, and
found very little.
