So I finally took the plunge and joined the mailing list.

I have been using Wicket for well over a year now and am very happy to have stumbled across it. There's just one question that I never really found an answer to. I have searched the users list a couple of times and found that some people are trying to use the 'setVisible' and 'setEnabled' methods with a Model-argument. They want do this in order to dynamically change visibility or access to a component. This idea has also crossed my mind a couple of times.

The thing is... Wicket doesn't appear to work that way.

When I look at the answers, I see two approaches. One is overriding 'isVisible', the other is to configure visibility from the 'onConfigure' method in the parent component. I tend to use the later.

Because I always like to understand how things work, I would like to ask about the reasoning behind this. Why can't 'setVisible' and 'setEnabled' be controlled using IModel<Boolean> arguments? Is there a technical limitation here? Or is it just a quirk?

Thanks.

Stan
