You don't actually want attributeChanged() in this case. This is because
attributeChanged() signifies real changes of attribute. It should only
get called if the attribute is really changed (committed). You don't
want this method to fire if the user is only scrolling through or
messing around with the list of options while the selection dialog is
open, since attributedChanged() may cause side effects.
What you really want is only GUI changes. This would require listening
for user events and changes the dialog GUI content. I think this
requires a more sophisticated Dialog package than the current
PtolemyDialog class. I would be interested in this feature too, if
anyone wants to implement this.....

Hi ,
I am trying to update one of the configurable parameters based on the
value of another Parameter.For this, within the actor I have
implemented the attributeChanged() function which checks if the first
parameter has changed. If yes, then I update the second Parameter. But
this change is only reflected when I hit the Commit Button and reopen
the config dialog box.
e.g, If y=0, I set x =2
If y=1 , I set x = 5
Is it possible to update the Parameters dynamically without reopening
the config dialog box?
Regards,
Sapan
