Well that easy to sort out. You can put a flag to the traits handler that simply forbids it as long as the application is not running. Something like: def if_app_running(callback): app = get_application() # get_application could be anything that # returns the current application def modified_callback(self, *args, **kwargs): if app.running: callback(self, *args, **kwargs) return modified_callback class ConfigurationObject(HasTraits): prompt = String('[%i]') @if_app_running def _prompt_changed(self): do whatever you want here Gaƫl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
