Stefan Seelmann resolved DIRSTUDIO-234.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
There seems to be no easy way to have tooltips for disabled menu items (it is
necessary to draw them yourself).
The following actions are now always enabled:
- New Attribute/Value
- Edit Value
- Delete Entry/Attribute/Value
If an action makes no sense a warning message pops up, these situations are:
- Add another value to single-valued attriubte
- Add attribute that is not allowed according to the object classes
- Add, modify or delete a read-only attributes
- Delete the RDN attribute
- Delete a mandatory attribute
- Delete a object class and not all attributes are included in the remaining
object classes
What is missing now is an option to avoid these warning popups, see
DIRSTUDIO-459.

> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Environment: OSX 10.4
> Reporter: Alan Batie
> Assignee: Stefan Seelmann
> Fix For: 1.4.0

>
> 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.
