As an idea, I tend to keep the panel edit/view state as a boolean and then toggle the label on the button and control the behavior of the button press via an if-else statement in the onSubmit() of the button.
This helps because I only have a single Edit/Save button and I toggle from labels to form fields on the fly controlling those components via AjaxFallback*** implemented in a single refrechPanel() method that calls setVisable(editMode) for all the components that are to toggle or hide. Also you can do this to the DataTable rows when necessary similar to how the Editable tree table works: http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/ajax/tree/table/editable?3 I get away with all this because I have my own generic labeled form component that can toggle from a label to a form component and have a <label> html tag as well as an Help icon and feedback panel associated with it. ~ Thank you, Paul Bors -----Original Message----- From: eugenebalt [mailto:eugeneb...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 12:16 PM To: users@wicket.apache.org Subject: Re: WicketRuntimeException: "Submit Button ... is not enabled" It is true that we have multiple buttons on our form that we are disabling/hiding selectively. Our scenario: a panel that contains the button "Edit", and then when it's clicked, the panel opens and "Edit" is replaced by two other visible buttons - "Submit" and "Cancel". "Edit" is gone. We need this dynamic behavior to enable rich, "self-changing" forms. Example: add(new Button ("editButton"){ @Override public boolean isVisible() { return showeditbutton; } @Override public void onSubmit() { showeditbutton = false; // hide this one showsavebutton = true; // show the others showcancelbutton = true; } } These are global variables/flags on the form. So given this "self-changing form" requirement, what's the fastest way to get rid of this intermittent "Not Enabled / Visible" error? Is there a way to turn off this validation in Wicket? -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/WicketRuntimeException-Submit-But ton-is-not-enabled-tp4651180p4651233.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
