I don't know about others here but IMHO a better user experience would be to
remove the selected item from the source list. This way it is not even there to
be selected. Just a simple matter of removing it from the dataprovider.

Here's another convoluted question -- I've got a list that is bound to an
array of a certain Class - let's cal them Permissions. In the Permissions
class you've got userId, read and write (booleans there, id for userId,
normal stuff).
I'm using the same itemrenderer in two lists - a source list which is not
editable and a drop list which is; the itemrenderer has an 'editable'
variable and I'm setting each list's ClassFactory to this same itemrenderer,
with one ClassFactory's properties setting editable to false, one to true.
All that is good.
Now the strange request I JUST had from someone here is that once an item is
dragged and dropped from the source list to the drop list, the item in the
source list should dim to show that it's already been chosen, unable to
choose again. I've created a property called itemEnabled in the
itemrenderer, defaulting to true (so it's ignored in the droplist basically).
Here's the thing; it would be simple enough to set a particular item's
'itemenabled' property in the dataproviider and it would trickle down; but
since this is a list of cast objects that don't have the itemEnabled property
it's a no go...
So is there a way of selecting an itemrenderer or item at a certain position
in the sourcelist and setting IT's itemEnabled to false? Is it something with
the classfactory for a specific item?
